The 10-lb block rests on a surface for which mk = 0.5. It is

acted upon by a radial force of 2 lb and a horizontal force of
7 lb, always directed at 30 from the tangent to the path as
shown. If the block is initially moving in a circular path with
a speed v1 = 2 ft>s at the instant the forces are applied,
determine the time required before the tension in cord AB
becomes 20 lb. Neglect the size of the block for the
calculation.

An amusement park ride consists of a car which is attached
to the cable OA. The car rotates in a horizontal circular path
and is brought to a speed v1 = 4 ft>s when r = 12 ft. The
cable is then pulled in at the constant rate of 0.5 ft>s.
Determine the speed of the car in 3 s.

A
r

SOLUTION
Conservation of Angular Momentum: Cable OA is shorten by
r = 0.5(3) = 1.50 ft. Thus, at this instant r2 = 12 - 1.50 = 10.5 ft. Since no force
acts on the car along the tangent of the moving path, the angular momentum is
conserved about point O. Applying Eq. 1523, we have
(HO)1 = (HO)2
r1 mv1 = r2 mv
12(m)(4) = 10.5(m) v
