How to convert Kilograms to Pounds. 1 kilogram (kg) is equal to 2.5 pounds (lbs). The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in kilograms (kg) divided by 0.45359237.
Test 2. November 10, 2004
You must show the working for all solutions. No credit will be given for an answer without the work. Take g to be 9.80 m/s2
1. An 80 kg block is pulled at a constant speed of 4.0 m/s across a horizontal floor by an applied force of 120 N directed 40 above thehorizontal. What is the rate at which the force does work on the block?
The horizontal component of the force is Fx = (120 N)cos(40) = 91.925 N
The rate at which it does work, or the power, is P = Fx v = (91.925 N)(4.0 m/s) = 367.70W
(More compactly, P = F.v)
2. A block of mass m = 2.5 kg is dropped from height h = 40 cm onto a spring of spring constant k = 2000 N/m. Find the maximum distance thespring is compressed. (Use figure 8-36)
The block initially has zero kinetic energy. It falls a distance h onto the spring, but, when it reaches the spring, it is moving at some speed, so itcontinues downwards, compressing the spring a distance x. It eventually slows down and stops. Of course, it then bounces back up again, butat the instant of time when it stops, it has no kinetic energy, it has lost potential energy mg(h + x) and this has been converted into elasticpotential energy of the spring, ½ kx2.
½ kx2 = mg(h + x)
½ kx2 -mgx - mgh = 0
Putting in numbers
1000 x2 - (2.5*9.8)x - (2.5*9.8*0.40) = 0
This is a quadratic equation. One solution is positive (that is the one we need) and the other is negative (what does that mean?). The positivesolution is
x = 0.112 m = 11.2 cm
3. A 1000 kg automobile is at rest at a traffic signal. At the instant the light turns green, the automobile starts to move with a constantacceleration of 5.0 m/s2. At the same instant a 2000 kg truck, traveling at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile.(a) How far is the center of mass of the automobile - truck system from the traffic light at t = 3.0 s? (b) What is the speed of the center of massthen?
At t = 3.0 s, the position of the automobile is x1 = ½ at2 = 22.5 m
and its velocity is v1 = at = 15.0 m/s
The truck moves at constant velocity v2. At t = 3.0 s is position is x2 = v2t = 30 m
and its speed is 10.0 m/s
(a) The position of the center of mass is
xCofM = (m1x1 + m2x2)/(m1 + m2) = (1000*22.5 + 2000*30)/(1000 + 2000) = 27.5 m
(b) The velocity of the center of mass is
vCofM = (m1v1 + m2v2)/(m1 + m2) = (1000*15.0 + 2000*10.0)/(1000 + 2000) = 11.67 m/s
4. What are the magnitudes of (a) the angular velocity, (b) the radial acceleration, and (c) the tangential acceleration of a spaceship taking acircular turn of radius 3600 km at a speed of 25,000 km/h?
(a) w = v/r = 25,000/3600 = 6.944 rad/h = 1.929 × 10-3 rad/s
(b) aradial = -v2/r = (25,000)2/3600 = 1.7361 × 105 km/h2 = 13.396 m/s2
(c) Since the speed of the spaceship is constant, the tangential acceleration is zero.
5. A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.4 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and he holds abrick in each hand. The rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man, bricks, and platform about the central vertical axis of the platformis 5.0 kg-m2. If by moving the bricks the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to 2.0 kg-m2, what are (a) the resulting angularspeed of the platform and (b) the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy? (c) What source provided theadded kinetic energy?
(a) Angular momentum is conserved, so
Iiwi = Ifwf
wf = wi(Ii/If) = (1.4 rev/s)(5.0 / 2.0) = 3.5 rev/s
(b) The rotational kinetic energy in each case is ½ Iw2 so the ratio of the new kinetic energy to the old is
(2.0 * 3.52)/(5.0*1.42) = 2.5
(There was no need to convert rev/s to radians/s in this case, but, if you were not sure that you could do it this way, there would be no harm indoing the conversion)
(c) Where did the extra energy come from? The man provided it by muscle power. When he pulled the bricks inwards, he would have felt aforce resisting him, and he did work overcoming that force.
6. A uniform cubical crate is 0.80 m on each side and weighs 600 N. It rests on a floor with one edge against a very small, fixed obstruction. Atwhat least height above the floor must a horizontal force of magnitude 400 N be applied for the crate to tip?
The small obstruction is at point A. The force F causes the crate to rotate clockwise about point A. Once the crate begins to rotate, the onlypoint on the crate that is in contact with the floor is the corner at A, so the normal force must act there. If we choose A as the axis, andcalculate the torques about that point, the only forces that contribute are the weight W and the applied force F.Net torque about A is
W * (0.40 m) - F * x
If x is just large enough for the crate to tip, this must be infinitesimally different from zero.
W * (0.40 m) - F * x = 0 if x = W*(0.40m)/F = 600N * 0.40m / 400N = 0.60 m.
7. A body of mass 4.0 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one fourthof its original speed. (a) What is the mass of the other body? (b) What is the speed of the two-body center of mass if the initial speed pf the 4.0kg body was 5.0 m/s?
(a) In an elastic collision, v1f = vi(m1 - m2)/(m1 + m2)
If the speed of particle 1 is reduced by a factor of 4
1/4 = (m1 - m2)/(m1 + m2)
4(m1 - m2) = (m1 + m2)
3m1 = 5m2
m2 = 0.6 m1 = 2.4 kg
(b) Before the collision, only mass 1 is moving, at 5.0 m/s, so the speed of the two-body center of mass is (see problem 3 for formula)
vCofM = (4.0 * 5.0 + 2.4 * 0)/(4.0 + 2.4) = 3.125 m/s Folderbrander 2 4 download free.
With the values used in the quiz:
(a) In an elastic collision, v1f = vi(m1 - m2)/(m1 + m2)
If the speed of particle 1 is reduced by a factor of 5
1/5 = (m1 - m2)/(m1 + m2)
5(m1 - m2) = (m1 + m2)
4m1 = 6m2
m2 = 0.667 m1 = 4.0 kg
(b) Before the collision, only mass 1 is moving, at 3.0 m/s, so the speed of the two-body center of mass is (see problem 3 for formula)
vCofM = (6.0 * 3.0 + 4.0 * 0)/(6.0 + 4.0) = 1.8 m/s
8. A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has half the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.0 m/s and thenhas the same kinetic energy as the son. What are the original speeds of (a) the father and (b) the son?
(a) Extract from the information the idea that the father's kinetic energy is doubled when his speed in increased by 1.0 m/s.
½ mf(vf + 1.0)2 = 2 × ½ mfvf2
(vf + 1.0)2 = 2vf2
Take the square root of both sides
57.3 Kg
vf + 1.0 = 1.4142 vf
0.4142 vf = 1.0
vf = 2.4142
(b) The second piece of information is that the son has half the mass of the father but has, initially, twice the kinetic energy of the father. Therefore
½ (mf/2)vs2 = 2 × ½ mfvf2
1/4 vs2 = vf2
vs2 = 4vf2
vs = 2vf = 4.8284 m/s

Usual Adult Dose for Anesthesia
NOTE: The dosages presented are manufacturer suggested doses. Actual doses used vary widely between patients. Local protocol should be consulted before administering this drug.
INDUCTION OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA:
-Adults less than 55 years of age and classified as ASA-PS I or II: 2 to 2.5 mg/kg IV titrated at approximately 40 mg every 10 seconds until onset of induction; the amount of IV opioid and/or benzodiazepine premedication will influence the response of the patient to an induction dose
-Cardiac Anesthesia: 20 mg every 10 seconds until induction onset (0.5 to 1.5 mg/kg)
-Neurosurgical Patients: 20 mg (1 to 2 mg/kg) IV every 10 seconds until induction onset
MAINTENANCE OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA:
-Adults less than 55 years of age and classified as ASA-PS I OR II: 100 to 200 mcg/kg/minute (6 to 12 mg/kg/h) IV as a variable rate infusion with 60% to 70% nitrous oxide and oxygen provides anesthesia for patients undergoing general surgery.
-Maintenance immediately following the induction dose: During the initial period following the induction dose, higher rates of infusion are generally required (150 to 200 mcg/kg/min IV) for the first 10 to 15 minutes; then decreased 30% to 50% during the first half-hour of maintenance; 50 to 100 mcg/kg/min in adults should be achieved during maintenance to optimize recovery times.
-Neurosurgical Patients: 100 to 200 mcg/kg/min (6 mg/kg/h to 12 mg/kg/h) IV
MAINTENANCE OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA (INTERMITTENT BOLUS):
-Adults less than 55 years of age and classified as ASA-PS I OR II: Increments of 25 to 50 mg may be administered with nitrous oxide in adult patients undergoing general surgery.
INITIATION OF MONITORED ANESTHESIA CARE (MAC) SEDATION:
-Adults less than 55 years of age and classified as ASA-PS I OR II: Slow infusion/injection is recommended to avoid apnea or hypotension. Most patients require 100 to 150 mcg/kg/min (6 to 9 mg/kg/h) for 3 to 5 minutes or a slow injection of 0.5 mg/kg over 3 to 5 minutes followed immediately by a maintenance infusion.
MAINTENANCE OF MAC SEDATION:
Adults less than 55 years of age and classified as ASA-PS I OR II:
-Infusion method: 100 to 150 mcg/kg/min (6 mg/kg/h to 9 mg/kg/h) over 3 to 5 minutes and titrate to the desired clinical effect while monitoring respiratory function.
-Slow injection method: 0.5 over 3 to 5 minutes and titrated to clinical responses; when administered slowly over 3 minutes to 5 minutes, most patients will be adequately sedated, and the peak drug effect can be achieved while minimizing undesirable cardiorespiratory effects occurring at high plasma levels.
COMMENTS:
-Infusion rates should always be titrated downward in the absence of signs of light sedation until mild responses to stimulation are obtained.
-With the intermittent bolus method, there is increased potential for respiratory depression, transient increases in sedation depth, and prolongation of recovery.
INITIATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ICU SEDATION IN INTUBATED, MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS:
-Most adult ICU patients recovering from the effects of general anesthesia or deep sedation: Because of the residual effects of previous anesthetic or sedative agents, in most patients the initial infusion should be 5 mcg/mg/kg (0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg/h for at least 5 minutes; subsequent increments of 5 to 10 mcg/kg/min (0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg/h) over 5 to 10 minutes may be used until desired effect is achieved; maintenance rates of 5 to 50 mcg/kg/min (0.3 to 3 mg/kg/h) or higher may be required; do not exceed 4 mg/kg/hour unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
COMMENTS:
-Dosage and rate of administration should be individualized and titrated to the desired effect, according to factors including the patient underlying medical problems, preinduction and concomitant medications, age, ASA-PS classification, and level of debilitation of the patient. The elderly, debilitated, and ASA-PS III or IV patients may have exaggerated hemodynamic and respiratory responses to rapid bolus doses (see (for at least 5 minutes; subsequent increments of 5 to 10 mcg/kg/min (0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg/hr) over 5 to 10 minutes may be used until the desired clinical effect is achieved; maintenance rates of 5 to 50 mcg/kg/min IV (0.3 to 3 mg/kg/hr) or higher may be required; administration should not exceed 4 mg/kg/hr IV unless the benefits outweigh the risks

Other Comments
General:
-This drug should be administered only by persons trained in the administration of general anesthesia and not involved in the Procedure.
-Facilities for maintenance of an airway, providing artificial ventilation, administering supplemental oxygen, and instituting cardiovascular resuscitation should be immediately available.
-The safety of this drug has not been established when used for continuous infusion.
-This drug contains benzyl alcohol.
-The tubing and any unused portions of drug should be discarded after 12 hours because the vial contains no preservatives and is capable of supporting growth of microorganisms.
Monitoring:
-Patients should be monitored for their ability to demonstrate purposeful response while sedated.
-Patients should be monitored during sedation and through the recovery process for early signs of hypotension, apnea, airway obstruction, and/or oxygen desaturation.
-Caution is recommended in patients with cardiac, respiratory, renal or hepatic dysfunction, and patients who are hypovolemic or debilitated.
-This drug should be used cautiously in patients with lipid metabolism disorders.
-This drug has been associated with reports of bradycardia (possibly profound) and asystole. The IV administration of an anticholinergic agent prior to induction, or during maintenance of anesthesia should be considered, especially in situations where vagal tone is likely to predominate or when this drug is used in conjunction with other agents likely to cause bradycardia.
-This drug reduces cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, and cerebral metabolism. This reduction in intracranial pressure is greater in patients with an elevated baseline intracranial pressure.
-There is a risk of seizure during the recovery phase following administration of this drug to a patient with epilepsy.
-There are very rare reports of metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, and/or rapidly progressive cardiac failure (occasionally fatal) in adults treated with an infusion in excess of 5 mg/kg/hour for more than a 58-hour duration. The majority of these reports, though not all, have been in patients with serious head injuries associated with intracranial pressure. Decreasing the dosage or switching to an alternative sedative should be considered if these adverse effects continue. -The maximum dosage of propofol for adult sedation in an intensive care setting should not exceed 4 mg/kg/hour.
-This drug is not recommended by the manufacturer for obstetrics, including Cesarean section deliveries as it crosses the placenta, and may be associated with neonatal depression.
Patient Advice:
-Patients undergoing anesthesia or sedation (particularly those undergoing outpatient surgery or procedures) should be warned of the potential for central nervous system depression. Driving, or other hazardous activities should be avoided.
