The motor pulls on the cable at $A$ with a force $F=\left(30+t^{2}\right)$ Ib, where $t$ is in seconds. If the 34 -lb crate is originally on the ground at $t=0,$ determine its speed in $t=4 \mathrm{s}$ Neglect the mass of the cable and pulleys. Hint: First find the time needed to begin lifting the crate.

Key Concepts

Newton’s Second Law

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration (F_net = m * a). This principle provides the foundation for relating forces to changes in the motion of objects and is critical when calculating acceleration or velocity in dynamics problems, especially when multiple forces are involved.

Time-Dependent Force

This concept involves forces that change as a function of time rather than remaining constant. In many practical engineering and physics problems, the magnitude of an applied force can vary with time, and understanding its impact requires analyzing how the force evolves. This time dependency often necessitates the use of calculus to integrate the force over time to determine work done or the resulting acceleration of an object.

Overcoming Gravitational Force

In any lifting or vertical motion scenario, an object’s weight (the gravitational force acting on it) must be overcome by the applied force for the object to start moving upward. The idea is that until the applied force exceeds the object’s weight, there will be no net upward acceleration. Recognizing the threshold at which the force overcomes gravitational pull is essential to identify when motion will commence.

Integration of Acceleration

When the acceleration is not constant but varies with time, integration becomes a crucial mathematical tool. By integrating acceleration with respect to time, one can determine the velocity of an object as a function of time. This process is fundamental in dynamics problems where forces (and therefore acceleration) have a time-dependent behavior, enabling the determination of speed after a given time interval.
