A piece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a speed of 4 m/s. After contact, the equipment experiences an acceleration of a = −kx, where k is a constant and x is the compression of the packing material. If the packing material experiences a maximum compression of 15 mm, determine the maximum acceleration of the equipment.

The brake mechanism used to reduce a gun recoil consists of a piston attached to a barrelmoving in the fixed cylinder filled with oil. As the barrel recoils with an initial velocity v0, the piston moves and the oil is forced through the orifices in the piston, causing the piston and the cylinder todecelerate at a rate proportional to their velocities. Determine v (t), x (t), and v (x)arrow_forward

During impact, particles collide with a very short interaction period. The interparticle impulse during an impact collision includes a deformation impulse as particles undergo some combination of elastic and plastic deformation plus a restitution impulse during which some portion of of the deformation is reversed. The magnitude of the restitution impulse is always greater than that of the deformation impulse.

Type B has three identical and independent tires, and the failure rate of each tire is 0.0006 failures per hour. Obviously, when any one of the tires for both types is punctured, the motorcycle cannot be driven. Calculate the following for both types A and B: (a) Motorcycle failure rate with respect to tires.
