Solution: There are two interacting systems: aliminam and ice, ‘The system comes to thermal equilibrium in four steps: (1) the ice temperature increases from 10 °C to —0 °C; (2) the ice becomes water at 0 °C; (3) the water temperature increases from 0 °C to 20 °C; and (4) the cup temperature decreases from 70 °C ta 20°C.

Their trebuchet includes a counterweight mass of 931 kg, a-moment arm, fy — 2m, a projectile mass of 7 kg, a moment: arm £2) — 10 m, rm mass of 25 kg, and a release angle of & = 90° due to a stopper on the trebuchet that: stops the projectile arm from going any further. "The pivot pout is 8 1 above the ground, Find the distance from the castle wall that the trebuchet needs to be plaeed so that the projectile hits che wall Solution: This problem uses the torque created by the difference in the force/moment-arm ratios of the counterweight. and projectile to generate an angular acceleration, There are two torque terms for the trebuchet. The counterweight will create a clockwise rotation (whieh by convention is negative) and the projectile will create a Positive counterclockwise rotation. Because the projectile is ina cup attached to the arm, the foree and the arm are perpendicular to each other. For that torque term, IF, sinfangle) — RyF, However, the counterweight ane its moment arm are not perpeneiicular to each other The figure below shows the angle between thom.

Once the projectile leaves the trebuchet, we neod to switch to linear motion. To find the linear velocity with which the projectile leaves the trebuchet, we convert the angular velocity to linear velocity. v= wR, (20) Physics 130 General Physics: Fall 2012 » = 68% «10m (21) v= 68in/s (22) (23) ‘The original description tells us that the projectile travels through an angle of 90°while on the trebuchet. Using this information, we can find the angle at which the projectile leaves the trebuchet and its height. We need to use the kinematic equations for projectile motion to find the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground, Then use this time, to calculate the horizontal range of the trebuchet. vy = vsind = 68n/s x sin 37” = Aim/s (21) (25) We're able to ealenlate the starting height of the projectile using the figure nbove. Because the trebuehct travels through 90°, we can use the same triangle for right before the trebuchet is fired and right after the projectile is released.
