Chapter 3, Problem 34AP
You are spending the summer as an assistant learning how to navigate on a large ship carrying freight across Lake Erie. One day, you and your ship are to travel across the lake a distance of 200 km traveling due north from your origin port to your destination port. Just as you leave your origin port, the navigation electronics go down. The captain continues sailing, claiming he can depend on his years of experience on the water as a guide. The engineers work on the navigation system while the ship continues to sail, and winds and waves push it off course. Eventually, enough of the navigation system comes back up to tell you your location. The system tells you that your current position is 50.0 km north of the origin port and 25.0 km east of the port. The captain is a little embarrassed that his ship is so far off course and barks an order to you to tell him immediately what heading he should set from your current position to the destination port. Give him an appropriate heading angle.

Cam mechanisms are used in many machines. For example, cams open and close the valves in your car engine to admit gasoline vapor to each cylinder and to allow the escape of exhaust.
The principle is illustrated in the figure below, showing a follower rod (also called a pushrod) of mass m resting on a wedge of mass M. The sliding wedge duplicates the function of a
rotating eccentric disk on a camshaft in your car. Assume that there is no friction between the wedge and the base, between the pushrod and the wedge, or between the rod and the guide
through which it slides. When the wedge is pushed to the left by the force F, the rod moves upward and does something such as opening a valve. By varying the shape of the wedge, the
motion of the follower rod could be made quite complex, but assume that the wedge makes a constant angle of 0 = 15.0°. Suppose you want the wedge and the rod to start from rest and
move with constant acceleration, with the rod moving upward 1.00 mm in 8.00 ms. Take m…
