Homework SourseIf two skaters at rest pull on the rope find velocity of ska
If two skaters at rest pull on the rope find velocity of skater A [ft/s] if velocity of skater B is vB=2[ft/s]. Weights of skaters are WA=160 [lb] and WB=220 [lb]. Assume that there is no friction between skates and ice.
If two skaters at rest pull on the rope find velocity of skater A [ft/s] if velocity of skater B is vB-2[ft/s]. Weights of skaters are that there is no friction between skates and ice.Solution
>> Let Velocity of skater B is
>> Now, as Velocity of skater A is VA = 2 ft/s
As, Momentum of system will remain conserved because no external force is acting on the system.
As, Weight of Skater A, As = 160 lb and of B , An = 220 lb
>> APPLYING MOMENTUM CONSERVATION
=> Ma*Va = MB*Vb
=> 160*Va = 220*2
=> VA = 2.75 ft/s .......REQUIRED VELOCITY OF SKATER A....... ANSWER.....
