A cigarettes dispenser requires a south African five-rand (R5) coin with a mass of 9.5 g to dispense one cigarette with a mass of 0.2 g. The design of such a cigarette dispenser is based on a helical spring, of negligible mass, which is found to extend 0.1 mm under a mass of 0.2 g. The spring can support a total mass of a coin. As the customer place money on the dispenser, the spring and coin system displace vertically through 4 mm and release.

A cigarettes dispenser requires a south African five-rand (R5) coin with a mass of 9.5 g to dispense one cigarette with a mass of 0.2 g. The design of such a cigarette dispenser is based on a helical spring, of negligible mass, which is found to extend 0.1 mm under a mass of 0.2 g. The spring can support a total mass of a coin. As the customer place money on the dispenser, the spring and coin system displace vertically through 4 mm and release. 1.1. Provide a schematic representation of the mass and spring system. 1.2. Calculate the frequency of natural vibration of the dispenser. 1.3. Determine the velocity of the coin when it is 2 mm below its resting position.
One end of a uniform 2.60m rod with a mass of 38.0kg is supported by a cable connecting one end to the wall so that the cable makes an angle of 42.0° with respect to the rod. The other end rests against the vertical wall, where it is held in place by friction so that the rod is perfectly horizontal. A sign with an unknown mass is hung from the rod 1.90m from the wall so that wall exerts a normal force of 1790N on the rod in the positive x-direction. What is the mass of the sign in kilograms?
A mass weighing 11.5 kg falls a distance of 1.5 m upon the top of a helical compression spring. Determine the force applied on the spring if it compressed 203mm. Please show your full solution with unit analysis. Subject: Machine Design
A 30kg mass is tied to a uniform rod whose mass and length are 80-kg and 8-m, as shown below. The rod is attached to the floor via a hinge and makes an angle of 70° relative to the ground; a massless string is also attached to the rod at the ¼ point of the rod and makes an angle of 20° relative to the horizontal. What tension must be provided by the rope so that the system remains in stationary? If at some point the string breaks, what will be the angular acceleration of the system the instant that the string breaks?
A sheep with a mass (m) 50 kg is hung on an animal scale system which consist of a helical spring of negligible mass. The stiffness (k) of the spring is 60 kN/m. During the hanging operation, the spring and the sheep are displaced vertically by 20 mm below the equilibrium position. 1.1. Draw a free body diagram and proof that a total length (L) of the scale system 2mg can be expressed as: L = k + Lo, where as Lo is the unstretched length of the spring. 1.2. Calculate the frequency of natural vibration of the system. 1.3. Calculate the velocity and acceleration of the sheep when it is 10 mm below the rest position.
A small particle with mass m is tied to a light rod (assume no mass) with length l.The rod is tied at the other end with a ball and socket joint with no friction. The rod is held in place in a horizontal position with a spring. The spring has a stiffness coefficient of k. Parallel to the spring is a dashpot. The rod is then pulled down below the equilibrium point, such that the rod creates an angle theta with the equilibrium point. The rod is held in this place before being released. Decide the damping coefficient c such that the oscillation will be a critically damped oscillation

1.4 The locomotive of a train can exert a maximum pull of 300 kN. The locomotive has a mass of 85 000 kg and the train a mass of 420 000 kg. Consider that the train is running up on an incline of 1 in 300 and the resistances to motion is 5.54 x 10-5 kN/kg Model the problem by drawing a free body diagram which suits to apply De Alembert's principle and calculate the maximum possible acceleration of the train. Suppose the train is running on a horizontal track with the acceleration of 0.4 m s?. By using De Alembert's principle, calculate the pull produced by the locomotive engine to get this acceleration. Assume the resistance to motion remains same as previous.
