The trapeze/lanyard air drop (t/LAD) launch is a proposed innovative method for airborne launch of a payload-carrying rocket. The release sequence involves several steps as shown in (1), where the payload rocket is shown at various instances during the launch. To investigate the first step of this process, where the rocket body drops freely from the carrier aircraft until the 2-m lanyard stops the vertical motion of B, a trial rocket is tested as shown in (2). The rocket can be considered a uniform 1 × 7-m rectangle with a mass of 4000 kg. Knowing that the rocket is released from rest and falls vertically 2 m before the lanyard becomes taut, determine the angular velocity of the rocket immediately after the lanyard is taut.

The center of mass of the person-raft system is a distance d'from the center of the raft. The person then walks to the other end of the raft. If friction between the raft and the water is negligible, how far does the raft nove relative to the water?

When an oblique impact occurs between two smooth particles, the particles move away from each other with velocity vectors that have unknown directions and unknown magnitudes. If the y axis is within the plane of contact and the x axis is the line of impact, the impulsive forces of deformation and restitution act only along the line of impact (the x axis). Momentum of the system is conserved along the line of impact (the x axis): ∑m(vx)1=∑m(vx)2 The coefficient of restitution, e, relates the relative-velocity components of the particles along the line of impact (the x axis): e=(vBx)2−(vAx)2(vAx)1−(vBx)1 The momenta of both particles A and B are conserved in the plane of contact (the y axis) because no impulse acts on either particle in this plane. Therefore, the y component of the velocities before and after the collisions remains unchanged: (vy)1=(vy)2 As shown,…arrow_forward
