Chapter 16.1, Problem 16.60P
16.60 and 16.61 The 400-lb crate shown is lowered by means of two overhead cranes. Knowing that at the instant shown the deceleration of cable A is 3 ft/s2 and that of cable B is 1 ft/s2, determine the tension in each cable.

Greek engineers had the unenviable task of moving large columns from the quarries to the city. One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4-ft diameter column weighs 12,000 lbs, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500 lbs on the center of the cylinder G. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the minimum static coefficient of friction that will keep it from slipping.
Using two ropes and a roller chute, two workers are unloading a 200-lb cast-iron counterweight from a truck. Knowing that at the instant shown the counterweight is kept from moving and that the positions of points A, B, and C are, respectively, A(0, –20 in., 40 in.), B(–40 in., 50 in., 0), and C(45 in., 40 in., 0), and assuming that no friction exists between the counterweight and the chute, determine the tension in each rope. (Hint: Because there is no friction, the force exerted by the chute on the counterweight must be perpendicular to the chute.)
A thin circular rod is supported in a vertical plane by a bracket at A. Attached to the bracket and loosely wound around the rod is a spring of constant k= 3 lb/ft and undeformed length equal to the arc of circle AB. An 8-oz collar C , not attached to the spring, can slide without friction along the rod. Knowing that the collar is released from rest at an angle 0 with the vertical, determine (a) the smallest value of 0 for which the collar will pass through D and reach point A, (b) the velocity of the collar as it reaches point A.
