Q1.

When at A the bicyclist has a speed of vA = ft/s. If he coasts without pedaling from the top of the hill
at A to the shore of B and then leaps off the shore, determine his speed at Band the distance x where
he strikes the water at C. The rider and his bicycle have a total weight of 150 lb. Neglect the size of
the bicycle and wind resistance.
A.

vB = 35.0 ft/s, x = 41.2 ft

B.

vB = 35.0 ft/s, x = 36.1 ft

C.

vB = 40.1 ft/s, x = 46.5 ft

D.

Q2.

The firing mechanism of a pinball machine consists of a plunger P having a mass of 0.25 kg and a
spring of stiffness k = 300 N/m. When s = 0, the spring is compressed 50 mm. If the arm is pulled
back such that s = 100 mm and released, determine the speed of the 0.3 kg pinball B just before the
plunger strikes the stop, i.e., s = 0. Assume all sufaces of contact to be smooth. The ball moves in the

horizontal plane. Note that the ball slides without rolling.

A.

v = 4.47 m/s

B.

v = 3.30 m/s

C.

v = 2.34 m/s

D.

v = 3.16 m/s

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B
Q3.

The uniform pole has a mass of 15 kg and falls from rest when

= 90 until it strikes the edge

at A,
= 60. If the pole then begins to pivot about this point after contact, determine the pole's
angular velocity just after the impact. Assume that the pole does not slip at B as it falls until it
strikes A.
A.

= 1.146 rad/s

B.

= 0.537 rad/s

C.

= 2.15 rad/s

D.

= 1.528 rad/s
