Dynamics and Torques

Using a pencil, answer the following questions. The lab is marked based on clarity of responses,
completeness, neatness, and accuracy. Do your best! Please ensure that any data measured (or recorded)
includes the appropriate number of significant digits (only one uncertain digit).
This activity is divided into three sections:
• Core – this first section explores only the basic “core” ideas involved in understanding. Students must demonstrate a
sound understand with all of their answers in this section BEFORE attempting the next section.
• Mastery – Your instructor will NOT review this section if the Core section above shows any misconceptions. In this
section students will make predictions and apply the concepts and ideas learned above. For complete mastery it is
expected that data collection and scientific procedures will be as accurate as possible. All work shown should be clear
with any units included. Answers should be rounded off to the correct number of significant figures based on the data
collected.
• Ace – Once again, your instructor will only look at this section provided he/she is confident that the above Mastery
criteria has been met. In this section students will demonstrate a deeper understanding of the concepts through error
analysis, experimental design etc. Physics concepts from other units already covered will often be required here.
Objectives:
• To construct a free body diagram showing all forces (gravity and tension)
• To develop an equation for the net force on the entire system of objects, or on a single object
• To determine, graphically, the gravitational field strength, g
Description: (open the sim below)
http://higheredbcs.wiley.com/legacy/college/halliday/0471758019/simulations/sim20/sim20.html
The simulation shows two masses connected by a cord passing over a pulley. You can control the size of
each mass and the simulation will calculate the acceleration of the system, the force of gravity acting on
each mass, and the tension in the cord. The effects of friction and the mass of the pulley can be ignored
(leave as Pulley has no mass).

Sample Solution

As indicated by study performed by Jeffrey A. Frankel, 2005 swapping scale is characterized as the cost of remote money. For example, the swapping scale between Malaysian Ringgit and Dollar is commonly communicated in dollar per Ringgit ($/RM). The conversion standard acts a significant job in the nation economy development and effectively being influenced by the economy emergency. Since free of the Malaysia in 31st August 1957, the nation has confronted and experienced four significant emergencies. The main emergency is in 1971 to 1973 in light of the fact that the finish of the Bretton Woods System and the oil emergency. The subsequent emergency occurred in 1980 to 1981 because of the decrease in ware costs together with the second oil emergency. Pursued by the third emergency somewhere in the range of 1985 and 1986 because of the electronic emergency. The fourth situation occurred during 1997 and 1998 because of money related emergency (Ming-Yu Cheng and Sayed Hossain, 2001). The budgetary emergency has given tremendous effect on the nation monetary development and along these lines contact the nation’s conversion scale. In spite of the fact that, deterioration of the Malaysia’s money has upsides and downsides, the present situation has perceived that the debilitating of Ringgit on the planet showcase brings about more negative than positive outcomes particularly to residents. Hence, it is basic for us to distinguish and comprehend the assurance of conversion standard and the impact to the state, with the goal that we can control the unpredictability of swapping scale and abbreviate the effect to the country.

DETERMINANTS OF VALUE OF RINGGIT

We separated the variables adding to the estimation of Ringgit in three areas. Right off the bat, the financial components, besides, the politic variables and in conclusion the outer elements of the Ringgit.

Financial FACTORS

Loan fee

As per Kevin James, 1998, one of the approaches to draw in outside direct speculation or capital inflow is by expanding loan fee of the nation. High loan fee infers that the financial specialist will increase high benefit from their venture, henceforth this will pull in more speculator to put resources into our state. As a result, the nation parity of installment will be in surplus and the nation money will start to revalue. This show financing cost and swapping scale are emphatically related, higher loan cost can prompt the gratefulness estimation of the Ringgit while low loan fee will prompt devaluation estimation of Ringgit. As per look into performed by Hans Jarle Kind and Mohd Nazari Ismail, 2001, expansionary financial arrangement by government will make the interest for cash and consequently add to increment in loan cost of the nation. At the point when loan cost rises, the nation cash will start to acknowledge too. Though, when government increment the duty toll to open, the nation utilization will all the while decline, in this manner financing cost of the country prone to diminish, this last will bring about the discrediting of the nation cash.

Expansion

As per Elizabeth Chua Siew Eng and John G. Bauer, another component that can influence the Malaysia swapping scale is swelling. High expansion will make the nation money to depreciate, while low swelling will give positive effect to the nation by acknowledging in nation cash. In 1970s, Ringgit has acknowledged against the US Dollar in light of the higher expansion in the US when contrasted with Malaysia. In late 1991 and mid 1992, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) approach of battling swelling by a stringent money related arrangement results in higher financing cost along wirh huge capital inflow to the nation. This had made the Ringgit appreciate. Increments in charge forced on nitizen of the country will probably make the spending reduce in view of higher expansion. For example, when the administration of Malaysia forced GST (great and administrations part) in April 2015, retail spending or utilization decay since obtaining intensity of the individuals decline. As illustrated, the offers of European brands in car division have recorded colossal drop when the GST is being visited. GST additionally anticipated to make swelling come to fruition in Malaysia. Legislative leader of Malaysia Central Bank, Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz likewise perceives that GST will cause swelling.

Capital Inflow

Capital inflow is the factor to decide the estimation of Ringgit. This wonder can be seen during Asian emergencies somewhere in the range of 1997 and 1998. It was not originating from neither skewed trade rates, mixed up household approach, nor absence of straightforwardness in the financial area, yet it was endlessly ascribed to a blend of an unreasonably quick ascent of capital inflows just as the falling worldwide interest for the fares from the district that emerged from a worldwide economy. This view bolstered by Fumitaka Furuoka, Beatrice Lim, Catherine Jikunan and Lo May Chiun. Disdain of this emergency, they demonstrate that it changing the commercial center rule that leads Ringgit to deteriorate. As per Ooi Sang Kuang, in the initial five months of 2006, in view of the great financial crucial by the legislature of Malaysia, for example, new speculation impetus bundles and further progression of outside trade organization measures and furthermore the arrival of Ringgit pegged to US Dollar, capital inflows is generally expanding and Ringgit is refreshing contrasted with US Dollar by 5.5% coming to the most elevated in May by 3.5825. Additionally, in 1986 in view of the inflow of outside trade to Malaysia because of fare and remote direct venture and furthermore due to the exchange shortage US, Malaysian Ringgit shows thankfulness pattern contrasted with USD (Elizabeth Chua Siew Eng and John G. Bauer). The most noticeably terrible money related emergency occurs after autonomy began in mid-1997 when the capital inflows occur in Malaysia. For the most part, capital inflows will upgrade the pace of financial advancement, in any case, in Malaysia case; it alters the recognition on nation’s monetary possibilities. It misfortunes of trust in Malaysia’s capacity to go up against the difficulties ahead include the monetary presentation. It swell out when there is an unexpected withdrawal of momentary capital from the nation and pursued by Thai’s Bath gliding in July 1997(Cheng and Sayed, 2001). As indicated by Cheng and Sayed (2001), this withdrawal has made vulnerability and unpredictability in the outside trade and value commercial centers. They underscore that hysterical speculators began to extricate out the overwhelming size of transient capital, which bringing about a sharp devaluation of money and lift the financing costs.

Financial specialists Speculation

Before Asian Financial Crisis 1997, Malaysian Ringgit is solid in view of Malaysia’s solid exchange position. This made Bank Negara to have a strategy not to help the conversion standard, however to look after it. Sadly, Ringgit has been assaulted by outside financial specialist examiner (Dr. Tarek H. Selim), because of that, Malaysian Ringgit encountered an immense loss of money. As per Gale Raj, Yanice Colón, Silvana Kostembaum and Robert Cordova, as outsiders hold a huge Ringgit as a result of high seaward loan fee, it built up liabilities for the Malaysian financial framework. In this manner, potential seaward theorists need more money to destabilize the Malaysian financial framework. Be that as it may, when the monetary emergency began, much theoretical weights occurs in Malaysia which cause to an expansion of Ringgit credit requests, rose of momentary loan cost, advancing weight on the money, and makes immense capital outpourings that naturally prompts devaluation of Ringgit.

POLITIC FACTORS

Political Stability

Political dependability additionally is one of the segments that impact the estimation of the Ringgit. As indicated by Saleena Saleem (2015), the political emergency in Malaysia can intensify the financial condition whereby solid and trustworthy initiative is essential to empower speculator and purchaser trust. There is term in political factor as expressed by Nordhaus (1975), refered to by Pepinsky (2007), “Political business cycles (PBCs) are politically instigated variances in monetary pointers, for example, spending, joblessness, swelling that relates to a nation’s constituent cycle”. Current questionable issue of 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) embarrassment has revealed debilitating the estimation of the Ringgit.

Absence of straightforwardness in IMDB examination has expanded the capital outpouring coming about because of a decreasing number of financial specialists that end up impacting Ringgit. In July 2015 when the IMDB allegation against the Prime Minister, Najib Razak, Malaysia’s remote stores fell by about 5% of national bank when they flopped trying to continue the Ringgit RM3.80 per US dollar in about fourteen days (Saleena Saleem, 2015). Exacerbate it; there is a sharp fall in remote stores parallel to exposure over 1MDB issue. Malaysia’s outside stores presently remain beneath US$100 billion, raising feelings of trepidation over its capacity to prepare for further money stuns. Money related investigators likewise propose that capital surges will keep adding to advance Ringgit debilitating (Saleena Saleem, 2015).
