A 4-lb collar which can slide on a frictionless vertical rod is acted upon by a force P which varies in magnitude as shown. Knowing that the collar is initially at rest, draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine its velocity at t= 3 s.
The subway train shown is traveling at a speed of 30 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied on the wheels of cars B and C , causing them to slide on the track, but are not applied on the wheels of car A. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35 between the wheels and the track, determine (a) the distance required to bring the train to a stop, (b) the force in each coupling.
A light train made up of two cars is traveling at 90 km/h when the brakes are applied to both cars. Knowing that car A has a mass of 25 Mg and car B a mass of 20 Mg, and that the braking force is 30 kN on each car, determine (a) the distance traveled by the train before it comes to a stop, (b) the force in the coupling between the cars while the train is slowing down.

The package travels without friction along a circle of radius r and is deposited on a horizontal surface at C.

Assuming that an automobile traveling at 45 mi/h is brought to a stop in 110 ms, determine (a) the average impulsive force exerted by a 200-lb man on the belt, (b) the maximum force Fm exerted on the belt if the force-time diagram has the shape shown.arrow_forwardA pilot of mass m flies a jet in a half-vertical loop of radius R so that the speed of the jet, v , remains constant.

- A 5-kg collar A is at rest on top of, but not attached to, a spring with stiffness k1 = 400 N/m when a constant 150-N force is applied to the cable. Knowing A has a speed of 1 m/s when the upper spring is compressed 75 mm, determine the spring stiffness k2 . Ignore friction and the mass of the pulley.arrow_forwardTwo identical spheres A and B each of mass m , are attached to an inextensible inelastic cord of length L and are resting at a distance a from each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. Sphere B is given a velocity v0 in a direction perpendicular to line AB and moves it without friction until it reaches B ’ where the cord becomes taut. Draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine the magnitude of the velocity of each sphere immediately after the cord has become taut.arrow_forwardProve that a force F(x,y,z) is conservative if, and only if, the following relations are satisfied:arrow_forward
- Three spheres, each with a mass of m , can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Spheres A and B are attached to an inextensible, inelastic cord with a length I and are at rest in the position shown when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere C , which is moving with a velocity v0 . Knowing that the cord is taut when sphere B is struck by sphere C and assuming perfectly elastic impact between B and C , and thus the conservation of energy for the entire system, determine the velocity of each sphere immediately after impact.arrow_forwardA 40-Mg boxcar A is moving in a railroad switchyard with a velocity of 9 km/h toward cars B and C , which are both at rest with their brakes off at a short distance from each other. Car B is a 25-Mg flatcar supporting a 30-Mg container, and car C is a 35-Mg boxcar. As the cars hit each other they get automatically and tightly coupled. Determine the velocity of car A immediately after each of the two couplings, assuming that the container (a) does not slide on the flatcar, (b) slides after the first coupling but hits a stop before the second coupling occurs, (c) slides and hits the stop only after the second coupling has occurred.arrow_forwardA 2000-kg automobile starts from rest at point A on a 6° incline and coasts through a distance of 150 m to point B. The brakes are then applied, causing the automobile to come to a stop at point C , which is 20 m from B . Knowing that slipping is impending during the braking period and neglecting air resistance and rolling resistance, determine (a) the speed of the automobile at point B, (b) the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road.arrow_forward
