CHAPTER 1.0: KINEMATIC OF PARTICLES 1.

A train which is travelling at 130 km/h applies its brakes as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its decreased velocity is observed to be 96 km/h as it passes a point 0.8 km beyond A. A car moving at 80 km/h passes point B at the same instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the train to the crossing, the driver steps on the gas. Calculate the constant acceleration that the car must have in order to beat the train to the crossing by 4 seconds and find the velocity of the car as it reaches the crossing.

2. The muzzle velocity of a long-range rifleat A is u = 400 m/s. Determine the two angles of elevation which will permit the projectile to hit the mountain target B. Ans: 1 = 26.1o , 2 = 80.6o

3. The pin P is constrained to move in the slotted guides which move at right angles to one another. At the instant represented, A has a velocity to the right of 0.2 m/s which is decreasing at the rate of 0.75 m/s each second. At the same time, B is moving down with a velocity of 0.15 m/s which is decreasing at the rate of 0.5 m/s each second. For this instant determine the radius of curvature of the path followed by P. Is it possible to determine also the time rate of change of ? Ans: = 1.25 m

4. The slider P can be moved inward by means of the string S as the bar OA rotates about the pivot O. The angular position of the bar is given by = 0.4 + 0.12t + 0.06t3, where is in radians and t is in seconds. The position of the slider is given by r = 0.8 0.1t 0.05t2. where r is in meters and t is in seconds. Determine and sketch the velocity and acceleration of the slider at time t = 2 s. Find the angles and which v and a make with the positive x-axis. Ans: = 195.9o , = -86.4o

5. Car A negotiates a curve of 60 m radius at a constant speed of 50 km/h. When A passes the position shown, car B is 30 m from the intersection and is accelerating south toward the intersection at the rate of 1.5 m/s2. Determine the acceleration which A appears to have when observed by an occupant of B at this instant. Ans: A/B = 4.58 m/s2, = 20.6o west of north

CHAPTER 2.0: KINETIC OF PARTICLES 1. If the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the 20 kg block A and the 100 kg cart B are both essentially the same value of 0.50, determine the acceleration of each part for (a) P = 60 N and (b) P = 40 N. Ans: (a) A = 1.095 m/s2 , B = 0.981 m/s2 (b) A = B = 0.667 m/s2

2. Beginning from rest when = 20o, a 35 kg child slides with negligible friction down the sliding board which is in the shape of a 2.5 m circular arc. Determine the tangential acceleration and speed of the child, and the normal force exerted on her (a) when = 30o and (b) when = 90o. Ans: (a) t = 8.50 m/s2 , v = 2.78 m/s, N = 280 N (b) t = 0, v = 5.68 m/s, N = 795 N

3. The 0.8 kg collar slides freely on the fixed circular rod. Calculate the velocity v of the collar as it hits the stop at B if it is elevated fro rest at A by the action of the constant 40 N force in the cord. The cord is guided by he small fixed pulleys.

4. In the selection of the ram of a pile driver, it is desired that the ram lose all of its kinetic energy at each blow. Hence, the velocity of the ram is zero immediately after impact. The mass of each pile to be driven is 300 kg, and experience has shown that a coefficient of restitution of 0.3 can be expected. What should be the mass m of the ram? Compute the velocity v of the pile immediately after impact if the ram is dropped from a height of 4 m onto the pile. Also compute the energy loss E due to impact at each blow. Ans: m = 90 kg, v = 2.66 m/s, E = 2470 J

5. During a pregame warmup period, two basketballs collide above the hoop when in the positions shown. Just before impact, ball 1 has a velocity v1 which makes a 300 angle with the horizontal. If the velocity v2 of ball 2 just before impact has the same magnitude as velocity v1, determine the two possible values of the angle , measured from the horizontal, which will cause ball 1 to go directly through the center of the basket. The coefficient of restitution is e = 0.8. Ans: = 82.3o or = -22.3o
