BES 026 – DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES

QUIZ 1 AND 2

I. Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

1. The block rests at a distance of 2 m from the center of the platform.

If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the
platform is 𝜇 s = 0.3, determine the maximum speed which the block can
attain before it begins to slip. Assume the angular motion of the disk
is slowly increasing.

2. Determine the maximum speed that the jeep can travel over the crest of
the hill and not lose contact with the road.

3. The sports car is traveling along a 30 banked road having a radius of

curvature of r = 500 ft. If the coefficient of static friction between
the tires and the road is 𝜇 s = 0.2, determine the maximum safe speed so
no slipping occurs. Neglect the size of the car.

4. If the 10-kg ball has a velocity of 3 m/s when it is at position A,

along the vertical path, determine the tension in the cord and the
increase in the speed of the ball at this position.
5. At the instant shown, cars A and B are traveling with speeds of 18 m/s
and 12 m/s respectively. Also, at this instant, A has decrease in speed
of 2 m/s2, and B has an increase of 3 m/s2. Determine the velocity and
acceleration of B with respect to A.

6. Determine the velocity of D if end A of the rope is pulled down with a

speed of 3 m/s.

7. If the end of the cable at A is pulled down with a speed of 2 m/s,

determine the speed at which block B rises.

8. Determine the constant speed at which the cable at A must be drawn in

by the motor in order to hoist the load 6 m in 1.5 s.
9. Plane A is flying along a straight-line path, whereas plane B is flying
along a circular path having a radius of curvature of rB = 600 km.
Determine the velocity and acceleration of B as measured by the pilot
of A.

10. If the motor exerts a constant force of 300 N on the cable,

determine the speed of the 20-kg crate when it travels s = 10 m up the
plane, starting from rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between
the crate and the plane is 𝜇 k = 0.3.

11. For protection, the barrel barrier is placed in front of the

bridge pier. If the relation between the force and deflection of the
barrier is lb, where is in ft, determine the car’s maximum penetration
in the barrier. The car has a weight of 4000 lb and it is traveling
with a speed of just 75 ft/s before it hits the barrier.

12. The crate, which has a mass of 100 kg, is subjected to the action
of the two forces. If it is originally at rest, determine the distance
it slides in order to attain a speed of 6 m/s. The coefficient of
kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is 𝜇 k = 0.2.
