A Y2 B Figure 11.19 Problem 11.24 11.24✶✶ Two equal masses m move on a frictionless horizontal table. They are held by three identical taut strings (each of length L, tension 7), as shown in Figure 11.19, so that their equilibrium position is a straight line between the anchors at A and B. The two masses move in the transverse (y) direction, but not in the longitudinal (x) direction. Write down the Lagrangian for small displacements, and find and describe the motion in the corresponding normal modes. [Hint: "Small" displacements have y₁ and y2 much less than L, which means that you can treat the tensions as constant. Therefore the PE of each string is just Td, where d is the amount by which its length has increased from equilibrium.]

Problem 04.096- Resultant Force and Moment of a System of Forces The structure has two frictionless pulleys around which a string is wrapped. If W=56 lb, determine a force system that is equivalent to the forces applied by the string, where this force system consists of a single force, and specify the x coordinate of the point where the force's line of action intersects the x axis.

As a logging truck rounds a bend in the road, some logs come loose and begin to roll without slipping down the mountainside. The mountain slopes upward at 48.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal, and we can model the logs as solid uniform cylinders of mass 575 kgkg and diameter 1.20 mm . Find the acceleration of the logs as they roll down the mountain. What is the friction force on the rolling logs? Is it kinetic or static?
