Chapter 11, Solution 55.: Let X Be Position Relative To Left Anchor. at The Right Anchor

This document provides solutions to problems from a chapter on cable dynamics. It gives the equations of motion for a system with two blocks connected by a cable, and calculates the accelerations, velocities, and displacements of the blocks. The accelerations of blocks A and D are -0.512 in/s^2 and 0.512 in/s^2, respectively. The velocity of block B after 4 seconds is 2.93 in/s, and its change in position is 17.86 inches.
