Required information The figure shows a weapon called a battering ram (modern large battering rams are typically mounted on armored vehicles). The ram has a weight Wr= 2500 lb, center of mass at E, and radius of gyration kE= 6.5 ft. The distance between points A and B and between points Cand D is 6 ft. Consider h= 4.5 ft and d= 3 ft. The connections at points A, B, C, and D are pin connections, and assume that the cart does not move while the ram swings. Assume that AB and CD are inextensible cords with negligible mass. In addition, assume that, at the instant shown, 0 = 10° and the ram is swinging forward with vE = 4.5 ft/s.

This is all the information that's given: A link arm (see figure below) has the mass m and center of gravity / center of mass at point G. The arm is freely articulated at point O. At points A, B and C, respectively, there are attachments for a spring and a rope that runs over a stationary pulley at point D (neglect the dimensions of the pulley). The spring is 2.0 m long in the untensioned position and gives a force F = k s on the arm, where s is the extension / compression of the spring.

A bar is attached to the spring at the point C. The left end of the bar is pin supported and can rotates about the pin at Point A. The mass of the bar is m=20kg. The total length of the bar is LAB=3m and LAC=2m. Point A is 0.6 m below the ceiling. A clockwise constant couple moment M= 30Nm is applied on the bar so that the bar rotates from the horizontal position with θ=0° to the vertical position with θ=90°. The spring always maintains at the vertical position. The spring’s stiffness coefficient is k=30N/m and its unstretched length is 0.5 m. The acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s2.
