Spring 14 - Week Six Quiz – Modules 34-42

Problem 1) The suspended log shown in the figure below is to be used as a battering
ram. At what angle ϴ should the log be released from rest so that it strikes the door at
ϴ=0 degrees with a velocity of 20 ft/sec?Use the acceleration due to gravity, g=32.2
ft/sec2.

ANSWER: d) None of the above


Problem 2) The wheel shown below has a mass of 5 slugs and a radius of gyration for
the z-axis through point C of 0.7 ft. The spring has a modulus of 20 lb/ft and a natural
(unstretched) length of 4 ft. Use the acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.2 ft/sec2. The
wheel is released from rest, and it rolls without slipping on the plane. Find how far down
the plane the mass center C will move.
