1. (Use Normal-Tangential Coordinate System)

A 13.345 N block, initially at rest at point A, slides along

the smooth parabolic surface. Determine the normal 122 cm
force acting on the block when it reaches B. Neglect the
size of the block.

2. (Use Polar Coordinate System)

The 226.72 gr block B shown in Figure slides along the

rotating bar OA. The coefficient of kinetic friction m
1c
between B and OA is µk = 0.2. In the position shown, .58

R=61 cm/s, θ= 5rad/s and θ= 3 rad/s2. R=
For this position, determine R , the acceleration of B
relative to bar OA.

3. The 226.72 gr ball is guided along the vertical

circular path r= 2rc cosq using the arm 0A.
If the arm has an angular velocity q = 0.4 rad/s and
an angular acceleration q= 0. 8 rad/s2 at the instant
q = 30° determine the force of the arm on the ball.
Neglect friction and the size of the ball.
Set rc = 0.122 m.

4. (Use Energy Methods)
A 4.448 N collar is attached to a spring and
slides without friction along a circular rod in a
vertical plane. The spring has an undeformed
length of 12.70 cm and a constant k=145.938 N/
m. Knowing that the collar is released from being 12.
7cm

held at A, determine: 17.78cm

a. the speed vB of the collar and

b. the normal force between the collar and the
rod as the collar passes through B.

5.(Use Impulse-Momentum Methods) The

log has a mass of 500 kg and rests on the
ground for which the coefficient of static
and kinetic friction are µs =0.5 and µk =0.4 ,
respectively. The winch delivers a horizontal
towing force T to its cable at A which varies
as shown in the graph.
Determine the speed of the log when t = 5 s.
Originally, the tension in the cable is zero.

6. Principle of Work and Energy (PWE) is established by integrating the equation

of motion with respect to ___________
a) time
b) displacement
c) velocity
d) None of the above.

7. List three possible methods of determining the linear impulse of a particle.

Support your answer with equations and plots.

8. Block A of mass m is moving down along the vertical, curved,

rough path (kinetic coefficient of friction = mk). The attached Spring
restricts the motion and, due to the roller guide, always remains
horizontal as the block descends. Draw the FBD and the kinetic
diagram separately using rectangular and n-t coordinate system and
indicate the appropriate coordinates in both diagrams.
Present your work in the template provided on figure.
