Q4) In the figure shown to the right, in the absence of gravity the springs are
unstretched in the equilibrium position. (i) Determine the deflection of each
spring from its unstretched length when the system shown is in equilibrium. If
the system is released from the unstretched position of the springs, what is the
maximum angular velocity of the disk during the resulting motion

Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is
attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended
from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two
blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m)
because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal
surface on which block A (mass 2.50 kg) moves is frictionless. The
system is released from rest, and block B (mass 5.00 kg) moves
downward 1.80 m in 2.00 s. A)What is the tension force that the rope
exerts on block B ?B)What is the tension force that the rope exerts
on block A ?

- A baseball attachment that helps people with mobility impairments play T-ball and baseball is powered by a spring that is unstretched at position 2. The spring is attached to a cord that is fastened to point B on the 75-mm radius pulley. The pulley is fixed at point O , rotates backwards to the cocked position at 0 , and the rope wraps around the pulley and stretches the spring with a stiffness of k = 2000 N/m. The combined mass moment of inertia of all the rotating components about point O is 0.40 kg·m2. The swing is timed perfectly to strike a 145-gram baseball travelling with a speed of V0 = 10 m/s at a distance of h = 0.7 m away from point O. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the bat and ball is 0.59, determine the velocity of the baseball immediately after the impact.
