DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES

MIDTERM EXAMINATION

QUESTION 1. An automobile starting from rest speeds up QUESTION 5. Determine the magnitude of W in the figure
to 50 meters per second with a constant acceleration of shown so that the 200-lb body will have an acceleration
6𝑚/𝑠 2 , runs at this speed for a time, and finally comes to down the plane of 4.025 𝑓𝑡/𝑠𝑒𝑐 2 .
rest with deceleration of 5𝑚/𝑠 2 . If the total distance
travelled is 1500 meters.
a) Find the distance covered during the acceleration.
b) Find the distance traveled at constant speed.
c) Find the total time of travel.

QUESTION 2. A stone is thrown vertically up from the


ground with a velocity of 91.44 m/s. How long must one
wait before dropping a second stone from the top of a
182.88-m tower if the two stones are to pass each other QUESTION 6. The coefficient of kinetic friction under block
60.96 m from the top of the tower? A in figure is 0.30 and under block B it is 0.20. Find the
acceleration of the system and the tension in each cord

QUESTION 3. Determine the velocity and displacement of


a body after 2 sec, if the motion is defined by the relation
𝑓𝑡
𝑎 = 4𝑡 + 4, a being in and if it is known that 𝑠 =
𝑠𝑒𝑐 2
4𝑓𝑡 and 𝑣 = 2𝑓𝑡 when 𝑡 = 1 𝑠𝑒𝑐.

QUESTION 4.The motion of a particle starting from rest is


governed by the a-t curve shown in the figure below.
Sketch the v-t and s-t curves. Determine the displacement QUESTION 7. A projectile is fired up the inclined plane at
at t=12sec. an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The plane is making an angle
of 30° from the horizontal. If the projectile was fired at 30°
from the incline, compute the maximum height z measured
perpendicular to the incline that is reached by the
projectile. Neglect air resistance.

QUESTION 8. Derive the three kinematic equations for


constant acceleration.
