Take the starting point as the origin and neglect air resistance. Ans. (a) mex = 20.387 m (6) ¢ = 4.077 sec ‘A train is moving down a slope of 0.008 with a velocity of 36 Ap [Ata certain instant the engineer applies the brakes and produces a total resistance to motion equal 10 one-tenth of the weight of the train. What distance will the train travel before stopping? Ans 554m | An elevator weighing 00 Ag is moving upward with a uniform velocity of 4 m/sec. In what distance will it stop afer the power shunt OfT if the fiction foree opposing the motion is 100 N. Ans oem To determine experimentally the coefficient of friction between 1W0 materials, a small block of weight W = 10g is projected with initial velocity v= 10m/sec along a horizontal plane covered With the same material. Ifthe block travels @ total distance 15 m before coming to rest, what isthe coefficient of fiction? Ans. 034 . Referring to Fig. A, find the acceleration a of the falling weight P=10kg if the Coefficient of friction between the block Q=12kg and the horizontal plane on Which i sides is 4 = the plley an ition on tsa. ds. a = 322 ‘tsi moves wit uniform speed of 10 m/s along ash lve tock At erin isan the engineer moves the thote 50a tO increase te tracton by 20 percent What distance wl he train cover before sequin a speed of 15%m/s i th resistance motion is constant and eu 0 = ofthe weight of the tin? Ans. 6371 m {A police investigation of ire marks shows that a car ravelling along 8 straight level street had skidded for a total distance of $0 m after the brakes were applied. The coefficient of fiction between ties and pavement is estimated tobe = 0.6. What was the probable speed of the ear when the brakes were applied? Ans. 24.261 m/sec A small block of weight W rests on an adjustable inclined plane as shown in Fig. B. Friction is such that sliding of the block impends when « = 30°. What 2 uae acceleration will the block have when. ~— pg. 45°7 Neglect any difference between static and kinetic frictions. ‘Ans, 293m/s" 1. Two. small cars of ‘weights W = 200 N and W, = 100N ‘ae ‘connected by a exible bout inestensible string ‘overrunning a pulley Cand are free to roll on tn inclined plane as shown in Fig. C. If the _ cars are released from rest in the positions shown, find the time t required for them to exchange postions.
