Tutorial W12 Kinetics of A Particle Force & Acceleration

The document contains 4 problems related to kinetics of particles involving force and acceleration. Problem 1 involves determining the force in a cable towing a 300-kg bar with an acceleration of (0.4t^2) m/s and the distance moved in 5 seconds. Problem 2 involves determining the force in cables lifting a 700-kg bin with an initial acceleration of 3 m/s^2. Problem 3 involves determining the tension in a cable lifting a 500-kg fuel assembly with an acceleration such that the displacement is 2.5 m after 1.5 seconds. Problem 4 involves determining the speed of a 500-kg elevator after 3 seconds given a constant 5 kN force applied to the cable and a 150-kg counter

Kinetics of a Particle ~ Force & Acceleration

1) The 300-kg bar B, originally at rest, is being towed over a series of small rollers.
Determine the force in the cable when t = 5 s, if the motor M is drawing in the
cable for a short time at a rate of v = (0.4t2) m/s, where t is in seconds (0 ≤ t ≤ 6 s).
How far does the bar move in 5 s? Neglect the mass of the cable, pulley and the
rollers.

2) The crane lifts the 700-kg bin with an initial acceleration of 3 m/s2. Determine the
force in each of the supporting cables due to this motion.

3) The 500-kg fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor is being lifted out from the core of
the nuclear reactor using the pulley system shown. It is hoisted upward with a
constant acceleration such that s = 0 and v = 0 when t = 0, and s = 2.5 m when t =
1.5 s. Determine the tension in the cable at A during the motion.

4) The elevator E has a mass of 500-kg, and the counterweight at A has a mass of
150-kg. If the motor supplies a constant force of 5 kN on the cable at B, determine
the speed of the elevator when t = 3 s, starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the
pulleys and cable.

1) The baggage truck A has a mass of 800-kg and is used to pull the two cars, each
with mass 300-kg. If the tractive force F on the truck is F = 480 N,
(a) determine the initial acceleration of the truck.
(b) what is the acceleration of the truck if the coupling at C suddenly fails?

The car wheels are free to roll. Neglect the mass of the wheels.

2) The 200-kg crate is suspended from the cable of a crane. Determine the force in the
cable when t = 2 s if the crate is moving upward with
(a) a constant velocity of 2 m/s
(b) a speed of v = (0.2t2 + 2) m/s, where t is in seconds
