A 25

1) It is observed that the skier in Figure 4 leaves the ramp A at an angle

with the
vA
horizontal. If he strikes the ground at B, determine his initial speed and the time of
t AB
flight .

2) The elevator E has a mass of 500-kg, and the counterweight at A has a mass of 150kg. If the motor supplies a constant force of 5 kN on the cable at B, determine the
speed of the elevator when t = 3 s, starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the pulleys
and cable.

3) A particle originally at rest and located at point (3 m, 2 m, 5 m), is subjected to an

acceleration of a = [6ti + 12t2k] m/s2. Determine the particles position (x, y, z) at t =
1 s.

4) Determine the minimum speed of the stunt rider so that when he leaves the ramp at
A he passes through the center of the hoop at B. Also, how far h should the landing
ramp be from the hoop so that he lands on it safely at C? Neglect the size of the
motorcycle and rider.
