    TUTORIAL # 3 (Chapter 2)

    Q1. The baggage truck A has a mass of 800 kg and


    is used to pull each of the 300-kg cars. If the
    tractive force F on the truck is = 480 N,
    determine:

    a) The initial acceleration of the truck.


    b) Forces in coupling B and C.
    c) What is the acceleration of the truck if the
    coupling at C suddenly fails?

    The car wheels are free to roll. Neglect the mass of the wheels.

    (Ans. (a) a = 0.343 m/s2,(b)TB =205.6 N,TC=102.9N,(c) a = 0.436 m/s2)

    Q2. The speed of the 17.5-kN sports car is plotted over the
    30-s time period. Determine the traction force F acting
    on the car needed to cause the motion at t = 5 s and t =
    20 s,

    (Ans. F5= 3.211 kN, F20=535 N)

    Q3.The winding drum D is drawing in the cable at an


    accelerated rate of 5 m/s2. Determine the cable tension
    if the suspended crate has a mass of 800 kg.

    (Ans. T = 4.92 kN)

    Q4. The coefficient of static friction between the flat bed


    of the truck and the crate it carries is 0.30. Determine
    he minimum stopping distance s which the truck
    can have from a speed of 70 km/h with constant
    deceleration if the crate is not to slip forward.

    ( Ans. s = 64.3 m)
    Q5. The elevator E has a mass of 500 kg and the counter weight
    at A has a mass of 150 kg. If the motor supplies a constant
    force of 5 kN on the cable at B, determine the speed of the
    elevator in t = 3 s starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the
    pulleys and cable.

    (Ans. vE = 7.23 m/s)

    Q6. If the crest of the hill has a radius of curvature ρ = 60


    m determine the maximum constant speed at which
    the car can travel over it without leaving the surface of
    the road. Neglect the size of the car in the calculation.
    The car has a weight of 17.5.kN.

    ( Ans. v = 24.26 m/s)

    Q7. When crossing an intersection, a. motorcyclist


    encounters the sight bump or crown caused by
    the intersecting road, if the crest of the bump has a
    radius of curvature ρ = 15 m, determine the
    maximum constant speed at which he can travel
    without leaving the surface of the road, Neglect the
    size of the motorcycle and rider in the calculation.
    The rider and his motorcycle have a total weight of
    2250 N.

    ( Ans. v = 12.13 m/s)

    Q8. The motion of a 2-kg block B in a horizontal plane is


    defined by the relations r = 3t2 – t3 and θ = 2t2, where r is
    expressed in metres, t in seconds, and θ in radians.
    Determine the radial and transverse components of the
    force exerted on the block when (a) t = 0, (b) t = 1s.

    ( Ans. (a) Fr = 12N, Fθ=0, (b) Fr = -64 N, Fθ = 64 N)


    Q9. Slider C has a mass of 2OO g and may move
    in a slot cut in. arm AB, which rotates at the constant
    rate θ·o = 12 rad/s in a horizontal plane. The slider is
    attached to a spring of constant k = 36 N/m, which is
    unstretched when r = 0. Knowing that the slider
    passes through the position r = 400 mm with a radial
    velocity vr = +1.8 m/s. determine at that instant:

    a) The radial and transverse components of its


    acceleration,
    b) Its acceleration relative to arm.
    c) The horizontal force exerted on the slider
    by arm AB.

    ( Ans. (a) ar = - 72 m/s, aθ = 43.2 m/s , (b) -14.40 m/s2), (c) 8.64 N)
