Concept explainers
Ball B is suspended from a cord of length l attached to cartel, which can roll freely on a frictionless. horizontal track. The ball and the cart have the same mass m. If the cart is given an initial horizontal velocity v0 while the ball is at rest, describe the subsequent motion of the system, specifying the velocities of A and B for the following successive values of the angle

- A small rocket-propelled test vehicle with a total mass of 100kg starts from rest at Aand moves with negligible friction along the track in the vertical plan as shown. If thepropelling rocket exerts a constant thrust T of 1.5kN from A to position B where it is shutoff, determine the distance s which the vehicle rolls up the incline before stopping. Theloss of mass due to the expulsion of gases by the rocket is small and may be neglected.arrow_forwardThe mass m is attached to two equal springs which have bothunstretched length of l. The mass is released from rest at point A.When the mass reaches to point B,a. Determine the velocity of the mass at point B, in terms ofthe parameters m, k, l, h.arrow_forwardThe 6-lb slider is released from rest at position 1 and slides with negligible friction in a vertical plane along the circular rod. The attached spring has a stiffness of 2 lb/in, and has an unstretched length of 24 in. Determine the velocity of the slider as it passes position 2.arrow_forward
- A ball of mass (m) is connected by a light string of length (L) to a frictionless pivot point P and swings as a pendulum as shown in Fig. (1). The ball is released from rest at point A when the string makes an angle of e with vertical. Determine; 1) The velocity of the ball as it passes through point B. 2) The tension TA in the string at A. 3) The tension Te in the string at B.arrow_forwardBlock A of mass mA strikes ball B of mass mB with a speed of vA as shown. Draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine the speeds of A and B after the impact and the impulse during the impact.arrow_forwardThe 2-kg block B and 15-kg cylinder A are connected to a light cord that passes through a hole in the center of the smooth table. If the block is given a speed of v = 10 m/s, determine the radius r of the circular path along which it travels.arrow_forward
- Four 3-kg packages are held in place by friction on a conveyor which is disengaged from its drive motor. When the system is released from rest, package 1 leaves the belt at A just as package 4 comes onto the inclined portion of the belt at B . Determine (a) the velocity of package 2 as it leaves the belt at A, (b) the velocity of package 3 as it leaves the belt at A . Neglect the mass of the belt and rollers.arrow_forwardA block A of 60.0 lb is connected to a block B of 10.0 lb by means of a rope and an ideal pulley. The system is released from rest. Between block A and the surface, there is a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.10. Block A has descended 5.00 ft. At this moment, determine: a. The displacement of block B.b. The magnitude of the tension in the rope.c. The speed of block B.d. The speed of block A.arrow_forwardTwo blocks are joined by an inextensible cable as shown. If the system is released from rest, determine the velocity of block A after it has moved 2m. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the plane is μk = 0.25 and that the pulley is weightless and frictionless.arrow_forward

If they are released from rest in the position shown with end A constrainedby the smooth vertical guide, determine the velocity v with which A reaches O with θessentially zero.arrow_forward(a) Two blocks are joined by an inextensible cable as shown in Figure. If the system is released from rest, determine the velocity of block A after it has moved 2 m by using the data given. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the plane is ?k = 0.25 and that the pulley is weightless and frictionless.arrow_forwardThe monkeys of Prob. 4/8 are now climbing along the heavy rope wall suspended from the uniform beam. If monkeys A, B, and C have velocities of 5, 3, and 2 ft/sec, and accelerations of 1.5, 0.5, and 2 ft/sec2, respectively, determine the changes in the reactions at D and E caused by the motion and weight of the monkeys. The support at E makes contact with only one side of the beam at a time. Assume for this analysis that the rope wall remains rigid. Weight of Monkey A = 20lb Weight of Monkey B = 25lb Weight of Monkey C = 15lbarrow_forward
