The trussed beam of the crane can be approximated as a uniform beam of mass 460 kg, and the two supporting cables (those attached to the top of the crane's cab) can each have a maximum tension of 55 kN. Assume that all cables and the beam are coplanar. (a) Find the maximum wrecking ball mass that the crane can support. (b) Assume that the wrecking ball can act as a simple pendulum.

The ball launcher A large ball with mass mA =5kg falls from a height ℎ=2m into the scoop of a straight balance beam with a length of L=4.5m and mass mB=10kg (see diagram). A small ball with mass mC=1.4kg is located in a second scoop at the other end of the balance beam. The balance beam, at rest, makes an angle α=45∘ relative to the horizontal. After the impact of the large ball on the scoop, it remains there, and the balance beam starts to rotate. When the balance beam is horizontally aligned, a rod momentarily blocks the balance beam, and the small ball is expelled from its scoop. What will be the maximum height reached by the small ball after being expelled from its scoop relative to the horizontal position of the balance beam? (Consider the balls as point masses.)

A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 87.0 kg.

As a submerged body moves through a fluid, the particles of the fluid flow around the body and thus acquire kinetic energy. In the case of a sphere moving in an ideal fluid, the total kinetic energy acquired by the fluid is where p is the mass density of the fluid, V is the volume of the sphere, and v is the velocity of the sphere. Consider a 500-g hollow spherical shell of radius 80 mm that is held submerged in a tank of water by a spring of constant 500 N/m. (a ) Neglecting fluid friction, determine the period of vibration of the shell when it is displaced vertically and then released. (b) Solve part a, assuming that the tank is accelerated upward at the constant rate of 8 m/s2.
