Chapter 15, Problem 15.249RP
Two blocks and a pulley are connected by inextensible cords as shown. The relative velocity of block A with respect to block B is 2.5 ft/s to the left at time t = 0 and 1.25 ft/s to the left when t = 0.25 s. Knowing that the angular acceleration of the pulley is constant, find (a) the relative acceleration of block A with respect to block B, (b) the distance block A moves relative to block B during the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 0.25 s.

The mechanism shown below is used in a distribution center to push boxes along a platform and to a loading area. The input link is driven by an electric motor, which, at the instant shown, has a velocity of 25 rad/s and accelerates at a rate of 450 rad/s2. Knowing that the input link has a length of 250 mm, determine the instantaneous acceleration (m/s2) of the end of the input link in the position shown.
A 1-lb ball A and a 2-lb ball B are mounted on a horizontal rod that rotates freely about a vertical shaft. The balls are held in the positions shown by pins. The pin holding B is suddenly removed and the ball moves to position C as the rod rotates. Neglecting friction and the mass of the rod and knowing that the initial speed of A is vA = 8 ft/s, determine (a) the radial and transverse components of the acceleration of ball B immediately after the pin is removed, (b) the acceleration of ball B relative to the rod at that instant, (c) the speed of ball A after ball B has reached the stop at C.
A radar system is used to track a new experimental space launch vehicle. Early in the vehicle’s flight trajectory, the azimuth angle β is increasing with the constant rate dβ/dt = 20°/s. The elevation angle γ is increasing at the rate dγ/dt = 40°/s, and this rate is increasing at 5°/s2 . Knowing that the distance between O and P is 2 m and that at this instant β = 0° and γ = 30°, determine (a) the angular velocity of the radar system, (b) the angular acceleration of the system, and (c) the velocity and acceleration of point P.
