Explanation Given information: The length of chain is L . Calculation: Consider the mass of the chain between the two piles is m , the time period is between t and t + Δ t , and Δ m be the amount of chain that is picked up at A and deposited at C . At time t , Δ m is in pile A and it has the downward speed v just above the pile C . Hence, the remaining , mass ( m − Δ m ) is moving with speed v . At time t + Δ t , Δ m is moving with the speed v + Δ v just above the pile A and it is placed in pile C . For over the time period an unbalanced weight of chain acts on the system. Consider the mass per unit length of chain as m L = ρ . Assume the reaction from the floor is equal to the weight of the chain in contact with the floor. Calculate the weight of chain ( W ) as shown below. W = ρ g h Substitute m l for ρ . W = m L g h The rate of mass of the chain Δ m = m L v ( Δ t ) . Sketch the Free Body Diagram of the chain as shown in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1. Apply the impulse and momentum principle as shown below. r [ ( Δ m ) v + ( m − Δ m ) v ] + r W ( Δ t ) = r [ ( Δ m ) ( v + Δ v ) + ( m − Δ m ) ( v + Δ v ) ] Divide the equation by r and remove cancel the terms ( Δ m ) v and ( m − Δ m ) v as shown below. 0 + W ( Δ t ) = ( Δ m ) ( v + Δ v ) + ( m − Δ m ) ( Δ v ) W Δ t = Δ m v + Δ m Δ v + m Δ v − Δ m Δ v W Δ t = Δ m v + m Δ v Substitute m L g h for W and m L v ( Δ t ) for Δ m

Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

applied mechanics 2

The carnival ride from Prob. 12.51 is modified so that the 80-kg riders can move up and down the inclined wall as the speed of the ride increases. Assuming that the friction between the wall and the carriage is negligible, determine the position h of the rider if the speed v0 = 13 m/s.Reference to Problem 12.51:

A 5-kg collar A is at rest on top of, but not attached to, a spring with stiffness k1 = 400 N/m when a constant 150-N force is applied to the cable. Knowing A has a speed of 1 m/s when the upper spring is compressed 75 mm, determine the spring stiffness k2 . Ignore friction and the mass of the pulley.
