Problem P. 4405. (January 2012)

P. 4405. A small object of mass m=0.4 kg is threaded onto a vertical ring of radius r=30 cm, and of centre O. The object can move frictionless along the ring. One end of a spring of spring constant D=16 N/m, and of unstretched length 30 cm is attached to the small object and its other end is fixed to point A on the horizontal diameter of the path. Find the speed of the object when it passes the lowest point of the path C, if it is released from rest at point B. In this case what is the force exerted by the object on the ring, and what is the direction of its acceleration at point C?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A test sebessége:

\(\displaystyle v_{C}=\sqrt{2gr+2r^2\frac{D}{m}(\sqrt{2}-1)}=2{,}98~\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}.\)

A gyűrűre ható erő a \(\displaystyle C\) pontban:

\(\displaystyle N=3mg+Dr\left( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}-3\right)=14{,}34~\rm N.\)

A test gyorsulásvektora a pálya legalsó pontjában

\(\displaystyle arcctg \left(\sqrt{8}+\frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{2}-1}\,\frac{mg}{Dr}\right)\approx 6{,}8^\circ\)

szöget zár be a függőlegessel (és ,,felfelé" mutat).
