ES203 – Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

Problem Set #2_Midterms

Name: Date:

Give completely what is asked.

1. A 3000-lb automobile is being driven down a 5° incline at a speed of 50 mi/h when the
brakes are applied, causing a total braking force of 1200 lb to be applied to the
automobile. Determine the distance traveled by the automobile before it comes to a
stop.
2. A 6-kg block B rests as shown on a 10-kg bracket A. The coefficients of friction are µ s
= 0.30 and µk = 0.25 between block B and bracket A, and there is no friction in the
pulley or between the bracket and the horizontal
surface. (a) Determine the maximum mass of block
C if block B is not to slide on bracket A. (b) If the
mass of block C is 10% larger than the answer
found in (a) determine the accelerations of A, B,
and C.
3. Block A weighs 20 lb, and blocks B and C weigh 10 lb each.
Knowing that the blocks are initially at rest and that B moves
through 8 ft in 2 s, determine (a) the magnitude of the force P, (b)
the tension in the cord AD. Neglect the masses of the pulleys and
axle friction.

4. A 12-lb block B rests as shown on the upper surface of a 30-


lb wedge A. Neglecting friction, determine immediately after
the system is released from rest (a) the acceleration of A, (b)
the acceleration of B relative to A.
