The trapeze/lanyard air drop (t/LAD) launch is a proposed innovative method for airborne launch of a payload-carrying rocket. The release sequence involves several steps as shown in (1), where the payload rocket is shown at various instances during the launch. To investigate the first step of this process, where the rocket body drops freely from the carrier aircraft until the 2-m lanyard stops the vertical motion of B, a trial rocket is tested as shown in (2). The rocket can be considered a uniform 1 × 7-m rectangle with a mass of 4000 kg. Knowing that the rocket is released from rest and falls vertically 2 m before the lanyard becomes taut, determine the angular velocity of the rocket immediately after the lanyard is taut.

- A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 3.4 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 5.0 m to one side of the point directly under the ball. When a button is pressed, the ball drops and, simultaneously, the cannon fires a 25 g plastic ball. The two balls collide 1.2 m above the floor. What was the launch speed of the plastic ball?arrow_forwardJumping up before the elevator hits. After the cable snaps and the safety system fails, an elevator cab free-falls from a height of 34 m. During the collision at the bottom of the elevator shaft, a 90 kg passenger is stopped in 6.0 ms. (Assume that neither the passenger nor the cab rebounds.)

- 1.A person is to be released from rest on a swing pulled away from the vertical by an angle of 20.0°. The two frayed ropes of the swing are 2.75 m long, and will break if the tension in either of them exceeds 355 N. (a) What is the maximum weight the person can have and not break the ropes? (b)If the person is released at an angle greater than 20.0°, does the maximum weight increase, decrease, or stay the same?

When an oblique impact occurs between two smooth particles, the particles move away from each other with velocity vectors that have unknown directions and unknown magnitudes. If the y axis is within the plane of contact and the x axis is the line of impact, the impulsive forces of deformation and restitution act only along the line of impact (the x axis). Momentum of the system is conserved along the line of impact (the x axis): ∑m(vx)1=∑m(vx)2 The coefficient of restitution, e, relates the relative-velocity components of the particles along the line of impact (the x axis): e=(vBx)2−(vAx)2(vAx)1−(vBx)1 The momenta of both particles A and B are conserved in the plane of contact (the y axis) because no impulse acts on either particle in this plane. Therefore, the y component of the velocities before and after the collisions remains unchanged: (vy)1=(vy)2 As shown,…arrow_forwardOblique Impact To analyze an oblique impact using the conservation of momentum and coefficient of restitution.

- If either a simple or a compound pendulum is used to determine experimentally the acceleration of gravity g, difficulties are encountered. In the case of the simple pendulum, the string is not truly weightless, while in the case of the compound pendulum, the exact location of the mass center is difficult to establish. In the case of a compound pendulum, the difficulty can be eliminated by using a reversible, or Kater, pendulum. Two knife edges A and B are placed so that they are obviously not at the same distance from the mass center G, and the distance l is measured with great precision. The position of a counterweight D is then adjusted so that the period of oscillation τ obtained is equal to that of a true simple pendulum of length l and that g 4π2 l/τ.arrow_forwardA new construction crane has the following specifications: The hook has mass 1000kg the maximum capacity of the hook is 400kg. the constant lifting speed of the hook is 1.5?, and the hook must achieve this speed in 2 seconds at a constant acceleration, beginning at rest.

The acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g and air resistance is negligible. a) Determine the horizontal distance traveled by block 2as a projectile. b)Determine the speed and direction of motion of block 1 right after the collision. c) Determine the maximum angular displacement (measured from the vertical direction) of block 1 after the collision.arrow_forward

Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A model rocket is launched from point A with an initial velocity vo of 96 m/s. Also, the rocket's descent parachute does not deploy and the rocket lands a distance d=100 m from A. d= 100 m B Determine the maximum height above point A reached by the rocket.

Put notes on steps. The wooden block (mass m = 0.6165 kg) is released from rest at A by a compressed spring (compressed length 0.6 m, undeformed length 1 m, spring constant k = 150 N/m). The block is allowed to slide through the rough horizontal surface (A to B), then along the smooth circular ramp (B to C, central angle 0 = 45°, until the block is released after point C. Calculate the speed of the block at points B and C. Also, what is the magnitude of the normal force exerted to the block just before the block leaves the ramp? Neglect the geometry of the block.NOTE: Use Work-Energy Method to solve for the speeds; use Force-Mass-Acceleration (FMA) Method to compute for the normal force.arrow_forward
