independently. So help me God.”
1. If the coefficient of static friction between the block of mass m and the turntable is μs, determine the
maximum constant angular velocity of the platform without causing the block to slip.

∑ 𝐹𝑟 = 𝑚𝑎𝑟 ; −𝐹𝑟 = 𝑚𝑎𝑟

∑ 𝐹𝛳 = 𝑚𝑎𝛳 ; 𝐹𝛳 = 𝑚𝑎𝛳

∑ 𝐹𝑧 = 𝑚𝑎𝑧 ; 𝑁 − 𝑚𝑔 = 𝑚(0); 𝑁 = 𝑚𝑔

Let : r dot = ȧ
R double dot = ӓ
Theta dot = ⦲

Since r and ⦲ are constant, ȧ = ӓ = 0 and Ӫ = 0

𝑎𝑟 = ӓ − 𝑟⦲2 = 0 − 𝑟⦲2 = −𝑟⦲2

𝑎𝛳 = 𝑟Ӫ + 2ȧ⦲ = 0
 Substituting results

𝐹𝑟 = 𝑚𝑟⦲2 𝐹𝛳 = 0

Thus

𝐹 = √𝐹𝑟2 + 𝐹𝛳2 = √(𝑚𝑟⦲) + 0 = 𝑚𝑟⦲2

since

𝐹 = 𝜇𝑠 𝑁

2. Due to the constraint, the 0.5-kg cylinder C travels along the path described by r = (0.6 cos ϴ) m. If
arm OA rotates counterclockwise with an angular velocity of Ȯ = 2 rad/s and an angular acceleration of
ö = 0.8 rad/s2 at the instant ϴ = 30°, determine the force exerted by the arm on the cylinder at this
instant. The cylinder is in contact with only one edge of the smooth slot, and the motion occurs in the
horizontal plane.

Solution:

Let : r dot = ȧ
R double dot = ӓ
Theta dot = ⦲

𝑟 = [0.6𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛳]𝛳=30⁰ = 0.6𝑐𝑜𝑠30𝑜 = 0.5196𝑚

ȧ = [−0.6𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛳⦲]𝛳=30⁰ = −0.6𝑠𝑖𝑛30𝑜 (2) = −0.6 𝑚/𝑠

ӓ = −0.6[𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛳⦲2 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛳Ӫ]𝛳=30⁰ = −0.6[𝑐𝑜𝑠30𝑜 (22 ) + 𝑠𝑖𝑛30𝑜 (0.8)] = −2.318𝑚/𝑠 2

using the above time derivatives, we get

𝑎𝑟 = ӓ − 𝑟⦲2 = −2.318 − 0.5196(22 ) = −4.397 𝑚/𝑠 2

𝑎𝛳 = 𝑟Ӫ + 2ȧ⦲ = 0.5196(0.8) + 2(−0.6)(2) = −1.984 𝑚/𝑠 2

Referring to the drawing:

+ ∑ 𝐹𝑟 = 𝑚𝑎𝑟 ; −𝑁𝑐𝑜𝑠30𝑜 = 0.5(−4.397) 𝑁 = 2.539𝑁

+ ∑ 𝐹𝛳 = 𝑚𝑎𝛳 ; 𝐹𝑂𝐴 − 2.539𝑠𝑖𝑛30𝑜 = 0.5(−1.984)

Answer:
𝐹𝑂𝐴 = 0.277𝑁
3. The 6-kg block is confined to move along the smooth parabolic path. The attached spring restricts the
motion and, due to the roller guide, always remains horizontal as the block descends. If the spring has a
stiffness of k = 10 N/m, and unstretched length of 0.5 m, determine the normal force of the path on the
block at the instant x = 1 m when the block has a speed of 4 m/s. Also, what is the rate of increase in
speed of the block at this point? Neglect the mass of the roller and the spring.

4. The 1-kg collar is free to slide along smooth rod and its motion is defined by the relation
r = 2bsinωt and Ө = ωt2 where t is in seconds and r in meters, while b and ω are constants.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the rod on the collar at t =
2s. Show necessary.

5. Each tire on the 1350-kg car can support a maximum friction force parallel to the road
surface of 2500 N. This force limit is nearly constant over all possible rectilinear and
curvilinear car motions and is attainable only if the car does not skid. Under this maximum
braking, determine the total stopping distance s if the brakes are first applied at point A when
the car speed is 25 m/s and if the car follows the centerline of the road.
