Chapter 14, Problem 91P

A simple pendulum of mass m = 10 kg and length r= 1 m is mounted on the flatcar, which has a constant horizontal acceleration a = 1 m/s as shown. If the pendulum is released from rest relative to the flatcar at the position 0 = 0 deg, determine the expression for the tension Tin the supporting light rod for 0 = 45 deg and A = 90 deg.

The rod of the fixed hydraulic cylinder is moving to the left with a speed of 94 mm/s and this speed is momentarily increasing at a rate of 440 mm/s each second at the instant when SA = 355 mm. Determine the tension in the cord at that instant. The mass of slider Bis 0.77 kg, the length of the cord is 950 mm, and the effects of the radius and friction of the small pulley at A are negligible. Find results for cases (a) negligible friction at slider B and (b) p = 0.42 at slider B. The action is in a vertical plane. 220 mm Answers: 0.77 kg B (a) Negligible friction: T= i (b) Uk=0.42: T= i N N

The slotted arm OA rotates about a horizontal axis through point O. The 0.18-kg slider P moves with negligible friction in the slot and is controlled by the inextensible cable BP. For the instant under consideration, θ=26∘, ω=θ˙=4.6 rad/s, θ¨=0, and r=0.63 m. Determine the corresponding values of the tension T in cable BP and the force reaction R perpendicular to the slot. The force R is positive if the contact comes from the lower edge of the slot and negative if the contact comes from the top edge. *The answer is not 2.44 and -0.47 or 5.96 and 3.51
