QUESTION 1

A load W of magnitude 350 N is applied to the mechanism at C. Neglecting the weight of the
mechanism, determine the value of θ corresponding to equilibrium using principle of virtual
work. The constant of the spring is k = 5 kN/m, and the spring is unstretched when θ = 0.

QUESTION 2

An automobile is travelling on the level pavement at a speed of 90 km/h. At that speed the
driver apply a break until it’s come to stop and the breaking distance was 45 m. Assume the
breaking force is independent of the grade. By applying the suitable method

a) Find the deceleration of the automobile from 90 km/h until it’s stopped. (CO1:PO1)(C2)

(7 marks)

b) Find the breaking force applied by the road and the tires. (CO1:PO1)(C2)

QUESTION 3

Crate A of mass 15 kg is projected with an initial velocity of 5 m/s upwards along an incline
15o as shown in Figure Q3. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane
is μk = 0.2.

a) Determine the velocity after it has moved 5 m. (CO2:PO2)(C4)

(5 marks)

b) Determine the maximum distance it can move up. (CO2:PO2)(C4)

(2 marks)

c) If the Crate A of mass 15 kg is projected with an initial velocity of 5 m/s upwards along
an incline13o, determine the velocity after it has moved 5 m. (CO2:PO2)(C4)

(7 marks)

d) Based on QUESTION Q3c), if at the mid-travelled distance, the angle is increased by

20%, determine the range of new total distance it can move up. (CO2:PO2)(C4)
