Challenge Problems

PROBLEM #1 : Water is sprayed at an angle of 90° from the

slope at 20 m/s. Determine the range R.

PROBLEM #2 : Small packages traveling on the conveyor belt fall off

into a 1-m-Iong loading car. If the conveyor is running at a constant
speed of Vc = 2 m/s, determine the smallest and largest distance R at
which the end A of the car may be placed from the conveyor so that the
packages enter the car.

PROBLEM #3 : The motor winds in the cable with a constant

acceleration, such that the 20-kg crate moves a distance s = 6 m in 3 s,
starting from rest. Determine the tension developed in the cable. The
coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is µk =
0.3.

PROBLEM #4 If blocks A and B of mass 10 kg and 6 kg, respectively,

are placed on the inclined plane and released, determine the force
developed in the link. The coefficients of kinetic friction between the
blocks and the inclined plane are µA = 0.1 and µB = 0.3. Neglect the
mass of the link.

PROBLEM #5 : Determine the required mass of block A so that when

it is released from rest it moves the 5-kg block B a distance of 0.75 m
up along the smooth inclined plane in t = 2 s. Neglect the mass of the
pulleys and cords.
