Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.114P
The trapeze/lanyard air drop (t/LAD) launch is a proposed innovative method for airborne launch of a payload-carrying rocket. The release sequence involves several steps as shown in (1), where the payload rocket is shown at various instances during the launch. To investigate the first step of this process, where the rocket body drops freely from the carrier aircraft until the 2-m lanyard stops the vertical motion of B, a trial rocket is tested as shown in (2). The rocket can be considered a uniform 1 × 7-m rectangle with a mass of 4000 kg. Knowing that the rocket is released from rest and falls vertically 2 m before the lanyard becomes taut, determine the angular velocity of the rocket immediately after the lanyard is taut.

In Prob. 13.109, a space vehicle was in a circular orbit at an altitude of 225 mi above the surface of the earth. To return to earth it decreased its speed as it passed through A by firing its engine for a short interval of time in a direction opposite to the direction of its motion. Its resulting velocity as it reached point B at an altitude of 40 mi formed an angle fB = 60° with the vertical. An alternative strategy for taking the space vehicle out of its circular orbit would be to turn it around so that its engine pointed away from the earth and then give it an incremental velocity DvA toward the center O of the earth. This would likely require a smaller expenditure of energy when firing the engine at A, but might result in too fast a descent at B. Assuming that this strategy is used, use computational software to determine the values of fB and vB for an energy expenditure ranging from 5 to 100 percent of that needed in Prob. 13.109. 13.109. A space vehicle is in a circular…
10.0-kg chimpanzee in severe danger, so he swings to the rescue. He adjusts his strong, but very light, vine so that he will first come to rest 5.0 s after beginning his swing, at which time his vine makes a 10.0° angle with the vertical. (a) How long is Mowgli’s vine, assuming that he swings at the bottom end of it? (b) Just as he passes through the lowest point in his swing, Mowgli nabs the chimp from the ground and sweeps him out of the jaws of danger. If Mowgli’s mass is 40.0 kg, determine his speed just before he grabs the chimpanzee.
Two beads of mass m are initially at rest at the top of a frictionless hoop of mass M and radius R, which stands vertically on the ground. The beads, being strung on the hoop, are constrained to move along the hoop’s circular path. The beads are given tiny kicks, and they slide down the hoop, one to the right and one to the left. What is the largest value of m/M for which the hoop never rises up off the ground? (Given a sufficiently large ratio of m/M the normal force of the beads on the hoop can indeed cause it to jump off of the ground!) Some thoughts/hints about this problem:(a) It is important to think about the direction of the Normal force as the beads move around the hoop. The hoop is exerting a normal force on the beads which are constraining them to stay on the wire as they move around the hoop. The beads are also exerting a normal force on the hoop which is what will make the hoop jump.(b) What happens to the direction of the normal force exerted by the hoop on the beads as…

- DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN.PLEASE WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS CORRECTLY AND LEGIBLY. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. BOX THE FINAL ANSWER. Two blocks A and B of the same mass 1.69 kg are released from rest on a 23° incline when they are S = 12.8 m apart, as shown. The coefficient of friction under the upper block A is 0.2, and that under the lower block B is 0.35. Compute the elapsed time (in seconds) until the blocks touch each other. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardRock falls can cause major damage to roads and infrastructure. To design mitigation bridges and barriers, engineers use the coefficient of restitution to model the behavior of the rocks. Rock A falls a distance of 20 m before striking an incline with a slope of α = 40o. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between rock A and the incline is 0.2, determine the velocity of the rock right after the impact, both magnitude and angle with respect to the horizontal.arrow_forwardFor a technology project, a student has built a vehicle, of total mass 6.00 kg, that moves itself. As shown, it runs on four light wheels. A reel is attached to one of the axles, and a cord originally wound on the reel goes up over a pulley attached to the vehicle to support an elevated load. After the vehicle is released from rest, the load descends very slowly, unwinding the cord to turn the axle and make the vehicle move forward (to the left as shown). Friction is negligible in the pulley and axle bearings. The wheels do not slip on the floor. The reel has been constructed with a conical shape so that the load descends at a constant low speed while the vehicle moves horizontally across the floor with constant acceleration, reaching a final velocity of 3.00î m/s. (a) Does the floor impart impulse to the vehicle? If so, how much? (b) Does the floor do work on the vehicle? If so, how much?
