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.

= beaten da2. QS pts.) 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. Find the acceleration @ 4 of point A on the comer of the panel.

Peet3. (25 pts.) The lawn roller has a mess of 80 kg and a radius of gyration k=0.175 m,
If tt is pushed forward with a force of 200 N when the handle is at 45°, determine the
acceleration of the center of mass, G. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are
0.12 and 0.10 respectively.
