(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.

2. The horizontal rod OA rotates about a vertical shaft according to the relation 6 = 3t°, where 0 and t are expressed in rad/s and seconds, respectively. A 500 g collar B is held by a cord with a breaking strength of 37 N. Neglecting friction, determine, immediately after the cord breaks: a. How long it takes for the cord to break b. The relative acceleration of the collar with respect to the rod. c. The magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the collar by the rod. Note: the horizontal force corresponds to ég direction d. When the collar breaks free from its initial position of 0.5 m and hits the stop at A which is 0.62 m from point O, calculate the angular velocity [rad/s] at this state. *Use initial angular velocity from when cord broke in order to solve for final angular velocity using conversation of angular momentum. 0.5 m

SAMPLE PROBLEM A motorist is traveling on a curved section of highway of radius 2500 ft at the speed of 60 mi/h. The motorist suddenly applies the brakes, causing the automobile to slow down at a constant rate. Knowing that after 8 s the speed has been reduced to 45 mi/h, determine the acceleration of the automobile immediately after the brakes have been applied. V= 60 mi /h 2500 ft
