Problem 1
A 18 m/s , a A 2 m/s 2
B 12 m/s , a B 3 m/s 2
Problem 2
Determine the speed of
block A in the Fig. if block B
has an upward speed of 6
ft/s.
Problem 3
Problem 4
Determine the speed of
block B in the Fig. if the
end of the cord at A is
pulled down with a speed
of 2m/s
Problem 5
A man at A is hoisting a safe
A as shown by walking to the
right with a constant velocity
vA = 0.5 m/sec.
Determine the velocity and
acceleration of the safe when
it reaches the elevation of
10m.
Cord =30 m
Problem 6
Pulley D is attached to a
collar which is pulled down at
3 in./s. At t = 0, collar A
starts moving down from K
with constant acceleration
and zero initial velocity.
Knowing that velocity of
collar A is 12 in./s as it
passes L:
Determine the change in
elevation, velocity, and
acceleration of block B when
block A is at L.
Problem 7
The slotted fork is rotating about O at a
constant rate of 3 rad/s.
Determine the radial and transverse
components of velocity and acceleration of
the pin A at the instant q = 360o.
The path is defined by the spiral groove r =
(5+q/p) in., where q is in radians.
Problem 8
Due to the rotation of the forked
rod, the ball travels around the
slotted path a portion of which is in
the shape of a cardioid r = 0.5(1 cosq) ft where q in radian s. If the
balls velocity is v=4ft/s and its
acceleration a=30 ft /s2 at the
instant q = 180:
Determine the angular velocity and
angular acceleration of the fork.
r 0.5(1 cos q ) ft
v 4 ft/s
a 30 ft/s 2
at q 180o
find q and q
Problem 9
A collar slides along the smooth
vertical spiral rod, r = (2q) m, where
q is in radians. If its angular rate of
rotation is constant and equal 4
rad/s, at the instant q = 90o.
Determine
- The collar radial and transverse
component of velocity
- The collar radial and transverse
component of acceleration.
- The magnitude of velocity and
acceleration
