Dynamics Homework Assignment #6

8 Problems; Covers Text Sections 14.5-14.6, 15.1-15.3


Due: Monday, 2/28/2011 Late Date: Wednesday, 3/2/2011

Problem 6-1
A spring is used to stop a 200-lb package which is moving
down a smooth 20° incline. The spring has a constant k = 125
lb/in. and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 6
in. Knowing that the velocity of the package is 8 ft/s when it is
25 ft from the spring, determine the maximum additional
deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
(Ans: 14.5 in.)

Problem 6-2
The roller coaster car has a speed vA = 5 ft/s when it is
at A, and coasts freely down the track. Determine the
speed vB it attains when it reaches point B. Also
determine the normal force a 150-lb passenger exerts
on the car when it is at B. Neglect the effects of
friction, the mass of the wheels, and the size of the
car.
(Ans: 98.4 ft/s, 601 lb)

Problem 6-3
Work problem 14-100 in the textbook.
(Ans: 5.13 m/s, 208 N )

Problem 6-4
A 50-g golf ball is struck in 3 ms by a driver, such that it is given a velocity v1 = 35 m/s directed
to the right, 30° from the horizontal. Determine the average impulsive force exerted on the ball
and the momentum of the ball in t = 1 s after it leaves the ground. Neglect the impulse caused by
the ball’s weight while it is struck.
(Ans: 467 N@30° , 1.25 kg•m/[email protected]° )

Problem 6-5
The force acting on the 50-lb crate has a magnitude of F =
(2.4t2) lb, where t is in seconds. If the crate starts from rest,
determine its speed when t = 5 s. The coefficients of static
and kinetic friction between the crate and floor are µs = 0.3
and µk = 0.2, respectively.
(Ans: 40.2 ft/s)

Problem 6-6
Work problem 15-20 in the textbook.
(Ans: vA = 27.6 ft/s , vB = 55.2 ft/s )

Problem 6-7
The block has a mass of 50 kg and rests on the surface
of the 75-kg cart. The spring, with stiffness k = 300
N/m, is only attached to the cart (not the block) and is
initially compressed 0.2 m. If the system is released
from rest, determine the speed of the block after the
spring becomes undeformed. Neglect friction, as well
as the mass of the wheels and spring.
(Ans: 0.379 m/s)

Problem 6-8
The barge weighs 45,000 lb, is initially at rest, and
supports two automobiles A and B, which weigh
4,000 lb and 3,000 lb, respectively. If the
automobiles start from rest and drive towards each
other, accelerating at aA = 4 ft/s2, and aB = 8 ft/s2
until they reach a constant speed of 6 ft/s relative to the barge, determine the speed of the barge
just before the automobiles collide. Also, how much time elapses? Neglect water resistance.
(Ans: 0.115 ft/s, 3.06 s)
