8.1 Introduction
Kinetics is the study of the relations between the forces
and the motion. Here we will not seriously concern
whether the forces cause the motion or the motion
generates the forces (causality).
8.1 Introduction
Ch. 8: Kinetics of Particles 417
F = ma
m = mass (resistance to rate of change of velocity) of the particle
F = resultant force acting on the particle
a = resulting acceleration measured in a nonaccelerating frame of reference
Unconstrained motion
Motion of the particle is determined by its initial motion and
the forces from external sources. It is free of constraints
and so has three degrees of freedom to specify
the position. Three scalar equations of motion would
have to be applied and integrated to obtain the motion.
Constrained motion
Motion of the particle is partially or totally determined by
restraining guides, other than its initial motion and the
forces from external sources. Therefore, all forces, both
applied and reactive, that act on the particle must be
accounted for in Newtons law. The number of d.o.f. and
equations are reduced regarding to the type of constraints.

If the crate is not to slip, crate and truck must have same acceleration.
If the crate is not to slip, friction = static friction at impending status.

P. 8/2 If the truck of Prob. 3/17 comes to stop from an initial forward
speed of 70 km/h in a distance of 50 m with uniform deceleration,
determine whether or not the crate strikes the wall at the forward
end of the flat bed. If the crate does strike the wall, calculate its
speed relative to the truck as the impact occurs. Use the friction
coefficients s = 0.3 and k = 0.25.

At 50, F = Fs = s N and directs upward because gsin50 > 2 F
which means bar OA rotates too slow than required to keep
the block stays on the bar. The friction will develop to resist
(
the block from sliding down or to match F with 2 .)
If the bar rotates very very slow, friction force cannot make
(
F to match 2 F cannot be reduced any more, F > 2 . )
And then the block will slide down, hence decreases, to the position
where v 2 / large enough to match F (i.e., to satisfy Newton's law)
