The flat-bed trailer carries two 1500-kg beams with the upper beam secured by a cable. The coefficients of static friction between the two beams and between the lower beam and the bed of the trailer are 0.25 and 0.30, respectively. Knowing that the load does not shift, determine(a) the maximum acceleration of the trailer and the corresponding tension in the cable, (b) the maximum deceleration of the trailer.

a) a= 8.33 m/s²,    T = 12.495 N , b)    a = 2.45 m / s²

Explanation:

a) this is an exercise of Newton's second law. As the upper load is secured by a cable, it cannot be moved, so the lower load is determined by the maximum acceleration.

We apply Newton's second law to the lower charge

            fr₁ + fr₂ = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

          fr = μ N

Y Axis

         N - W₁ –W₂ = 0

         N = W₁ + W₂

         N = (m₁ + m₂) g

Since the beams are the same, it has the same mass

        N = 2 m g

We replace

           μ₁ 2mg + μ₂ mg = m a

          a = (2μ₁ + μ₂) g

          a = (2 0.30 + 0.25) 9.8

          a= 8.33 m/s²

Let's look for cable tension with beam 2

          T = m₂ a

          T = 1500 8.33

          T = 12.495 N

b) For maximum deceleration the cable loses tension (T = 0 N), so as this beam has less friction is the one that will move first, we are assuming that the rope is horizontal

           fr = m₂ a₂

           N- w₂ = 0

          N = W₂ = mg

          μ₂ mg = m a₂

          a = μ₂ g

          a = 0.25 9.8

          a = 2.45 m / s²

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
