Fall 2014

Q1.

Packages are thrown down an incline at A with a velocity of 1m/s. The packages
slide along the surface ABC to a conveyor belt which moves with a velocity of
2m/s. Knowing that k=0.25 between the packages and the surface ABC,
determine the distance d if the packages are to arrive at C with a velocity of
2m/s.

Q2.

Boxes are transported by a conveyor belt with a velocity v0 to a fixed incline at A

where they slide and eventually fall off at B. Knowing that, k=0.40 determine the
velocity of the conveyor belt if the boxes are to have zero velocity at B.

Q3.

A small block slides at a speed v= 8ft/s on a horizontal surface at a height h=3ft

above the ground. Determine (a) the angle at which it will leave the cylindrical
surface BCD, (b) the distance x at which it will hit the ground. Neglect friction and
air resistance.

Q4.

A 10-kg block is attached to spring A and connected to spring B by a cord and

pulley. The block is held in the position shown with both springs unstretched
when the support is removed and the block is released with no initial velocity.
Knowing that the constant of each spring is 2kN/m, determine (a) the velocity of
the block after it has moved down 50mm, (b) the maximum velocity achieved by
the block.
