Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.7P
A tugboat pulls a small barge through a harbor. The propeller thrust minus the drag produces a net thrust that varies linearly with speed. Knowing that the combined weight of the tug and barge is 3600 kN, determine (a) the time required to increase the speed from an initial value v1 = 1.0 m/s to a final value v2 = 2.5 m/s, (b) the distance traveled during this time interval.

Assuming that an automobile traveling at 45 mi/h is brought to a stop in 110 ms, determine (a) the average impulsive force exerted by a 200-lb man on the belt, (b) the maximum force Fm exerted on the belt if the force-time diagram has the shape shown.

- Using a simple pulley/rope system, a crewman on an Arctic expedition is trying to lower a 6.56 kg crate to the bottom of a steep ravine of 24.7 meters. The 60.9 kg crewman is carefully lowering the crate at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point of 13.7 meters above the ground, the crewman slips and the crate immediately accelerates toward the ground dragging the crewman across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. Assuming no friction, at what speed does the crate hit the ground? Also, assume that the rope is long enough to hit the ground. At what speed does the crewman hit the bottom of the ravine? Assume no air friction.arrow_forwardA locomotive exerts a constant force of 200,000 lbs on a set of series-connected railroad cars weighing 5,000,000 lbs and having a total axle friction and rolling resistance of 2,000 lbs.

For this analysis, take motion/distance/force directed to the right as positive and force directed up as positive.
