(where necessary assume g = 9.8m s-2.)
(c) A large roller in the form of a uniform cylinder is pulled by a tractor to compact earth;
it has a 180-cm diameter and weighs 10 kN. If frictional losses can be ignored, what
average horsepower must the tractor provide to accelerate it from rest to a speed of
14.4 kph in a horizontal distance of 3 m?
14-89. When the 6-kg box reaches point A it has a speed
of vA = 2 m/s. Determine the angle 0 at which it leaves the
smooth circular ramp and the distance s to where it falls
into the cart. Neglect friction.
