Two rods of negligible weight are pinned at B and attached to blocks A and C. Find the value of P for impending motion and determine which block will move first, given:MA = 23 kg, MC = 56 kg, θ = 75 °, Φ = 60 °, α = 25 °, μ = 0.3
A conservative mechanical system consists of a mass m that is constrained to move along a circle of radius
R. The centre of the circle is at the origin O of the coordinate system. The mass is connected to a point A
along the â-axis at a distance 2R from the centre of circle with a spring of elastic constant k, so that the
corresponding elastic potential has the form Vspring = (k/2)ď², where d is the (varying) distance between the
mass and point A. Gravity acts, as usual, along the vertical direction. See the figure for a depiction of the
system.

- Q2) The slotted arm pivots about O and maintains the relation between the motions of sliders A and B and their control rods. Each small pivoted block is pinned to its respective slider and is constrained to slide in its rotating slot. Show that the displacement x is proportional to the reciprocal of y.

The spring is attached to a cord that is fastened to point B on the 75-mm radius pulley. The pulley is fixed at point O , rotates backwards to the cocked position at 0 , and the rope wraps around the pulley and stretches the spring with a stiffness of k = 2000 N/m. The combined mass moment of inertia of all the rotating components about point O is 0.40 kg·m2. The swing is timed perfectly to strike a 145-gram baseball travelling with a speed of V0 = 10 m/s at a distance of h = 0.7 m away from point O. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the bat and ball is 0.59, determine the velocity of the baseball immediately after the impact. Assume that the ball is travelling primarily in the horizontal plane and that its spin is negligible.arrow_forward

- 4. When only conservative forces are acting on a system, we can use the conservation of energy theorem to solve a problem. Recall from particle kinetics: T₁ + V₁ = T2 + V2, where V is potential energy (due to both gravitational and elastic forces: V₂ = Wyc and Ve= + ½ ks², respectively). The 30-kg rod is released from rest when 0 = 45°. The spring is unstretched when 0 = 45°. Using conservation of energy theorem, determine the angular velocity of the rod when 0 = 0°.

The other end is pressed against (NOT connected with) a spring of constant k = 150 lb/ft until the spring is compressed 1 ft. The rod is then in a horizontal position. The mechanism is designed such that no interference occurs during all motions. If the rod is released from rest at this position, when it rotates 45°, determine: a) The angular velocity of rod AB. b) The angular acceleration of rod AB, as well as the magnitude of the reaction force at O. 5 ft 1 ft Barrow_forward3.8 The two springs are identical, with unstretched lengths of 250 mm.
