Chapter 2, Problem 2.13P
A particle moves in a medium under the influence of a retarding force equal to mk(υ3+ a2υ), where k and a are constants. Show that for any value of the initial speed the particle will never move a distance greater than π/2kaand that the particle comes to rest only for t → ∞.

(a) A particle moving in two dimensions is subject to the conservative force F = F,i+Fyj.
Given that F, = xe, what can you say about F,?
At an amusement park there is a roller coaster ride ("ride of Steel"). After the first drop, riders are
moving at the speed of 33 m/s, entering an underground tunnel. Given the fact that the roller
coaster was moving at a speed of 1.11 m/s at the top of the hill, determine the vertical drop that
these participants fell through. Neglect friction.
A two-dimensional, conservative force is zero on the x– and y-axes, and satisfies the condition (dFx/dy) = (dFy/dx) = (4N/m3)xy. What is the magnitude of the force at the point x = y = 1m?
