- If the track is designed so that the passengers of the roller coaster do not experience a normal force less than 1/2 or more than 3 times their weight, determine the limiting heights hA and hC so that this does not occur. The roller coaster starts from rest at position A. Neglect friction. Please show every single step of the processarrow_forwardThe conveyor belt is moving downward at 5 m/s. If the coefficient of static friction between the conveyor and the 15-kg package Bis * mu_{x} = 0.62 , determine the shortest time the belt can stop so that the package does not slide on the beltarrow_forwardThe coefficient of static friction between the 200-kg crate and the flat bed of the truck is 0.3. Determine the shortest time for the truck to reach a speed of 60 km/h, starting from rest with constant acceleration, so that the crate does not slip.arrow_forward
- The spring has a stiffness k = 200 N>m and is unstretched when the 25-kg block is at A. Determine the acceleration of the block when s = 0.4 m. The contact surface between the block and the plane is smooth.arrow_forwardThe driver attempts to tow the crate using a rope that has a tensile strength of 1 kN. If the crate isoriginally at rest and has a weight of 1,3 kN, determine the greatest acceleration (m/s2) it can have if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the road is μs=0.4, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.3, g=10 m/s2arrow_forwardIf block A has a mass of 2.0 kg, determine the smallest mass of block B without causing motion of the system. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks and inclined planes is μs= 0.26. Answer mist include 2 places after the decimal point and proper units. g=9.81m/s^2.arrow_forward

Determine the cars velocity while travelling at a radius of 34 m, without skiddingarrow_forwardAn inexperienced driver of a front drive car applies too much throttle in an attempt to accelerate from rest up the slippery 10 percent incline. The result is a wheel spin of the tires, each of which have the same gripping ability. Determine the vehicle acceleration for the conditions where the tire on the surface have ux = 0.01.arrow_forward17-47 The four-wheeler has a weight of 335 Ib and a center of gravity at G1, whereas the rider has a weight of 150 lb and a center of gravity at Gz. If the engine can develop enough torque to cause the rear wheels to slip, determine the largest coefficient of static friction between the rear wheels and the ground so that the vehicle will accelerate without tipping over. What is this maximum acceleration? In order to increase the acceleration, should the rider crouch down or sit up straight from the position shown? Explain. The front wheels are free to roll. Neglect the mass of the wheels in thearrow_forward
- The snowmobile has a mass of 200 kg, centered at G1, while the rider has a mass of 80 kg, centered at G2. If h = 0.8 m, determine the snowmobile’s maximum permissible acceleration so that its front skid does not lift off the ground. Also, find the traction (horizontal) force and the normal reaction under the rear tracks at A. Rounding numbers to 2 decimal places at the end.
