HW05 Solution METU

This document contains 3 physics problems involving forces, friction, springs, and motion along inclined planes and parabolic paths. The first problem asks the user to determine the initial acceleration of a crate sliding down an inclined plane. The second problem asks the user to calculate the normal force and rate of change of speed for a block moving along a parabolic path attached to a spring. The third problem asks the user to determine the normal force and force exerted on a roller by a rotating slotted bar based on the bar's angular acceleration and velocity and the roller's position on a cam surface.

Q1. The man pushes on the 30-kg crate with a force F. The force is always directed at 30 from the inclined plane
as shown, and its magnitude is increased until the crate begins to slide. Determine the crate's initial acceleration if
the coefficient of static friction is s = 0.4 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is k = 0.25.

Q2. The 8-kg block is confined to move along the smooth parabolic path. The attached spring restricts the
motion and, due to the roller guide, always remains horizontal as the block descends. If the spring has a
stiffness of k = 10 N/m, and unstretched length of 0.25 m, determine the normal force of the path on the block
at the instant x = 0.7 m when the block has a speed of 3.5 m/s. Also, what is the rate of increase in the speed
of the block at this point? Neglect the mass of the roller and the spring.

Q3. The smooth surface of the vertical cam is defined by the curve r = (0.5 0.25cos) m. The slotted bar
rotates counterclockwise with an angular acceleration of = 2 rad/s2, and when = 120 the angular
velocity is = 6 rad/s. Determine the normal force acting on the 2-kg roller and the force exerted by the
bar on it at this instant.
The attached spring has a stiffness k = 100 N/m and an unstretched length of 0.1 m.
