Chapter 5, Problem 13P

The velocity v of a falling parachutist is given by

v = g m c ( 1 e ( c / m ) t )

where g = 9.81  m/s 2 . For a parachutist with a drag coefficient c = 15 kg/s, compute the mass m so that the velocity is v = 36  m/s at  t = 10  s . Use the false-position method to determine m to a level of ε s = 0.1 % .

1- Find the velocity i and the position x as functions of the time t for a particle of mass m, which starts from rest at x =0 and t =0, subject to the following force functions: (a) F, = F.+ ct (b) Fx = F, sin ct (c) Fx = F, ed Where F, andc are positive constants.
A cart weighing 0.5 kg is drawn up a smooth 45° incline by a motor, M, winding up a cable. The force in the cable can be expressed as 5t² N, where t is in seconds. When t = 0, the displacement s = 0 and the initial velocity is 3 m/s. Find the cart's velocity when t = 2 seconds. > Draw a very clear FBD of the cart that you can use to write the equations of motion > Write the equations governing the cart's motion along the incline. Use axes parallel and perpendicular to the incline. Find the velocity requested
