- The system shown is initially at rest. Neglecting the masses of the pulleys and the effect of friction in the pulleys, determine (a) the acceleration of each block, and (b) the tension in each cable.arrow_forwardBlocks A and B weigh 25 lb and 10 lb, respectively, and they are both at a height 6 ft above the ground when the system is released from rest. Just before hitting the ground, block A is moving at a speed of 9 ft/s. Determine (a) the amount of energy dissipated in friction by the pulley, (b) the tension in each portion of the cord during the motion.arrow_forwardThe 600-kg bar B, originally at rest, is towed over a series of small rollers. The motor M is drawing in the cable at a rate of v = (0.3 t2) m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the force in the cable when t = 2 sarrow_forward
- 2. The 25-kg box is launched from the position shown along the rough horizontal plane with the velocity of 8 m/s. Determine the distance r that the box will travel before the spring stops the forward motion. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is uk = 0.2, and the spring constant is k = 150 N/m.arrow_forwardThe 0.75-kg bob of a pendulum is fired from rest at position A by a spring which has a stiffness k= 6 kN/m and is compressed 125 mm. Determine the speed of the bob and the tension in thecord when the bob is at positions B and C. Point B is located on the path where the radius ofcurvature is still 0.6 m, i.e., just before the cord becomes horizontalarrow_forwardA constant force of F acts on a mass as shown. The mass starts its motion from rest at position 1, the unstretched lenght of the spring is 250 mm, and the spring modulus is k = 1.5 kN/m. Neglecting the friction, determine the required force F to cause the 2 - kg mass to have a speed of v2 = 1.5 m/s at position 2.arrow_forward

Assuming that the friction between the wall and the carriage is negligible, determine the position h of the rider if the speed v0 = 13 m/s.Reference to Problem 12.51:arrow_forwardA 4-lb collar can slide without friction along a horizontal rod and is in equilibrium at A when it is pushed 1 in. to the right and released from rest. The springs are undeformed when the collar is at A and the constant of each spring is 2800 lb/in. Determine the maximum velocity of the collar.arrow_forward

If the cars meet and couple together, determine the speed of both cars just after the coupling.arrow_forwardA 2404 lb car is moving up a 7 degree incline as shown.
