A perfectly flexible cable has length L, and initially it is at rest with a length Xo of it hanging over the table edge. Neglecting friction, compute the length hanging over the table edge after an elapsed time t, assuming cable sections remain straight during the subsequent motion.

Answer:

[tex]X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Length = L

At initial over hanging length = Xo

Lets take the length =X after time t

The velocity of length will become V

Now by energy conservation

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2=mg(X-X_o)[/tex]

So

[tex]V=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}[/tex]

We know that

[tex]\dfrac{dX}{dt}=V[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dX}{dt}=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{2g}\ dt=(X-X_o)^{-\frac{1}{2}}dX[/tex]

At t= 0 ,X=Xo

So we can say that

[tex]X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

So the length of cable after time t

[tex]X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
