Concept explainers
(a)
The best coordinate system for analyzing the motion of book kept on sloping table
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Coordinate system are used to find the position of an object. The position of an object shown by two points from X and Y axis in co-ordinate system.
Here we have to analyse the motion in two co-ordinate system X axis and Y axis. The Y axis is takenperpendicular to the table.The X axis is along the surface of a table. The coordinate system as shown in figure below.
Conclusion:
The best coordinate system that is used is X axis along the book and Y axis perpendicular to book.
(b)
The way, the components of weight of the book related to the angle of the table.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Coordinate system are used to find the position of an object. The position of an object shown by two points from X and Y axis in co ordinate system.
Here weight of the book has two components one component is along the Y-axis that is perpendicular and another component is along the X-axis that is parallel to the incline surface.
Conclusion:
Thus, weight of the book has two components one component is along the Y-axis and other component is along the X-axis that is parallel to the incline surface
