plane about the fixed vertical axis through
point O. The 3-lb slider C is drawn toward O
at the constant rate of 2 in. /sec by pulling
the cord S. At the instant for which r = 9 in.,
the arm has a counterclockwise angular
velocity w = 6 rad /sec and is slowing down
at the rate of 2 rad /sec2. For this instant,

slider by the sides of the smooth radial slot.

contacts the slider.

15. The slider of mass m1 = 0.4 kg moves along

the smooth support surface with velocity v1 =

negotiating the curved portion, it moves onto
the inclined face of an initially stationary block
of mass m2 = 2 kg. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the slider and the block is µk

block. Neglect friction at the small wheels,
and neglect any effects associated with the
transition.
16. The 1.2-lb sphere is moving in the horizontal
x-y plane with a velocity of 10 ft /sec in the

moves in the new direction shown with a

the puck for 0.04 s, compute the magnitude of
the average force F exerted by the stick on
the puck during contact, and fi nd the angle β
made by F with the x-direction.
18. The third and fourth stages of a rocket are
coasting in space with a velocity of 18 000
km/h when a small explosive charge between
the stages separates them. Immediately after
separation the fourth stage has increased its
velocity to v4 = 18 060 km / h. What is the
corresponding velocity v3 of the third stage?
At separation the third and fourth stages have
masses of 400 and 200 kg, respectively.
