1. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between


the 50-kg crate and the ground is µk = 0.3,
determine the distance the crate travels
and its velocity when t = 3 s. The crate starts
from rest, and P = 200 N.

2. The water-park ride consists of an 800-lb


sled which slides from rest down the incline
and then into the pool. If the frictional
resistance on the incline is Fr = 30 lb, and in
the pool for a short distance Fr = 80 lb,
determine how fast the sled is traveling
when S = 5 ft

3. If P = 400N and the coefficient of kinetic


friction between the 50-kg crate and the
inclined plane is µk = 0.25, determine the
velocity of the crate after it travels 6 m up the
plane. The crate starts from rest.

4. The safe S has a weight of 200 lb and is supported
by the rope and pulley arrangement shown. If the
end of the rope is given to a boy B of weight 90 lb,
determine his acceleration if in the confusion he
doesn’t let go of the rope. Neglect the mass of the
pulleys and ropes

5. The boy having a weight of 80 lb hangs uniformly


from the bar. Determine the force in each of his
arms in, t = 2 s, if the bar is moving upward with
(a) a constant velocity of 3 ft/s.
(b) a speed of v = (4t2) ft/s, where t is in seconds.

6. The 2-Mg truck is traveling at 15 m/s when the


brakes on all its wheels are applied, causing it
to skid for a distance of 10 m before coming to
rest. Determine the constant horizontal force
developed in the coupling C, and the frictional
force developed between the tires of the truck and the road during this time. The total
mass of the boat and trailer is 1 Mg.

7. A freight elevator, including its load, has a mass
of 500 kg. It is prevented from rotating by the
track and wheels mounted along its sides. When
t = 2 s,the motor M draws in the cable with a
speed of 6 m/s, measured relative to the
elevator. If it starts from rest, determine the
constant acceleration of the elevator and the
tension in the cable. Neglect the mass of the
pulleys, motor, and cables.

8. The man pushes on the 60-lb crate with a force


F. The force is always directed down at 30° from
the horizontal as shown, and its magnitude is
increased until the crate begins to slide.
Determine the crate’s initial acceleration if the
coefficient of kinetic friction is µk = 0.3.

9. The double inclined plane supports two blocks A


and B, each having a weight of 10 lb. If the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks
and the plane is µk = 0.1, determine the
acceleration of each block.

10. A 40-lb suitcase slides from rest 20 ft down
the smooth ramp. Determine the point
where it strikes the ground at C. How long
does it take to go from A to C.

11. The 400-kg mine car is hoisted up the


incline using the cable and motor M. For a
short time, the force in the cable is F =
(3200 t2) N, where t is in seconds. If the car
has an initial velocity v1 = 2 m/s when t = 0,
determine its velocity when t = 2 s.

12. 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. Neglect the mass of the
pulleys and cords.

13. The driver attempts to tow the crate using a rope that has a tensile strength of 200 lb.
If the crate is originally at rest and has a weight of 500 lb, determine the greatest
acceleration it can have if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the
road is µs = 0.4, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is µk = 0.3.

14. The 2-lb collar C fits loosely on the smooth shaft. If the spring is unstretched when s =
0, and the collar is given a velocity of 15 ft/s, determine the velocity of the collar when
S = 1 ft.
