Chapter 11.3, Problem 11.69P
In a water-tank test involving the launching of a small model boat, the model’s initial horizontal velocity is 6 m/s and its horizontal acceleration varies linearly from −12 m/s2 at t = 0 to −2 m/s2 at t = t1 and then remains equal to −2 m/s2 until t = 1.4 s. Knowing that v = 1.8 m/s when t = t1, determine (a) the value of t1, (b) the velocity and the position of the model at t = 1.4 s.

1.. 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)
