- The 5-kg collar A slides with negligible friction on the fixed vertical shaft. When the collar is released from rest at the bottom position shown, it moves up the shaft under the action of the constant force F=180 N applied to the cable. Determine the stiffness k which the spring must have if its maximum compression is to be limited to s= 70 mm. The position of the small pulley at B is fixed. Take , h = 450 mm and b = 230 mm . (Use the Work-Energy Equation).arrow_forwardThe 20-kg block A rests on the 2-kg pan B. Both are supported by a spring having a stiffness k of 3 N/m that is attached to the bottom of the pan and to the ground. Determine the distance d the pan should be pushed down from the equilibrium position and then released from rest so that separation of the block will take place from the surface of the pan at the instant the spring becomes unstretched. Please show complete solution with FBD.arrow_forwardThe spring constants are k1 = 140N / m, k2 = 240N / m and the unstretched lengths of the springs are 0.3 m. If the 6 kg ring is released from rest from point A, calculate its velocity when it reaches point B. According to the given datum line, the total potential energy (Ve) at point A is A = 1116.86 J and the total elastic potential energy (Ve) at point B is B = 370.8 J. Neglect the dimensions of the bracelet. (L1 = 0.90 m, L2 = 1.80 m, h1 = 1.20 m and h2 = 2.40 m)arrow_forward

Determine the constant k of the spring. Note: The normal of the collar is 100 times its mass (that of the collar), remember that g = 32.16 ft/s2.arrow_forwardThe force P is applied to the 38-kg block when it is at rest. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force exerted by the surface on the block if (a) P = 0, (b) P = 143 N, and (c) P = 208 N. (d) What value of P is required to initiate motion up the incline? The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the block and the incline are μs = 0.23 and μk = 0.20, respectively. The friction force is positive if up the incline, negative if down the incline.arrow_forwardAlight train made of two cars travels at 72 km/h. The mass of car Ais 18 Mg and the mass of car 8is 13 Mg.

The box has a velocity v = 15 ft/s when it is 2 ft from the plate. a) If the box strikes the smooth plate, which has a weight of 22 lb and is held in position by an unstretched spring of stiffness k = 440 lb/ft, determine the maximum compression imparted to the spring.

To stop the car, the front end horizontally deforms 0.2 m. If the car is free to roll during the collision, determine the average horizontal force causing the deformationarrow_forwardA train consists of a 5000 Kg engine and three cars, each having a mass of 3000 Kg. If it takes 10s for the train to increase its speed uniformly to 40 km/h, starting from rest, determine the force T developed at the coupling between the engine E and the first car A. The wheels of the engine provide a resultant frictional tractive force F which gives the train forward motion, whereas the car wheels roll freely. Also, determine F acting on the engine wheels.arrow_forward
