Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 34P
Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering
Three blocks are connected by a weightless cord and rest on an inclined plane (Fig. P12.34a). Employing a procedure similar to the one used in the analysis of the falling parachutists in Example 9.11 yields the following set of simultaneous equations (free-body diagrams are shown in Fig. P12.34b):
100a+T=519.72
50a−T+R=216.55
20a−R=108.28
Solve for acceleration a and the tensions T and R in the two ropes.

(b) Let I[y] be a functional of y(x) defined by
[[y] = √(x²y' + 2xyy' + 2xy + y²) dr,
subject to boundary conditions
y(0) = 0,
y(1) = 1.
State the Euler-Lagrange equation for finding extreme values of I [y] for this prob-
lem. Explain why the function y(x) = x is an extremal, and for this function,
show that I = 2. Without doing further calculations, give the values of I for the
functions y(x) = x² and y(x) = x³.
