A lorry of mass 5000 kg is driven across a metal beam bridge of mass 20 tonnes. The bridge is a roadway of length 10m that is supported at both ends. Two identical lorries cross the bridge at the same speed, starting at the same instant, from opposite directions. (iii) How do the reaction forces of the supports on the bridge vary as the lorries cross the bridge?

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. The wooden block (mass m = 0.5358 kg) is released from rest at A by a compressed spring (compressed length 0.6 m, undeformed length 1 m, spring constant k = 150 N/m). The block is allowed to slide through the rough horizontal surface (A to B), then along the smooth circular ramp (B to C, central angle θ = 47.2°, until the block is released after point C. Calculate the speed of the block at points B and C. Also, what is the magnitude of the normal force exerted to the block just before the block leaves the ramp? Neglect the geometry of the block. NOTE: Use Work-Energy Method to solve for the speeds; use Force-Mass-Acceleration (FMA) Method to compute for the normal force.

Q2/ During the 2007 French Open, Venus Williams hit the fastest recorded serve in a premier women’s match, reaching a speed of 58 m/s. What is the average force exerted on the 0.057 kg tennis ball by Venus Williams’ racquet, assuming that the ball’s speed just after impact is 58 m/s, that the initial horizontal component of the velocity before impact is negligible, and that the ball remained in contact with the racquet for 5 ms?
Block A (m = 5 kg), seen in the figure, sits on a smooth surface and is attached by a slender rod to a ball-and-socket joint at B. If the moment and force shown are simultaneously applied to the block, what will the speed of the block be after 4 seconds (starting from rest)?

A prop shaft of a heavy duty truck has two bearings which are positioned at 3 meters from each other. The shaft must rotate 30 rad/s when the truck travels at the speed of 40 m/s. Such a shaft carries two masses of 10 kg and 5 kg acting at the extremities of the arms 0,45 m and 0,6 m long, respectively. The planes in which these masses rotates are 1,2 m and 2,4 m, respectively, from the left end bearing supporting the shaft. The angle between the arms is 60 degrees. If the masses are balanced by two counter-masses named X and Y rotating with the shaft acting at a radius of 0,3 m and placed at 0,3 m from each bearing centre. 1.Draw a diagram illustrating the position of masses on the shaft. 2.Calculate the dynamic force in Newtons 3.Calculate the moment acting on the shaft in Newton-metre.
