- During a manufacturing process, a conveyor belt starts from rest and travels a total of 1.2 ft before temporarily coming to rest. Knowing that the jerk, or rate of change of acceleration, is limited to ±4.8 ft/s2 per second, determine (a) the shortest time required for the belt to move 1.2 ft, (b) the maximum and average values of the velocity of the belt during that time.arrow_forwardEach of the systems shown is initially at rest. Neglecting axle friction and the masses of the pulleys, determine for each system (a) the acceleration of block A, (b) the velocity of block A after it has moved through 10 ft, (c) the time required for block A to reach a velocity of 20 ft/s.arrow_forwardHuman centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots. When aerospace physiologists say that a pilot is pulling 9 g,s , they mean that the resultant normal force on the pilot from the bottom of the seat is nine times their weight. Knowing that the centrifuge starts from rest and has a constant angular acceleration of 1.5 RPM per second until the pilot is pulling 9 g's and then continues with a constant angular velocity, determine (a) how long it will take for the pilot to reach 9 g's (b) the angle 0 of the normal force once the pilot reaches 9 g’s. Assume that the force parallel to the seat is zero.arrow_forward

Knowing that her speed continues to increase at the same rate until it reaches 69.94 mph at point C, determine themagnitude of the tangential acceleration (ft/s2) from A to B. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardIn the design of a timing mechanism, the motion of pin P in the fixed circular slot is controlled by the guide A, which is being elevated by its lead screw. Guide A starts from rest with pin P at the lowest point in the circular slot, and accelerates upward at a constant rate until it reaches a speed of 130 mm/s at the halfway point of its vertical displacement. The guide then decelerates at a constant rate and comes to a stop with pin P at the uppermost point in the circular slot. Determine the n- and t-components of acceleration of pin P once the pin has traveled 29° around the slot from the starting position. Please solve step by steparrow_forward

It has been used in a number of different internal combustion engines and in control valves. In the Scotch yoke shown, the acceleration of point A is defined by the relation a = -1.8 sin kt, where a and t are expressed in m/s2 and seconds, respectively, and k = 3 rad/s.
