Chapter 14.2, Problem 14.43P
Three spheres, each with a mass of m, can slide freely on a frictionless. horizontal surface. Spheres A and B are attached to an inextensible. inelastic cord with a length l and are at rest in the position shown when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere C, which is moving with a velocity v0. Knowing that the cord is taut when sphere B is struck by sphere C and assuming perfectly elastic impact between B and C, and thus the conservation of energy for the entire system, determine the velocity of each sphere immediately after impact.

The crate/box shown has a square shape, an in-plane size of 10 ft X 10 ft and a uniformly
distributed 300 lb weight. It is hung on an overhead roller conveyer and being transported.
The crate is at rest when a horizontal force P of 40 lb is applied at the point E, which is 4 ft
above the bottom of the box. Knowing that the crate starts to move from rest and at the
instant t it reaches a speed of 9.3 ft/s. Neglect the frictions at the hinges A and B and
between the rollers and the rail track. Answer the following questions:
a) Draw FBD and KD of the box.
b) What kind of motion the crate is moving in?
c) Write out the motion equations.
d) Find the acceleration at the crate's mass
