17–35. The 4-Mg uniform canister contains nuclear waste material encased in concrete. If
the mass of the spreader beam BD is 50 kg, determine the force in each of the links AB,
CD, EF, and GH when the system is lifted with an acceleration of a = 2 m/s2 for a short
period of time.
17–42. The uniform crate has a mass of
50 kg and rests on the cart having an
inclined surface. Determine the smallest
acceleration that will cause the crate
either to tip or slip relative to the cart.
What is the magnitude of this
acceleration? The coefficient of static
friction between the crate and the cart is
µs = 0.5.
17-78. Block A has a mass m and rests on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction
µk. The cord attached to A passes over a pulley at C and is attached to a block B having a
mass 2m. If B is released, determine the acceleration of A. Assume that the cord does not
slip over the pulley. The pulley can be approximated as a thin disk of radius r and mass
0.25m. Neglect the mass of the cord.
17-85. The bar has a weight per length of w. If it is rotating in the vertical plane at a
constant rate ω about point O, determine the internal normal force, shear force, and
moment as a function of x and θ.
17- 93. The spool has mass M and radius of gyration kG. It rests on the inclined surface
for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is µk. If the spool is released from rest and
slips at A, determine the initial tension in the cord and the angular acceleration of the
spool.
17–104. The 20-kg disk A is attached to the 10-kg block B using the cable and pulley
system shown. If the disk rolls without slipping, determine its angular acceleration and
the acceleration of the block when they are released. Also what is the tension in the
cable? Neglect the mass of the pulleys.
17–106. The spool has a mass of 500 kg and a radius of gyration kG = 1.30 m. It rests on
the surface of a conveyor belt for which the coefficient of static friction is µs =0.5 and the
coefficient of kinetic friction is µk =0.4. If the conveyor accelerates at aC = 1 m/s2,
determine the initial tension in the wire and the angular acceleration of the spool. The
spool is originally at rest.
17–111. The spool has a mass of 100 kg and a radius of gyration of kG = 200 mm about
its center of mass G. If a vertical force of P = 500 N is applied to the cable, determine the
acceleration of G and the angular acceleration of the spool. The coefficients of static and
kinetic friction between the rail and the spool are µs = 0.2 and µk = 0.15, respectively.
