3-142: The system is released from rest with the spring initially b
stretched 3 in. Calculate the velocity v of the cylinder after it has
dropped 0.5 in. The spring has a stiffness of 6 lb/in. Neglect the mass of

stretched 3 in. Calculate the velocity v of the cylinder after it has
dropped 0.5 in. The spring has a stiffness of 6 lb/in. Neglect the mass of
the small pulley.

3-162: When the mechanism is released from rest in the position where θ =
60 degrees, the 4-kg carriage drops and the 6-kg sphere rises. Determine
the velocity v of the sphere when θ = 180 degrees. Neglect the mass of the
3-162: When the mechanism is released from rest in the position where θ =
60 degrees, the 4-kg carriage drops and the 6-kg sphere rises. Determine
the velocity v of the sphere when θ = 180 degrees. Neglect the mass of the
links and treat the sphere as a particle.

3-322: The simple 2-kg pendulum is released from rest in the horizontal
position. As it reaches the bottom position, the cord wraps around the smooth
fixed pin at B and continues in the smaller arc in the vertical plane. Calculate

position. As it reaches the bottom position, the cord wraps around the smooth
fixed pin at B and continues in the smaller arc in the vertical plane. Calculate
the magnitude of the force R supported by the pin at B when the pendulum
passes the position θ = 30 degrees.
