The 2 kg collar is released from rest at point A, as shown below in Figure 2. A spring
the collar and point C as shown in Figure 2. If the shaft running through the collar is
smooth, determine the velocity of the collar when it reaches point B using the principle
of conservation of energy.

QUESTION 3: [25 Marks]
The 40 kg crate rests on a plane inclined = 300 to the ground. The crate is subject to the
time varying force F shown below in Figure 3. If the coefficient of kinetic friction
between the crate and the inclined plane is = 0.2 and the crate has an initial velocity of
2 m/s in the +X direction when t = 0, determine the velocity of the crate after 10 seconds.

4. The slender rod is 1.5 m long and the disk has a radius of 0.6 m. If the collar is moving
towards the ground at 3 m/s when = 450 and the disk rolls without slipping, determine
