Chapter 17, Problem 24ICA
The decay of a radioactive isotope can be theoretically modeled with the following equation, where C0 is the initial amount of the element at time zero and k is the decay rate of the isotope. Create a proper plot of the decay of isotope A [k = 1.48 hours]. Allow time to vary on the abscissa from 0 to = hours with an initial concentration of 10 grams of isotope A.

For the walking-beam mechanism shown in Figure 3, find and plot the x and y coordinates of the
position of the coupler point P for one complete revolution of the crank O2A. Use the coordinate
system shown in Figure 3. Hint: Calculate them first with respect to the ground link 0204 and
then transform them into the global XY coordinate system.

Problem 4
A .025 lb bullet C is fired at end B of the 15-lb slender bar AB. The
bar is initially at rest, and the initial velocity of the bullet is 1500 ft/s
as shown. Assuming that the bullet becomes embedded in the bar,
find (a) the angular velocity @2 of the bar immediately after impact,
and (b) the percentage loss of kinetic energy as a result of the impact.
(c) After the impact, does the bar swing up 90° and reach the
horizontal? If it does, what is its angular velocity at this point?
Answers: (a). @2=1.6 rad/s; (b). 99.6% loss
