- Dynamic Lecture: The 2 kg BC ring can only move left and right on the frictionless rigid arm. Ring BC is connected to springs with spring constants k = 300 N / m and k ′ = 200 N / m at points AB and CD. The unstretched length of both springs is 600 mm. Since it is known that the springs are not tensioned and starts from rest, find the velocity of the ring BC at the moment when the external force F is applied 200 mm.arrow_forwardWhen the 19-lb plunger is released from rest in its vertical guide at 0 = 0, each spring of stiffness k = 34 lb/in. is uncompressed. The links are free to slide through their pivoted collars and compress their springs.

By design the car cannot fall off the track, however motion of the car is developed by applying the car's brake, thereby gripping the car to the track and allowing it to move with a constant speed of the track, vt = 3 m/s. The rider applies the brake when going from B to A and then releases it at the top of the drum, A, so that the car coasts freely down along the track to B (0 = π rad). Neglect friction during the motion from A to B. The rider and car have a total mass of 390 kg and the center of mass of the car and rider moves along a circular path having a radius of R = 9.8 m.

- The rod AB with mass m and length / has light rollers at ends. The rod moves along the smooth horizontal surface with a constant velocity u when end A passes point C and begins to move on the curved portion of the path with radius r. If m 5 kg, 1 = 0.7 m, r = 0.5 m, and v = 0.5 m/sec, calculate the force exerted by the path on the roller A immediately after it passes C, by modelling the rod as a slender bar.
