Module 4.3 – Dynamics of Rigid Bodies
At the end of this module, the student must know the principles of
Objective forces and accelerations in the plane motion of a rigid body as well
as be able to apply it in solving problems theoretically.
Required:
Tension in cables AC and AB when t = 0.3 s
Solution:
Get the acceleration first using Kinematics the proceed to Kinetics part.
Kinematics:
𝑣 = 𝑣𝑜 + 𝑎𝑡
0.2 = 0 + 𝑎(0.3)
0.2
ℎ=
0.3
𝑎 = 0.666666667 𝑚/𝑠 2
Kinetics:
∑ 𝐹𝐻 = 0
𝐹𝐴𝐵 = 𝐹𝐴𝐶 → 𝑒𝑞 ′ 𝑛 1
∑ 𝐹𝑣 = 0
𝐹𝐴𝐵 = 𝐹𝐴𝐶 → 𝑒𝑞 ′ 𝑛 1
Sample Problem 2:
Determine the acceleration of the system and the
tension in each cable. The inclined plane is smooth,
and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the
horizontal surface and block C is mk = 0.2.
Given:
Mass of block A, mA = 25 kg
Mass of block B, mB = 5 kg
Mass of block C, mC = 10 kg
Coefficient of kinetic friction between block C and horizontal surface, μk = 0.2
Required:
Acceleration of the system, a
Tension in each cable, T1 and T2
Solution:
For Block A:
∑ 𝐹𝑥′ = 0
𝑇1 − 𝑊𝑠𝑖𝑛30 − 𝑚𝐴 𝑎 = 0
𝑇1 − 25(9.81)(𝑠𝑖𝑛30) + (25)𝑎 = 0
−𝑇1 + 25(9.81)(𝑠𝑖𝑛30)
𝑎= → 𝑒𝑞 ′ 𝑛 1
25
For Block B:
∑ 𝐹𝑣 = 0
𝑇1 − 𝑇2 − (5)(9.81) − 5𝑎 = 0
𝑇1 − 𝑇2 − (5 ∗ 9.81) − 5𝑎 = 0 → 𝑒𝑞 ′ 𝑛 2
For Block C:
10(9.81) = 𝑁
Solving for all the unknowns we get:
∑ 𝐹𝐻 = 0
𝑇1 = 88.90 𝑁
−𝑇2 + 0.2𝑁 + 𝑚𝑎 = 0 𝑇2 = 33.11 𝑁
−𝑇2 − (0.2 ∗ 10 ∗ 9.81) + (10)𝑎 = 0 𝑎 = 1.349 𝑚/𝑠 2
