Kinetics of Particle

Lecture 8: Tuesday, 9/15/15

Today’s Objective
Kinetics of rectilinear motion
 What is Kinetics?
• Kinetics is the study of the relations between
unbalanced forces and the resulting changes in
motion.

Solution Methods for kinetics problems:

• (A) direct application of Newton's second law (called the force-
mass-acceleration method),
• (B) use of work and energy principles, and

• (C) solution by impulse and momentum methods

Problem 3/1 : The 50-kg crate is projected along the floor with
an initial speed of 7 m/s at x = 0. The coefficient of kinetic friction is
0.40. Calculate the time required for the crate to come to rest and the
corresponding distance x travelled.
 Problem 3/35
Given: The nonlinear spring has a tensile force-deflection relationship given
by: , where x is in meters and is in newtons. Determine the
acceleration of the 6-kg block if it is released from rest at x = 100 mm

 Problem 3/50
The 4-oz slider has a speed v = 3 ft/s as it passes point A of the smooth guide,
which lies in a horizontal plane. Determine the magnitude R of the force
which the guide exerts on the slider.
a. Just before it passes point A of the guide
b. As it passes point B.
 Problem 3/53
•made
The hollow tube is pivoted about a horizontal axis through point O and is
  to rotate in the vertical plane with a constant ccw angular velocity of 3
rad/s. If a 0.2 lb particle is sliding in the tube toward O with a velocity of 4 ft/s
relative to the tube when the = 300 is passed, calculate the normal force
exerted by the wall of the tube on the particle at this instant.
