Sorumum - Barer MASE 255 Engineering Mechanics II: Dynamics Final Exam May 11, 2010 Show all work - Partial credit will be assigned based on work shown. Distinguish vectors from scalars, Answers must be expressed in terms of consistent units. 1. (25 pts.) The center of mass of the 1650 kg car is at G. Calculate the normal forces on the wheels from the road at A and B, under conditions of maximum acceleration, Because of symmetry you can express your answers as one net normal force Fy) acting on the pair of front wheels, and one net normal force (Fo) acting on the pair of rear wheels. The car is rear wheel drive; the front wheels roll freely. The coefficient of static friction between the road and the rear wheels is 0.8; the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4. + 8(FeD) eb ot aN + (+4 —> Aly +a) mg+d Ageia —> 4 (fg fan ) op he } + ¥ (24-p!)

The center O of the spacecraft moves through space with velocity v, During a certain time period the spacecraft body maintains a constant angular rate of rotation Q=0.5 rad/sec about the z-axis, The x-y-z axes are attached to the body. The solar panels rotate about the y-axis at the constant rate 6=0.25 rad/sec. The _ sees panels are 4 ft x 4 ft square and their central axis is their axis of rotation. “= 29 a, Find the angular acceleration é of the panels — b.
