1. A man pulls himself up the 15° incline by the method shown. If the combined mass of the
man and cart is 100 kg, determine the acceleration of the cart if the man exerts a pull of
175 N on the rope. Neglect all friction and the mass of the rope, pulleys, and wheels.

[Ans. a = 4.46 m/s2↑

2. The spring of constant k = 200 N/m is attached to both the support and the 2 kg cylinder,
which slides freely on the horizontal guide. If a constant 10 N force is applied to the
cylinder at time t = 0 when the spring is undeformed and the system is at rest, determine
the velocity of the cylinder when x = 40 mm. Also determine the maximum displacement
of the cylinder.
[Ans. v = 0.49 m/s, x = 100 mm]

3. Determine the range of applied force P

not slip on the wedge shaped block of
mass m1. Neglect friction associated
with the wheels of the tapered block.

is 0.4 m /s to the right. Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar
at this instant. [Ans. a = 7.95 m/s2→, a = 8.04 m/s2↓and T = 25 N]
