Textbook Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 11.37P
A small package is released from rest at A and moves along the skate wheel conveyor ABCD. The package has a uniform acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 as it moves down sections AB and CD, and its velocity is constant between B and C. If the velocity of the package at D is 72 m/s, determine (a) the distance d between C and D, (b) the time required for the package to reach D.

2. A stopper holds block A so that block A and block C do not move initially. Suddenly, the
stopper is removed, and block C moves down with a constant acceleration. After block A has
moved 1.5 m, a speed of block A is measured to be 0.6 m/s. Detemine the change of position
of block B at the moment.
A car moved on a horizontal path from rest at constant acceleration from point A until it reached its maximum speed when passing by
At point b it took 4 seconds, and after point B it continued its movement but at a slowdown of -3 m / s2 until it stopped at c

No. 66.7 ft/sarrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. Airplane A is flying horizontally with a speed of 218 km/h which is increasing at the rate of 4.8 km/h each second and is towing the glider B, which is gaining altitude. If the tow cable has a length r = 80 m, and the cable is unreeling at the constant rate r = 1.8 m/s while 0 = 19° is kept constant, determine the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a of the glider.
