Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.4P
Car A weighing 4000 lb and car B weighing 3700 lb are at rest on a 22-ton flatcar which is also at rest. Cars A and B then accelerate and quickly reach constant speeds relative to the flatcar of 7 ft/s and 3.5 ft/s, respectively, before decelerating to a stop at the opposite end of the flatcar. Neglecting friction and rolling resistance, determine the velocity of the flatcar when the cars are moving at constant speeds.

A constant force of F acts on a mass as shown. The mass starts its motion from rest at position 1, the unstretched lenght of the spring is 250 mm, and the spring modulus is k = 1.5 kN/m. Neglecting the friction, determine the required force F to cause the 2 - kg mass to have a speed of v2 = 1.5 m/s at position 2.
The double pulley shown in the figure is formed by two wheels that are coupled to each other. The complete pulley (formed by the two wheels) has a mass of 15 kg and a turning radius of 110mm.
Block A has a mass of 40 kg. If a force of 2 kN is applied to the tied rope of the inner pulley wheel, determine the speed of block A after 3 seconds. At the beginning, the whole system was at rest. Disregard the mass of the string and consider that the moment of inertia (kg.m²) of the complete pulley is given by IP = mko²where m is the mass of the pulley and Ko is the radiusspinning

is released from rest at point A. The spring has an unstretched length of 200 mm and a spring
constant of 120 N/m. Determine the speed of the slider when it reaches point B and the force
