11.1 The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x t 2 t 3 , where x and t are expressed
3
in millimeters and seconds, respectively. Determine (a) when the acceleration is zero, (b) the
position and the velocity of the particle at that time.
11.10 The acceleration of point A is defined by the relation a 5.4 sin kt , where a and t are
expressed in m/s2 and seconds, respectively, and k=3 rad/s. Knowing that x=0 and v=1.8 m/s when
t=0, determine the velocity and position of point A when t=0.5 s.
11.34 The velocity of a particle is v v0 1 sin t T . Knowing that the particle starts from the
origin with an initial velocity v0, determine (a) its position and its acceleration at t = 3T, (b) its
average velocity during the interval t=0 to t=T.
11.50 Block C starts from rest and moves down with a constant
acceleration. Knowing that after block A has moves 0.5 m its
velocity is 0.2 m/s, determine (a) the accelerations of A and C, (b) the
velocity and the change in position of block B after 2 s.
