Two particles, each of mass m, are connected by a light inflexible string of length l. The string passes through a small smooth hole in the centre of a smooth horizontal table, so that one particle is below the table and the other can move on the surface of the table. Take the origin of the (plane) polar coordinates to be the hole, and describe the height of the lower particle by the coordinate z, measured downwards from the table surface.

It is now in free fall becauseit only experiences the force due to its weight and a friction force proportional to its speed Use the preceding result (C.0.3) to explain why the grains of pollen can stay suspended in the atmosphere for a long time, hence they can spread over large distances under the influenceof the wind, before depositing on the ground and thereby causing allergies.arrow_forwardProblem 1.15 Calculate the divergence of the following vector functions: (a) va = x² + 3xz²ŷ - 2xz2.arrow_forwardA block of mass m is released from rest on a frictionless triangular block of mass M and angle of inclination (as shown below).

- At southern latitude 1 (refer to Figure 1), under the influence of Corlolz force, a projectile of mass m is launch vertically upward (along z direction) with initial speed vo from a point on Earth's surface. Find the positions of the projectile when it strikes the ground, in terms of m, Vo, g, h, properly define constants and coordinates.

Figure 1.arrow_forward2.7 There are certain simple one-dimensional problems where the equation of motion (Newton's second law) can always be solved, or at least reduced to the problem of doing an integral. One of these (which we have met a couple of times in this chapter) is the motion of a one-dimensional particle subject to a force that depends only on the velocity v, that is, F = F(v). Write down Newton's second law and separate the variables by rewriting it as m dv/F(v) = dt. Now integrate both sides of this equation and show that t = m v dv' F(v¹) Vo Provided you can do the integral, this gives t as a function of v. You can then solve to give v as a function of t. Use this method to solve the special case that F(v) = Fo, a constant, and comment on your result. This method of separation of variables is used again in Problems 2.8 and 2.9.arrow_forwardFind the answer for the given: Let L be the length. Let M be the mass.
