MED 105 – Engineering Mechanics , Quiz 3

Answer All the questions. Duration: 90 minutes

1) A 600-g ball A is moving with a velocity of magnitude
6 m/s when it is hit as shown by a 1-kg ball B which has
a velocity of magnitude 4 m/s. Knowing that the
coefficient of restitution is 0.8 and assuming no
friction, determine the velocity of each ball after
impact.

2) Prove that in the case of a perfectly elastic impact, the total energy of the two particles is
conserved.

3) Find the centroid of the composite section made up of

two rectangles given in figure.

4) Determine the moment of inertia and the radius of gyration of

the shaded area with respect to the x axis.

5) Determine the mass moment of inertia of a ring of mass m of

uniform density ρ, cut from a thin uniform plate of thickness t,
with respect to the centroidal axis CC’ that is perpendicular to
the plane of the ring.
