A body moves in a straight line with a


velocity whose square decreases linearly
with the displacement between two points
A and B, which are 300 ft apart as shown.
Find the displacement of the body during
the last 2 seconds before arrival at B.




2. The 14-in. spring is compressed to an 8-
in. length, where it is released from rest and
accelerates the sliding block A. The
acceleration has an initial value of 400
ft/sec
2
and then decreases linearly with the
x-movement of the block, reaching 0 when
the spring regains its original 14-in. length.
Find the time for the block to go (a) 3 in.
and (b) 6 in.





3. A car starts from rest and accelerates at a
constant rate till it reaches 60 mi/hr in a
distance of 200 ft, when the clutch is
disengaged. The car then slows down to 30
mi/hr in an additional distance of 400 ft
with a deceleration which is
proportional to its velocity. Find the
time for the car to travel the 600 ft.

4. The x- and y-motions of guides A
and B with right-angle slots control the
curvilinear motion of the connecting
pin P, which slides in both slots. For a
short interval, the motions are governed
by x = 20 + t

acceleration of the pin for t = 2 s.

7. In the design of a timing mechanism, the
motion of the pin A in the fixed circular
slot is controlled by the guide B, which is
being elevated by its lead screw with a
constant upward velocity v

interval of its motion. Calculate both the
normal and tangential components of
acceleration of pin A as it passes the

8. A rocket traveling above the
atmosphere at an altitude of 500 km
would have a free-fall acceleration g =
8.43 m/s

in the absence of forces other
than gravitational attraction. Because of
thrust, however, the rocket has an
additional acceleration component a
1
of
8.80 m/s

tangent to its trajectory,
which makes an angle of 30 with the
vertical at the instant considered. If the
velocity v of the rocket is 30 000 km/h
at this position, compute the radius of
curvature of the trajectory and the rate
at which v is changing with time.

12. The sliders A and B are connected
by a light rigid bar of length 0.5 m and
move with negligible friction in the
horizontal slots shown. For the position
where x
A
= 0.4 m, the velocity of A is
0.9 m/s to the right. Determine the
acceleration of each slider and the force

13. A pilot flies an airplane at a
constant speed of 600 km/h in the
vertical circle of radius 1000 m.
Calculate the force exerted by the seat

point B.



14. The cars of an amusement park ride
have a speed v
A
= 22 m/s at A and a
speed v
B
= 12 m/s at B. If a 75-kg rider
sits on a spring scale (which registers
the normal force exerted on it),
determine the scale readings as the car
passes points A and B. Assume that the
person's arms and legs do not support
appreciable force.





15. The 3-kg slider A fits loosely in the
smooth 45 slot in the disk, which
rotates in a horizontal plane about its
center O. If A is held in position by a
cord secured to point B, determine the
tension in the cord for a constant
rotational velocity = 300 rev/min.
Would the direction of the velocity
make any difference?



16. The 3000-lb car is traveling at 60
mi/hr on the straight portion of the
road, and then its speed is reduced
uniformly from A to C, at which point
it comes to rest. Compute the
magnitude F of the total friction force
exerted by the road on the car (a) just
before it passes point B, (b) just after it
passes point B, and (c) just before it
stops at point C.

load W during 10 seconds if the
hoisting drum draws in cable at the
constant rate of 180 mm/s.
