Kinetics of Curvilinear Translation – Dynamics

Equilibrium
1. In the Figure, the 45.36 kg ball moving with
a constant velocity of v = 2.45 m/s in a
horizontal plan at the end of a cord of length
L = 0.46 m. It is required to determine the
tension in the cord, its inclination with the
vertical and the period or time required to
complete one revolution.

3. What counterweight W will maintain the Corliss engine governor in the position
shown in the figure at a rotational speed n = 120 rpm. Each flyball weight 16.1lb
Neglect the weight of the other links.
Banking of Highway Curves
1. A car with a mass of 1460 kg rounds a
curve 61 meter radius banked at an angle of
30°. Find the friction force acting on the
tires when the car is traveling at 96.56 kph.
The coefficient of friction between the tires
and the road is 0.90.
3. The coefficient of friction between the road
& the tires of the car shown in the figure is
0.60. The car has a mass of 1460 kg. It is
rounding the curve of 152.4 m radius at
maximum speed. What is the value of the
friction force acting under each wheel? How
high above the road must the center of
gravity be to limit this maximum speed by
the tendency to overturn?
2. Find the angle of banking for a highway
curve of 91.44 m radius designed to
accommodate cars traveling at 160.93 kph,
if the coefficient of friction between the
tires & the road is 0.60. What is the rated
speed of the curve.
4. The rated speed of a highway curve of 60m
radius is 50 kph. If the coefficient of friction
between the tires and the road is 0.60, what
is the maximum speed at which a car can
round the curve without skidding?
