Question
This is a Dynamics of Rigid Bodies subject.
The figure below shows a 5-kg slider which is released at A and slides along a smooth circular
rod until it reaches point B. The stiffness of the spring, K = 400 N/m and has an un-stretched length
of 750 mm.
a. What is the gravitational potential energy of the slider at B? (Note : Reference datum is at A)
b. What is the change in elastic potential energy of the spring? (Tip : ⧍PE = PE2 - PE1 )
c. What is the velocity of the slider at B? ( Tip : Conservative forces)
