    1. If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and achieves a velocity of v = 4 m/s when it travels
    a distance of 5 m to the right, determine the magnitude of force P acting on the
    crate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ground is μk =
    0.3.

    Fig. (1)

    2. Block A has a weight of 8 lb and block B has a weight of 6 lb. They rest on a
    surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 𝜇𝑘 = 0.2. If the spring
    has a stiffness of k = 20 lb/ft, and it is compressed 0.2 ft, determine the
    acceleration of each block just after they are released.

    where t is in seconds, determine the 50-kg crate’s velocity when t =
    5s. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the crate
    and the ground are 𝝁𝒔 = 0.4 and 𝝁𝒔 = 0.3, respectively. Initially the
    crate is at rest.

    4. The coefficients of friction between the load and the flatbed trailer
    shown are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30. Knowing that the speed of
    the rig is 72 km/h, determine the shortest distance in which the
    rig can be brought to a stop if the load is not to shift.

    The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the
    ground is mk = 0.3.

    SOLUTION
    Kinematics: The acceleration a of the crate will be determined first since its motion
    is known.
    (: + ) v2 = v 2 + 2a (s - s )
    0 c 0

    2 2
    4 = 0 + 2a(5 - 0)

    a = 1.60 m>s2 :

    Free-Body Diagram: Here, the kinetic friction Ff = mkN = 0.3N is required to be


    directed to the left to oppose the motion of the crate which is to the right, Fig. a.

    Equations of Motion:

    + c ©Fy = may; N + P sin 30° - 50(9.81) = 50(0)

    N = 490.5 - 0.5P

    Using the results of N and a,

    :
    + ©F = ma ;
    x x P cos 30° - 0.3(490.5 - 0.5P) = 50(1.60)

    P = 224 N Ans.

    Ans:
    P = 224 N
    Block A has a weight of 8 lb and block B has a weight of 6 lb. A B
    They rest on a surface for which the coefficient of kinetic k
    friction is mk = 0.2. If the spring has a stiffness of k = 20 lb>ft,
    and it is compressed 0.2 ft, determine the acceleration of each
    block just after they are released.

    Solution
    Block A:
    8
    + ΣFx = max;  4 - 1.6 =
    d a
    32.2 A

    aA = 9.66 ft>s2 d  Ans.

    + ΣFx = max;  4 - 12 =
    S aB
    32.2
    aB = 15.0 ft>s2 S  Ans.

    Ans:
    aA = 9.66 ft>s2 d
    aB = 15.0 ft>s2 S
    If the force exerted on cable AB by the motor is A B
    F = (100t3>2) N, where t is in seconds, determine the 50-kg
    crate’s velocity when t = 5 s. The coefficients of static and
    kinetic friction between the crate and the ground are ms = 0.4
    and mk = 0.3, respectively. Initially the crate is at rest.

    SOLUTION
    Free-Body Diagram: The frictional force Ff is required to act to the left to oppose
    the motion of the crate which is to the right.

    Equations of Motion: Here, ay = 0. Thus,

    + c ©Fy = may; N - 50(9.81) = 50(0)

    N = 490.5 N

    Realizing that Ff = mkN = 0.3(490.5) = 147.15 N,

    + c ©Fx = max; 100t3>2 - 147.15 = 50a

    a = A 2t3>2 - 2.943 B m>s

    Equilibrium: For the crate to move, force F must overcome the static friction of
    Ff = msN = 0.4(490.5) = 196.2 N. Thus, the time required to cause the crate to be
    on the verge of moving can be obtained from.

    :
    + ©F = 0;
    x 100t3>2 - 196.2 = 0

    t = 1.567 s

    Kinematics: Using the result of a and integrating the kinematic equation dv = a dt


    with the initial condition v = 0 at t = 1.567 as the lower integration limit,

    (:
    + ) dv = adt
    L L

    dv = A 2t3>2 - 2.943 B dt
    L0 L1.567 s

    v = A 0.8t5>2 - 2.943t B 2
    1.567 s
    v = A 0.8t5>2 - 2.943t + 2.152 B m>s

    When t = 5 s,

    v = 0.8(5)5>2 - 2.943(5) + 2.152 = 32.16 ft>s = 32.2 ft>s Ans.

    Ans:
    v = 32.2 ft>s
    The coefficients of friction between the load and the flat-bed
    trailer shown are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30. Knowing that the
    speed of the rig is 72 km/h, determine the shortest distance in
    which the rig can be brought to a stop if the load is not to shift.

    SOLUTION
    Load: We assume that sliding of load relative to trailer is impending:
    F = Fm
    = μs N

    Deceleration of load is same as deceleration of trailer, which is the maximum allowable deceleration a max .

    ΣFy = 0: N − W = 0 N = W

    Fm = μ s N = 0.40 W

    ΣFx = ma : Fm = mamax

    W
    0.40 W = amax amax = 3.924 m/s 2
    g

    a max = 3.92 m/s 2


    Uniformly accelerated motion.

    v 2 = v02 + 2ax with v = 0 v0 = 72 km/h = 20 m/s

    a = − amax = 3.924 m/s 2


    0 = (20)2 + 2( −3.924) x x = 51.0 m 
