The 40-kg gymnast drops from her maximum height of h = 0.5 m straight down to the bar as shown. Her hands hit the bar and clasp it, and her body remains straight in the position shown. Her center of mass is 0.75 meters away from her hands, and her mass moment of inertia about her center of mass is 7.5 kg·m2. Assuming that friction between the bar and her hands is negligible and that she remains in the same position throughout the swing, determine her angular velocity when she swings around to θ = 135°.

- The sphere of mass m1 = 5 kg falls from a height H = 1.4 m onto the homogeneous board of negligible mass. The board can rotate around a horizontal axis passing through point O, and a body of mass m2 = 3.9 kg is placed on it at a distance b = 1 m from the axis of rotation. The collision is perfectly inelastic. How high does the body of mass m2 rise after the collision (in m) if a = 0.5 m?arrow_forwardThe 100-kg spool is resting on the inclined surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.13. The radius of gyration about the mass center is kG = 0.22 m Determine the angular velocity of the spool, measured clockwise, when t = 7 s after it is released from rest. Express your answer using three significant figures. Enter positive value if the angular velocity is clockwise and negative value if the angular velocity is counterclockwisearrow_forwardThe collar of mass m is released from rest while in position A and subsequently travels with neg- ligible friction along the vertical-plane circular guide. Determine the normal force (magnitude and direction) exerted by the guide on the collar (a) just before the collar passes point B, (b) just after the collar passes point B (i.e., the collar is now on the curved portion of the guide), (c) as the collar passes point C, and (d) just before the collar passes point D. Use the values m = 0.4 kg, R = 1.2 m, and k = 200 N/m. The unstretched length of the spring is 0.8R.arrow_forward
- Each of the two elastic rubber bands of the slingshot has an unstretched length of 200 mm. If they are pulled back to the position shown and released from rest, determine the maximum height the 25-g pellet will reach if it is fired vertically upward. Neglect the mass of the rubber bands and the change in elevation of the pellet while it is constrained by the rubber bands. Each rubber band has a stiffness k = 50 N/m.arrow_forwardThe T-shaped body of total mass m = 6.5 kg is constructed of uniform rod. If it is released from rest while in the position shown, determine the vertical force reaction at O as it passes the vertical position (124° after release). The distance b is 1.04 m.arrow_forwardThe 0.31-kg mass slides on a frictionless wire that lies in the vertical plane. The spring attached to the mass has a free length of 80 mm and stiffness of 0.13 N/mm. Calculate the smallest value of the distance b so that the mass will reach the end of the wire at B after being released from rest at A.arrow_forward
- The cylindrical plug A of mass ma = 3.3 kg is released from rest at B and slides down the smooth circular guide. The plug strikes the block C of mass mc = 3.7 kg and becomes embedded in it. Calculate the distances which the block and plug slide before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is u = 0.42 and the distance r = 1.42 m.arrow_forwardThe slider of mass m is released from rest in position A and slides without friction along the vertical‐plane guide shown. Determine the height h such that the normal force exerted by the guide on the slider is zero as the slider passes point C. For this value of h, determine the normal force as the slider passes point B.arrow_forwardThe homogeneous sphere with mass m is held 1 m above the horizontal plane and rotates with an angular velocity of 30 rad/s clockwise. The sphere is then released and falls impacting the ground below at A. Determine the velocity of the centre of mass of the sphere after it bounces. Assume the ground is rough so no slipping occurs, and the coefficient of restitution is 0.9. Solve all questions using Impulse and Momentum methodsarrow_forward
- The double pulley shown in the figure is formed by two wheels that are coupled to each other. The complete pulley (formed by the two wheels) has a mass of 15 kg and a turning radius of 110mm. Block A has a mass of 40 kg. If a force of 2 kN is applied to the tied rope of the inner pulley wheel, determine the speed of block A after 3 seconds. At the beginning, the whole system was at rest. Disregard the mass of the string and consider that the moment of inertia (kg.m²) of the complete pulley is given by IP = mko²where m is the mass of the pulley and Ko is the radiusspinningarrow_forwardA smooth can C, having a mass of 5 kg, is lifted from a feed at A to a ramp at B by a rotating rod. The rod maintains a constant angular velocity of θ˙ = 0.5 rad/s, Neglect the effects of friction in the calculation and the size of the can so that r=(1.2cosθ)m. The ramp from A to B is circular, having a radius of 600 mm. (a) Determine the magnitude of the force which the rod exerts on the can at the instant θθ = 30∘∘. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardThe two blocks shown are originally at rest. Neglect the masses of the pulleys and the effect of friction in the pulleys and between the blocks and the incline. Consider WA = 206 lb and WB = 306 lb.arrow_forward
