12.1 Determine the velocity of the 20kg block A after it is released from rest and moves 2 m down the plane. Block B has a mass of 10 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and A is k 0.2. !lso" what is the tension in the cord# Ans$ v 2.%& m's" T 11( )

12.2 Determine the height h to the top of the incline D to which the 200-kg roller coaster car will reach" if it is la*nched at B with a speed +*st s*fficient for it to ro*nd the top of the loop at C witho*t leaving the track. ,he radi*s of c*rvat*re at C is -. 2( m Ans: h &/.( m

12.3 ,he 2(-lb block has an initial speed of v0 10 ft's when it is midway between the springs A and B. !fter striking spring B" it rebo*nds and slides across the hori0ontal s*rface toward spring A" etc. 1f k 0.& between the plane and the block" determine the total distance traveled by the block before it comes to rest. Ans: stotal 2.33 ft

12.4 ,he (0-lb load is hoisted by the p*lley system and the motor M. 1f the motor e4erts a constant force of 20 lb on the cable" determine the power that m*st be s*pplied to the motor if the load has been hoisted s 10 ft starting from rest. ,he motor has an efficiency of 0./%. Ans: 5 1.%2 hp

12.5 ,he collar has a weight of 3 lb. 1f it is released from rest at a height of h 2 ft from the top of the *ncompressed spring" determine the speed of the collar after it falls and compressed the spring 0.2 ft. Ans: v2 11./ ft's

12.6 ,he 2-lb block is given an initial velocity of 20 ft's when it is at A. 1f the spring has an *nstretched length of 2 ft and a stiffness of k 100 lb'ft" determine the velocity of the block when s 1 ft. Ans: vC 16.& ft's

12.7 ,he 2-kg ball of negligible si0e is fired from point ! with an initial velocity of 10 m's *p the smooth slope. Determine the distance from point . to where it hits the hori0ontal s*rface at D. !lso" what is its velocity when it strikes the s*rface# Ans: d 3.(2 m" vD 10 m's
