Task 2 (a) The sports car, having a mass of 1900 kg, travels horizontally along a 20° banked track which is circular and has a radius of p= 100 m. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 4, = 0.2, determine the maximum constant speed at which the car can travel without sliding up the slope. Neglect the size of the car. (b) Find all the forces on the car of part (a). (c) If the car is treated as a rigid body, draw the free-body-diagram. Task 3 Provide a practical application of three interconnected rigid bodies such that two of them rotate about a fixed axis and the third one has translational motion. Assume the dimensions of the three bodies, and speeds and accelerations of the two rotating rigid bodies. Find the speed and acceleration of translating rigid body.
Block A has a weight of 60 lb and block B has a weight of 10 lb. Neglect friction and the mass of the cord and pulleys. The figure shows a system of pulleys and blocks. Block A is located on an inclined surface with a slope of three-fourths. Block B is vertically suspended by a cord that goes over a pulley located at the top end of the inclined surface. The cord then goes downward and to the left, parallel to the slope, then it goes over a pulley fixed to the upper right end of block A. Then the cord goes upward and to the right parallel to the slope. The end of the cord is fixed to the anchor. Determine the speed of block A after it moves 5.7 ft down the plane, starting from rest.
