Solution
Coordinate System. The origin of the x@y coordinate system will be set to coinside
with point A as shown in Fig. a

Horizontal Motion. Here (vA)x = vA cos 30° S , (sA)x = 0 and (sB)x = 10 m S .

+2
1S (sB)x = (sA)x + (vA)x t

10 = 0 + vA cos 30° t

10
t =  (1)
vA cos 30°
Also,

+2
1S (vB)x = (vA)x = vA cos 30° (2)

Vertical Motion. Here, (vA)y = vA sin 30° c , (sA)y = 0, (sB)y = 3 - 2 = 1 m c and


ay = 9.81 m>s2 T

1
1 + c2 (sB)y = (sA)y + (vA)y t + a t2
2 y
1
1 = 0 + vA sin 30° t + ( - 9.81)t 2
2
4.905t 2 - 0.5 vA t + 1 = 0 (3)
Also
1 + c2 (vB)y = (vA)y + ay t
(vB)y = vA sin 30° + ( -9.81)t
(vB)y = 0.5 vA - 9.81t (4)

Solving Eq. (1) and (3)

vA = 11.705 m>s = 11.7 m>s Ans.

t = 0.9865 s
Substitute these results into Eq. (2) and (4)

(vB)x = 11.705 cos 30° = 10.14 m>s S


(vB)y = 0.5(11.705) - 9.81(0.9865) = - 3.825 m>s = 3.825 m>s T

Thus, the magnitude of vB is


vB = 2(vB)2x + (vB)2y = 210.142 + 3.8252 = 10.83 m>s = 10.8 m>s Ans.

And its direction is defined by


(vB)y Ans:
3.825
uB = tan-1 c d = tan-1 a b = 20.67° = 20.7°  Ans. vA = 11.7 m>s
(vB)x 10.14
vB = 10.8 m>s
u = 20.7° c
