(a) Explanation Given information: The time ( t ) required to bring the piston rod of an air cylinder to rest is 2 sec. Calculation: Show the a-t curve for the piston rod during the time ( t ) 2 sec as in Figure (1). Take the approximate value for acceleration (- a ) corresponding to time ( t ) from Figure 1. Tabulate the approximate value of acceleration (- a ) as in Table (1). time ( t ) (sec) acceleration ( -a ) ( m/s 2 ) 0 -4 0.25 -2.43 0.50 -1.40 0.75 -0.85 1 -0.50 1.25 -0.28 1.50 -0.13 1.75 -0.06 2 0 Write the expression to calculate the average acceleration ( a ave ) : ( a ave ) i = a i + a f 2 (1) Here, a i is initial acceleration particular time and a f is final acceleration of particular time. Calculate the average acceleration ( a ave ) using equation (1): ( a ave ) 1 = a 0 + a 0.25 2 Here, a 0 is acceleration at time 0 sec and a 0.25 is acceleration at time 0.25 sec. Substitute − 4 m/s 2 for a 0 and − 2.43 m/s 2 for a 0.25 . ( a ave ) 1 = − 4 + ( − 2.43 ) 2 = − 3.215 m/s 2 Similarly calculate the values of average acceleration a ave for different time values. Tabulate the calculated values of average acceleration a ave as in Table (2). time ( t )(sec) acceleration ( -a ) ( m/s 2 ) average acceleration ( a ave ) ( m/s 2 ) 0 -4 0.25 -2.43 -3.215 0.50 -1.40 -1.915 0.75 -0.85 -1.125 1 -0.50 -0.675 1.25 -0.28 -0.390 1.50 -0.13 -0.205 1.75 -0.06 -0.095 2 0 -0.030 Write the expression for calculating the change in velocity ( Δ v ) for specified interval of time ( Δ t ) using the relation: Δ v = a ave Δ t (2) Here, Δ t is change in time. Calculate the change in velocity between the time 0 sec to 0.25 sec. Substitute − 3.215 m/s 2 for a ave and 0.25 sec for Δ t in equation (2). Δ v = − 3.215 × 0.25 = − 0 (b) To determine The distance ( x 2 ) traveled by the piston rod as it is brought to rest.
