1. Chapter 3, Practice Problem 3/050 (detailed solution attached)


The slotted arm OA rotates about a horizontal axis through point O. The 0.17-kg slider P moves with negligible friction

in the slot and is controlled by the inextensible cable BP. For the instant under consideration, ,

rad/s, , and m. Determine the corresponding values of the tension T in cable BP


and the force reaction R perpendicular to the slot. The force R is positive if the contact comes from the lower edge of
the slot and negative if the contact comes from the top edge.

2. Chapter 3, Problem 3/093


A small object is released from rest at A and slides with friction down the circular path. If the coefficient of friction is
0.29, determine the velocity of the object as it passes B. (Hint: Write the equations of motion in the n- and
t-directions, eliminate N, and substitute v dv = atr d. The resulting equation is a linear nonhomogeneous differential
equation of the form dy/dx + f(x)y = g(x), the solution of which is well known.

3. Chapter 3, Practice Problem 3/052


The small cart of mass m is nudged with negligible velocity from its horizontal position at A onto the parabolic path,
which lies in a vertical plane. Neglect friction and show that the cart maintains contact with the path for all values of
k. Then calculate the normal force N under the cart if m = 3.0 kg, k = 3.8 m-1, and x = 3.0 m.

4. Chapter 3, Problem 3/045


The rod of the fixed hydraulic cylinder is moving to the left with a speed of 109 mm/s and this speed is momentarily
increasing at a rate of 360 mm/s each second at the instant when sA = 360 mm. Determine the tension in the cord at
that instant. The mass of slider B is 0.46 kg, the length of the cord is 1024 mm, and the effects of the radius and
friction of the small pulley at A are negligible. Find results for cases (a) negligible friction at slider B and (b) k = 0.34
at slider B. The action is in a vertical plane.

Answers:

*1
(a) Negligible friction: T= N
*2
