Chapter 11, Solution 64.

(a) Construction of the curves.


a−t curve
A1 = −12 m/s, A2 = 8 m/s
v−t curve
v0 = 8 m/s

v6 = v0 + A1 = 8 + ( −12 ) = − 4 m/s

v10 = v6 = − 4 m/s

v14 = v10 + A2 = − 4 + 8 = 4 m/s

A3 = 16 m, A4 = − 4 m

A5 = −16 m, A6 = − 4 m

A7 = 4 m
x−t curve
x0 = 0

x4 = x0 + A3 = 16 m

x6 = x4 + A4 = 12 m

x10 = x6 + A5 = − 4 m

x12 = x10 + A6 = − 8 m

x14 = x12 + A7 = − 4 m

(b) Time for x > 8 m.

From the x−t diagram, this is time interval t1 to t2.

Integrating, using limits x = 0 when t = 0 and x = 8 m when


t = t1
t
= 8t − t 2 
8
x 0
or 8 = 8t1 − t12
0

or t12 − 8t1 + 8 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation,

8± (8)2 − ( 4 )(1)(8)
t1 = = 4 ± 2.828 = 1.172 s and 6.828 s
( 2 )(1)
The larger root is out of range, thus t1 = 1.172 s

Over 6 < t < 10, x = 12 − 4 ( t − 6 ) = 36 − 4t

Setting x = 8, 8 = 36 − 4t2 or t2 = 7 s

Required time interval: ( t2 − t1 ) = 5.83 s W
