Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.154P
In order to test the resistance of a chain to impact, the chain is suspended from a 240-lb rigid beam supported by two columns. A rod attached to the last link is then hit by a 60-lb block dropped from a 5-ft height. Determine the initial impulse exerted on the chain and the energy absorbed by the chain, assuming that the block does not rebound from the rod and that the columns supporting the beam are (a) perfectly rigid, (b) equivalent to two perfectly elastic springs.

A test machine that kicks soccer balls has a 5-lb simulated foot attached to the end of a 6-ft long pendulum arm of negligible mass. Knowing that the arm is released from the horizontal position and that the coefficient of restitution between the foot and the 1-lb ball is 0.8, determine the exit velocity of the ball (a) if the ball is stationary, (b) if the ball is struck when it is rolling towards the foot with a velocity of 10 ft/s.

4.A 1.3-lb sphere A is dropped from a
height of 1.8 ft onto 2.6-lb plate B, which
is supported by a nested set of springs
and is initially at rest. Knowing that the
set of springs is equivalent to a single
spring of constant k = 5 lb/in.,
determine the value of the coefficient of
restitution between the sphere and the
plate for which the height h reached by
the sphere after rebound is maximum,
the corresponding value of h, and the
corresponding value of the maximum
deflection of the plate.
After having been pushed by an airline employee, an empty 40-kg luggage carrier A hits with a velocity of 5 m/s an identical carrier B containing a 15-kg suitcase equipped with rollers. The impact causes the suitcase to roll into the left wall of carrier B. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the two carriers is 0.80 and that the coefficient of restitution between the suitcase and the wall of carrier B is 0.30, determine (a) the velocity of carrier B after the suitcase hits its wall for the first time, (b) the total energy lost in that impact.

Knowing one piece reached Point C and the other piece reached point D after the collision, determine (a) the velocity of sphere B after the collision; (b) the angle and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision; and (c) the force exerted by sphere A on B if the collision occurred in 0.001 s.arrow_forward

To design mitigation bridges and barriers, engineers use the coefficient of restitution to model the behavior of the rocks. Rock A falls a distance of 20 m before striking an incline with a slope of α = 40o.

Determine the impulse exerted on the rivet and the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow, knowing that the head of the hammer has a weight of 1.5 lb and that it strikes the rivet with a velocity of 20 ft/s.

Assuming that the piston is moved to the left a distance a 2 and released, and knowing that the pressure on each side of the piston varies inversely with the volume, determine the velocity of the piston as it again reaches the center of the cylinder. Neglect friction between the piston and the cylinder and express your answer in terms of m, a, P and A.arrow_forwardA 0.25-lb ball thrown with a horizontal velocity v0 strikes a 1.5-lb plate attached to a vertical wall at a height of 36 in. above the ground. It is observed that after rebounding, the ball hits the ground at a distance of 24 in. from the wall when the plate is rigidly attached to the wall (Fig. 1) and at a distance of 10 in. when a foam-rubber mat is placed between the plate and the wall (Fig. 2).

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_forward
