- ! Required information Channel AB is fixed in space, and its centerline lies in the xy plane. The plane containing edges AC and AD of the channel is parallel to the xz plane. The surfaces of the channel are frictionless and the sphere E has 1.6 kg mass. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. N J N D 30° + E 30° X F A 30° 20° B Determine the force supported by cord EF, and the reactions RC and Rp between the sphere and sides C and D, respectively, of the channel. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.) The force supported by cord EF is N. The reactions Rcand Rp between the sphere and sides C and D, respectively, of the channel are as follows: RC= RD= Zarrow_forwardSeat belts and air bags save lives by reducing forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by the seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm. A 55 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 23.0 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys. Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is NOT restained by a seat belt and air bag.arrow_forwardBased on observations made during the 1996 sighting of comet Hyakutake, it was concluded that the trajectory of the comet is a highly elongated ellipse for which the eccentricity is approximately ε = 0.999887. Knowing that for the 1996 sighting the minimum distance between the comet and the sun was 0.230 RE where RE is the mean distance from the sun to the earth, determine the periodic time of the comet.arrow_forward
- The new position is r = 6867.3(xhat) + 398.8(yhat). The answer to the first problem would be theta = arctan(398.8/6867.3) = 0.058 degrees. But how do you know how much the line of nodes, which is the new position as show in the diagram, should have rotated for a true sun-synchronoous orbit? What is the formula? What are some reasons why there would be any discrepancy between the estimated angle and the actual angle?arrow_forwardThe 44-kg block shown in Fig. rests on a smooth plane.

- A satellite is to travel from the Earth to Mars using a Hohmann transfer. 1. Calculate the semi-major axis of the transfer orbit. Using the Vis-Viva equation compute the heliocentric velocity of the satellite as it reaches Mars. 2. The spacecraft is adjusted so that it will pass within $300$ $km$ of the surface of Mars just behind of it in its orbit. Calculate the eccentricity of the hyperbolic passage and hence the half turn angle $\delta$. **[20 points]** 3. The approach of the spacecraft is on the sunward side of Mars. Compute the heliocentric velocity of the spacecraft when it exits Mars' sphere of influence. 4. A Hohmann transfer requires a long transfer time. Propose a method to reduce the transfer time to reach Mars and outline the procedure that you would use to compute the radial and transverse velocity at Mars arrival.
