Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.121P
The plank CDEhas a mass of 15 kg and rests on a small pivot at D. The 55-kg gymnast A is standing on the plank at C when the 70-kg gymnast B jumps from a height of 2.5 m and strikes the plank at E. Assuming perfectly plastic impact and that gymnast A is standing absolutely straight, determine the height to which gymnast A will rise.

The system is released from rest in the position
shown. The 15-kg cylinder falls through the hole in
the support, but the 15-kg collar (shown in section)
is removed from the cylinder as it hits the support.
Determine the distances which the 50-kg block
moves up the incline. The coefficient of kinetic fric-
tion between the block and the incline is 0.30, and
the mass of the pulley is negligible.
15 kg
50 kg
The system consists of the two smooth spheres, each
weighing 3 lb and connected by a light spring, and
the two bars of negligible weight hinged freely at
their ends and hanging in the vertical plane. The
spheres are confined to slide in the smooth horizontal
guide. If a horizontal force F = 10 lb is applied to the
one bar at the position shown, what is the accelera-
tion of the center C of the spring? Why does the re-
sult not depend on the dimension b?
In the figure, determine the maximum weight of body B that will permit the homogenous 50-lb block A to slide without tipping over.
