(a) Explanation Given information: The weight of the collar ( W ) is 8 oz . The radius of the semicircle ( r ) is 1.5 ft . The height of the point A to point C ( x ) is 7.5 ft . The acceleration due to gravity ( g ) is 32.2 ft / s 2 . The velocity at the point A is v 0 . Calculation: Consider the loop 1. Convert the unit of weight of the collar ( W ) from oz to lb using the relation: W = W oz 16 lb Here, W oz is the mass of the collar in oz . Substitute 8 oz for W oz . W = 8 16 = 0.5 lb Calculate the mass of the collar ( m ) using the formula: W = m g m = W g Substitute 0.5 lb for W and 32.2 ft / s 2 for g . m = 0.5 32.2 = 0.01553 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft Assume the datum is at position A . Show the free body diagram of the point B with the forces acting as in Figure (1). Here, the point B has small velocity when the force exerted by the tube on package is zero. Consider the point A . Calculate the kinetic energy in the position A ( T A ) using the formula: T A = 1 2 m v 0 2 Substitute 0.01553 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft for m . T A = 1 2 ( 0.01553 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft ) v 0 2 = 0.007765 v 0 2 Here, the potential energy in the position A ( V A ) is zero. Consider the point B . Calculate the velocity at the point B ( v B ) by considering the force equilibrium condition: ∑ F = 0 m g − m v B 2 r = 0 m g = m v B 2 r g = v B 2 r Substitute 32.2 ft / s 2 for g and 1.5 ft for r . 32.2 = v B 2 1.5 v B 2 = 32.2 × 1.5 v B 2 = 48.3 ft / s v B = 48.3 v B = 6.9498 ft / s Calculate the kinetic energy in the position B ( T B ) using the formula: T B = 1 2 m v B 2 Here, v B is the velocity at the point B . Substitute 0.01553 lb ⋅ s 2 / ft for m and 48.3 ft / s for v B . T B = 1 2 × 0.01553 × 48.3 ft / s = 0 (b) To determine Find the force exerted by the package on the loop just before the package leaves the loop at C ( N C ) .

Q5) The 50-kg crate shown rests on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is #x=0.3. An electrically powered winch is utilized to accelerate the crate at a constant rate until it attains a speed of v-Sm's within a distance of s=20m. If the motor and the winch have an efficiency of n-0.70, determine the power that must be supplied to the motor when s= 20 m. 20 m 50 kg D

A horizontal rail is used to move a block weighing 70 kg from A to B. The rollers are mounted on A so that the guiding rail can move horizontally with negligible friction under the action of the constant 200 N force at C. The block is released from the resting place at A, with the spring attached to it with an extended initial amount of x is 0.3 m. The spring has a stiffness of 75 N/m. Using the principle of work and energy: i. determine the velocity of the block when it reaches position B. ii. if there is appreciable friction between the block and guiding rail, what need to be considered during the analysis. 200 N 0.8 m 1.5 m Figure 1.1 Movement of a block with guiding rail

D A block of mass M is at rest on a ramp that is inclined at an angle 0 with respect to the horizontal. Frictional forces are considered to be nonnegligible. The block is pushed against a spring and then held in place. The spring is compressed a distance of x1, and the spring is not sec after traveling a distance D, as shown above. Which of the following claims correctly describes the energy of the system under consideration from when the block compressed the spring and when the block has traveled a distance D along the incline? Select to the block. The block is then released from rest, travels up the incline, and comes to rest two answers. A The mechanical energy of the system consisting of the spring increases by kx7. The mechanical energy of the system consisting of the block does not change. The mechanical energy of the system consisting of the block and Earth increases by more than zero but less than ka?. The mechanical energy of the system consisting of the spring, block, and…
