ABSOLUTE DEPENDENT MOTION

ANALYSIS OF TWO PARTICLES

In some types of problems the motion of one particle will depend on the
corresponding motion of another particle. (Fig 1)
Note that each of the coordinate axes is:

(1) measured from a fixed point (0) or fixed datum line

Measured along each inclined plane in the direction of motion of
each block

(2)Each has a positive sense from C to A and D to B. If the total

cord length is IT, the two position coordinates are related by the
equation

SA + ICD + SB = IT
The negative sign indicates that when block A has a velocity
downward, in the direction of positive SA, it causes a
corresponding upward velocity of block B; B moves in the
negative SB direction.

As sign convention: If object is moving downward and to the right

it is POSITIVE.

If otherwise moving upward and to the left, NEGATIVE.

We want to slide a 12-kg crate up a 2.5-m-long ramp inclined at 30°. A worker,
ignoring friction, calculates that he can do this by giving it an initial speed of 5 m/s
at the bottom and letting it go. But friction is not negligible; the crate slides only
1.6 m up the ramp, stops, and slides back down. (a) Find the magnitude of the
friction force acting on the crate, assuming that it is constant. (b) How fast is the
crate moving when it reaches the bottom of the ramp?

Ans:

a). Frictional Force = 35 N
