- It takes 35 seconds for the 50-Mg tugboat to increase its speed uniformly to 25km/h, starting from rest. The barge has a mass of 75 Mg. The propeller provides the propulsionforce F which gives the tugboat forward motion, whereas the barge moves freely. Determine theforce of the rope on the tugboat.arrow_forwardThe 1.5-lb collar slides with negligible friction on the fixed rod in the vertical plane. If the collar starts from rest at A under the action of the constant 2-lb horizontal force, calculate its velocity v as it hits the stop at B.arrow_forwardThe 1.9-kg slider is released from rest in position A and slides without friction along the vertical-plane guide. Determine the normal force exerted by the guide on the slider (a) just before it passes point C, (b) just after it passes point C, and (c) just before it passes point E. The normal forces are positive if they point up and/or to the left, negative if they point down and/or to the right.arrow_forward
- Block A has a mass mA and is attached to a spring having a stiffness k and unstretched length l0. If another block B, having a mass mB, is pressed against A so that the spring deforms a distance d, determine the distance both blocks slide on the smooth surface before they begin to separate. What is their velocity at this instant?arrow_forwardThe 4,450kg truck is traveling at 30.50m/s when the brakes on all its wheels are applied, causing it to skid for a distance of 22m before coming to rest. Calculate the constant horizontal force developed in the coupling C, as well as the frictional force developed between the tires of the truck and the road during this time. The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 2,250kgarrow_forwardEach of the two elastic rubber bands of the slingshot has an unstretched length of 200 mm. If they are pulled back to the position shown and released from rest, determine the maximum height the 25-g pellet will reach if it is fired vertically upward. Neglect the mass of the rubber bands and the change in elevation of the pellet while it is constrained by the rubber bands. Each rubber band has a stiffness k = 50 N/m.arrow_forward
- It takes 33 s for the 48-Mg tugboat to increase its speed uniformly to 25 km/h, starting from rest. The propeller provides the propulsion force F which gives the tugboat forward motion, whereas the barge moves freely. The barge has a mass of 80 Mg.arrow_forwardThe boy of mass 42 kg is sliding down the spiral slide at a constant speed such that his position, measured from the top of the chute, has components r = 1.5 m, θ=(0.7t)rad, and z=(−0.5t)m, where t is in seconds. Neglect the size of the boy Determine the r, θ, z components of force F which the slide exerts on him at the instant t = 2 s using scalar notationarrow_forwardWhen the 75 kg skier is at point A, she has a speed of 1.5m/s. Neglecting frictionand air resistance, and using a cosine curve for the slope (as shown in the figure):(a) Determine her speed when she reaches point B on the smooth slope.(b) What is the normal force on her skis at B, and her rate of increase in speed?arrow_forward
- The 4-kg box slides on the smooth surface and has a velocity of 15 m/s. If it strikes the smooth plate, which has a weight of 2 kg and is held in position by an unstretched spring of stiffness k = 600 N/m, determine the maximum compression imparted to the spring. Take e = 0.7 between the box and the plate.arrow_forwardThe 10-lb collar starts from rest at A and is lifted by applying a constant vertical force of F = 25 lb to the cord. Part A: If the rod is smooth, determine the power developed by the force at the instant θ = 60 degressarrow_forwardThe roller coaster car has a mass of 700 kg, including its passenger. If it starts from the top of the hill A with a speed v A = 3 m/s, determine the minimum height h of the hill crest so that the car travels around the inside loops without leaving the track. Neglect friction, the mass of the wheels, and the size of the car. What is the normal reaction on the car when the car is at B1. find the Max g-force on passenger, bank angle2. the force required to slow down the motion and the time the force is applied must be determined to bring the coaster to rest.3.
