A 500 kg air conditioner sits on the flat roof of a building. The coefficient of static friction between the roof and the air conditioner is 0.90. A massless rope attached to the air conditioner passes over a massless, frictionless pulley at the edge of the roof. In an effort to drag the air conditioner to the edge of the roof, four 100 kg students hang from the free end of the rope, but the air conditioner refuses to budge. What is the magnitude of the rope tension at the point where it is attached to the air conditioner?

Step 1: Begin by identifying the forces acting on the air conditioner. The air conditioner is stationary, so the static friction force is preventing it from moving. The maximum static friction force is given by the formula: fmax = μNs, where μ is the coefficient of static friction and Ns is the normal force.
Step 2: Calculate the normal force acting on the air conditioner. Since the air conditioner is on a flat roof, the normal force is equal to its weight. The weight is given by Ns = mg, where m is the mass of the air conditioner (500 kg) and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²).
Step 3: Determine the maximum static friction force using the coefficient of static friction (μ = 0.90) and the normal force calculated in Step 2. Substitute these values into the formula fmax = μNs.
Step 4: Analyze the forces exerted by the students hanging from the rope. The total weight of the students is given by W = mg, where m is the combined mass of the students (4 × 100 kg = 400 kg) and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Calculate this total weight.
Step 5: Compare the tension in the rope (equal to the weight of the students) to the maximum static friction force. Since the air conditioner does not move, the tension in the rope must be less than or equal to the maximum static friction force. The magnitude of the rope tension at the point where it is attached to the air conditioner is equal to the weight of the students hanging from the rope.

Static Friction

Static friction is the force that resists the initiation of sliding motion between two surfaces in contact. It is characterized by a coefficient of static friction, which quantifies the maximum frictional force before movement occurs. In this scenario, the static friction between the air conditioner and the roof must be overcome by the tension in the rope for the air conditioner to move.

Weight and Gravitational Force

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth). In this case, the total weight of the four students hanging from the rope creates a downward force that contributes to the tension in the rope. Understanding how weight affects tension is crucial for analyzing the forces acting on the air conditioner.

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma). This principle helps in understanding the balance of forces in the system, where the tension in the rope must equal the static friction force to prevent the air conditioner from moving. Analyzing these forces allows us to determine the conditions under which the air conditioner will start to slide.
