DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES

Curvilinear motion- is a motion along path either on the vertical plane or on horizontal plane. This type of motion includes
trajectory or projectile, which is a curve path on the vertical plane and rotation on horizontal plane.

*Projectile- is a body which after being given an initial velocity with an initial angle of release is allowed to travel under the
section of gravity only. It has a graph of parabola.

PROBLEMS:

1. A golf ball is driven with an initial velocity of 161 fps
upward at 30 degrees on the horizontal from an
elevated tee 64.4 ft above a level fairway. What
horizontal distance will the ball travel before hitting
the fairway?
2. A baseball is thrown from a horizontal plane
following a parabolic path with an initial velocity of
100m/sec. If it will attain its original position 883m
from the throwing point, determine the angle of
above the horizontal.

3. A ball is thrown so that it just clears a 25-ft wall 100
ft away. If it left the hand 5 ft above the ground and
at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizontal. What
was the initial velocity of the ball?
4. A plane dropped a bomb at an elevation of 1000
meters from the ground intended to hit the target at
an elevation of 200 meters from the ground. If the
plane was flying at a velocity of 300kph, at what
distance from the target must the bomb dropped to
hit the target. Wind pressure and the atmospheric
pressure to be disregarded.
