Chapter 14.3, Problem 14.61P
A rotary power plow is used to remove snow from a level section of railroad track. The plow car is placed ahead of an engine that propels it at a constant speed of 20 km/h. The plow car clears 160 Mg of snow per minute, projecting it in the direction shown with a velocity of 12 m/s relative to the plow car. Neglecting friction, determine (a) the force exerted by the engine on the plow car. (2) the lateral force exerted by the track on the plow.

A polisher is started so that the fleece along the circumference undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 4 m/s2 . Three seconds after it is started, small tufts of fleece from along the circumference of the 225-mm-diameter polishing pad are observed to fly free of the pad. At this instant, determine (a) the speed v of a tuft as it leaves the pad, (b ) the magnitude of the force required to free a tuft if the average mass of a tuft is 1.6 mg.
6. Exercise 2.5.32 Block A is observed to be dropping down at a steady 0.9 ft/s. At what
velocity must the free end of the pulley be moving?

Human centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots. When aerospace physiologists say that a pilot is pulling 9 g,s , they mean that the resultant normal force on the pilot from the bottom of the seat is nine times their weight. Knowing that the centrifuge starts from rest and has a constant angular acceleration of 1.5 RPM per second until the pilot is pulling 9 g's and then continues with a constant angular velocity, determine (a) how long it will take for the pilot to reach 9 g's (b) the angle 0 of the normal force once the pilot reaches 9 g’s. Assume that the force parallel to the seat is zero.
