Chapter 11, Solution 10.

Given: a = − 5.4sin kt ft/s 2 , v0 = 1.8 ft/s, x0 = 0, k = 3 rad/s

t t 5.4 t
v − v0 = ∫ 0 a dt = − 5.4 ∫ 0 sin kt dt = cos kt
k 0

5.4
v − 1.8 = ( cos kt − 1) = 1.8cos kt − 1.8
3

Velocity: v = 1.8cos kt ft/s

t t 1.8 t
x − x0 = ∫ 0 v dt = 1.8 ∫ 0 cos kt dt = sin kt
k 0

1.8
x−0= ( sin kt − 0 ) = 0.6sin kt
3

Position: x = 0.6sin kt ft

When t = 0.5 s, kt = ( 3)( 0.5 ) = 1.5 rad

v = 1.8cos1.5 = 0.1273 ft/s v = 0.1273 ft/s W

x = 0.6sin1.5 = 0.5985 ft x = 0.598 ft W
