v0 = 20 ft/s, v1 = − 6 ft/s
A1 = − 6t1

A2 = − ( 40 − 6 ) t1 = −17t1
2
v1 = v0 + A1 + A2
6 = 20 − 6t1 − 17t1
(a) t1 = 0.6087 s t1 = 0.609 s W
t2 = 1.4 s
t2 − t1 = 0.7913 s

A1 + A3 = − ( 6 )(1.4 ) = − 8.4 ft/s

A2 = − (17 )( 0.6087 ) = − 10.348 ft/s

v2 = v0 + A1 + A3 + A2 = 20 − 8.4 − 10.348 v2 = 1.252 ft/s W

(b) x2 = x0 + v0t2 + ( A1 + A3 ) x13 + A2 x2 by moment-area method
