Concept explainers
A loading car is at rest on a track forming an angle of 25° with the vertical when a force is applied to the cable attached at C. The gross weight of the car and its load is 5500 lb, and it acts at point G. Knowing the tension in the cable connected at C is 5000 lb, determine (a) the acceleration of the car, (b) the distance the car moves in 20 s, (c) the time it takes for the car to return to its original position if the cable breaks after 20 s.

- The sliders A and B are connected by a light rigid bar and move with negligible friction in the slots, both of which lie in a vertical plane. For the position shown, the hydraulic cylinder imparts a velocity and acceleration to slider A of 0.4 m/s and 2 m/s, 3 kg 05 m respectively, both to the right. Determine the acceleration of slider B and the force in the 60 bar at this instant. Fig.P2arrow_forward1. The system before consists of blocks A and B that are connected by an inextensible cable running around two pulleys. If the system is released from rest, determine the (a) direction of motion of the system (b) the kinematic relationships between block A and block B (c) acceleration of each block and (d) the tension exerted on block A.

Neglecting the masses of the pulleys and the effect of friction in the pulleys and knowing that the coefficients of friction between the blocks and the inclines are us = 0.25 and uk = 0.2, determine (a) the acceleration of each block, (b) the tension in the cable. 200 lb A 90° 20° 300 lb Barrow_forward

If the radius of curvature of the path at B is 1.5 m, and the coefficient of friction between the block and path is 0.3, determine (a) the normal force exerted on the block by the path at B, and (b) the rate of change of speed at this point.

Neglecting the effect of friction, determine (a) the time at which the velocity of collar B will be 2.5 m/s to the left, (b) the corresponding tension in the cable.arrow_forward* Incorrect A 2.9-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to have a speed of 8.0 ft/sec as it passes position B, determine (a) the magnitude N of the force exerted by the fixed rod on the slider and (b) the rate at which the speed of the slider is changing (positive if speeding up, negative if slowing down). Assume that friction is negligible. 3.1' ACO Answers: N = v= i -0.848 -16.73 lb ft/sec²arrow_forward

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 marrow_forward
