- Determine the constant force “f” w/c must be applied to the cord in order to cause the 39lb block to have a speed of 22 ft/a when it has been displaced 0.5 ft upward starting from the rest.arrow_forwardDetermine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on a 5-kg particle at the instant t = 2 s, if the particle is moving along a horizontal path defined by the equations r = (2t + 10) m and theta = (1.5t^2 - 6t) rad, where t is in seconds.arrow_forwardA plow located on the front of a locomotive scoops up snow at the rate of 10 ft^3/s and stores it in the train. If the locomotive is traveling at a constant speed of 12 ft/s, determine the resistance to motion caused by the shoveling. The specific weight of snow is gs = 6 lb/ft^3arrow_forward
- The cone falling with a speed v0 = 2 m/s strikes and penetrates the block of packing material. The acceleration of the cone after impact is a = g − cy2 where g is acceleration of gravity, c is a positive constant and y is the penetration distance. If the maximum penetration depth is observed to be ym = 0.10 m determine the constant c in 1/ms2.arrow_forwardThe crate, which has a mass of 160 kg, is subjected to the action of the two forces. If it is originally at rest, determine the distance it slides in order to attain a speed of 7 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is μk = 0.2.arrow_forwardThe water sprinkler, positioned at the base of the hill, releases a stream of water with a velocity of 25 ft/s at 50 degrees with respect tothe horizontal. Determine the point B(x,y) where the water strikes the ground on the hill. Assume that the hill is defined by the equation y = 0.09x^2 feet and neglect the size of sprinkler.arrow_forward
- If the 10-g bullet is traveling at 310 m/s when it becomes embedded in the 11-kg block, determine the distance the block will slide up along the plane before momentarily stopping.arrow_forwardIf the contact surface between the 30-kg block and the ground is smooth, determine the power of force F if block reaches speed of 3.2 m/s when t = 4 s. Initially, the block is at rest.arrow_forwardShow that the girl at A can throw the ball to the boy at B by launching it at equal angles measured up or down from a 45° inclination. If VA = 10 m/s, determine the range R if this value is 15°, i.e., θ1 = 45° -15° = 30° and θ2 = 45° + 15° = 60°. Assume the ball is caught at the same elevation from which it is thrown.arrow_forward
- The water sprinkler, positioned at the base of the hill, releases a stream of water with a velocity of 25 ft/s at 50 degrees with respect tothe horizontal. Determine the point B(x,y) where the water strikes the ground on the hill. Assume that the hill is defined by the equation y = 0.09x^2feet and neglect the size of sprinkler.arrow_forwardAn airplane has a mass of 25 Mg and its engines develop a total thrust of 40 kN during take-off. If the drag D exerted on the plane has a magnitude D= 2.25 v2, where is expressed in meters per second and D in newtons, and if the plane becomes airborne at a speed of 240 km/h, determine the length of runway required for the plane to take off.arrow_forwardA nozzle discharges 2cfs with a velocity of 50ft per sec.The nozzle is inclined downward so that as the jet strikes a fixed curved vane it is is directed 30 degrees down from the horizontal. The jet is deflected upward 90 degrees, making an angle of 60degrees with the horizontal as it leaves the vane. Determine the x and y components ofthe force exerted.arrow_forward
