Homework Statement
Ignore the mass of the rope and the pulley,frictional force between the man and the board, the board and ground. Now the man is pulling the rope in order to make him and the board move to the right uniformly. Find the man's tension of pulling the rope.
I got a wrong answer.
Could you please explain the pulley's principle in moment of the force or (angular) momentum?
Relevant Equations
The gravity G_1 of the man is 600N,the gravity G_2 of the board is 400N. The coefficient of the kinetic friction μ both between the man and the board,the board and ground is 0.2.
The elastic force of the board,N=G_1+G_2=1000N.
The kinetic friction f=μN=200N.
The tension T=f=200N.

You need to show the forces on your diagram.

PS have you heard the term mechanical advantage?

You mean like it? Forgive my ignorance,please. I may not know term mechanical advantage. Do you mean the next fig.2? I learnd that it comes from the level principle,and the level seems that it comes from the moment force or (angular) momentum,but I don't know how to find the momentum or radius vector.

Tension is a two-way force in a rope.

A lever is not the only example of mechanical advantage. Sometimes you can use a pulley system!

Thank you.😊
I learned pulley system two years ago at junior high,but I am not good analyse it.
All in all, thanks for your help!😸
 

Related to Find the man's tension pulling the rope

1. How do you find the man's tension pulling the rope?

To find the man's tension pulling the rope, you need to consider the forces acting on the system. Use Newton's second law (F = ma) to set up equations of motion for the system and solve for the tension in the rope.

2. What factors affect the man's tension pulling the rope?

The man's tension pulling the rope is affected by the mass of the object being pulled, the acceleration of the object, and any other external forces acting on the system.

3. Can the man's tension pulling the rope be greater than the weight of the object?

Yes, the man's tension pulling the rope can be greater than the weight of the object if the object is being accelerated upwards or if there are other external forces acting on the system.

4. How does the angle of the rope affect the man's tension pulling the rope?

The angle of the rope affects the man's tension pulling the rope by changing the direction of the tension force. As the angle increases, the tension force in the rope also increases.

5. What is the significance of finding the man's tension pulling the rope?

Finding the man's tension pulling the rope is important in understanding the dynamics of the system and ensuring that the object is being pulled with the necessary force to achieve the desired motion or acceleration.
