SECTION A (Total: 60 marks)
INSTRUCTION: Answer ALL Questions.
Please use the answer booklet provided.
Question 1
Staring from rest, a particle moving in a straight line has an acceleration of
a=(4t-8)mis, where + is in seconds. What is the particle's velocity when 7 = 4s,
and what is its position when ¢ = 9s?
(20 marks)
Question 2
‘The parts in an assembly line are thrown off the conveyor with a horizontal velocity of 3
mis as shown in Figure 1. Determine the time needed for the parts to hit the lower level
at B and the range R where they begin to pile up.

Question 3
At the instant shown in Figure 2 cars A and B are traveling at speeds of 32 m/s and 20
mis respectively. if B is decreasing its speed at 12 m/s”, while A is increasing its speed
at 8 mis’, determine the acceleration of B with respect to A. Car B moves along a curve
having a radius of curvature of 100 m.

SECTION B (Total: 40 marks)
INSTRUCTION: Answer only TWO (2) questions.
Please use the answer booklet provided.
Question 1
The 6 kg block has an initial velocity of 4 mis on the smooth plane. If a force
P=(2.40N, where t is in seconds, acts on the block for 3 s, determine the final
velocity of the block and the distance the block travels during this time.

Question 2
“The 20 kg crate shown in Figure 4 is acted upon by a force having a variable magnitude
P =(1000)NV, where £ is in seconds. Determine the crate’s velocity 2s after P has been
applied. The initial velocity is Im/s down the plane, and the coefficient of kinetic friction
between the crate and the plane is 0.32.

Question 3
‘The 32 kg disk shown in Figure 5 is pinned at its centre. Determine the number of
revolutions it must take to attain an angular velocity of 22 rad/s starting from rest. It is
acted upon by a constant force F = 12 N, which is applied to a cord wrapped around its
periphery, and @ constant couple moment M = 6 Nm. Neglect the mass of the cord.
