ME 211 Advanced Dynamics (Fall 2014)

Exam 1 (Tue, 10/7/14, 6:20-8:20PM)


Only allow one 2-faced cheat sheet, submit with the exam paper.
Problem 1 (20 points):
The box slides down the helical ramp such that r = 0.5m, = (0.5t3) rad, and z = (2-0.2t2) m,
where t is in seconds.
a) (10 pts) Determine the velocity of the box when = 2 (vector form and magnitude).
b) (10 pts) Determine the acceleration of the box when = 2 (vector form and magnitude).

Problem 2 (30 points):


Bar AB has a counterclockwise angular velocity of 10
rad/s and a clockwise angular acceleration of 300 rad/s2.
a) (10 pts) What is angular accelerations of bar BC?
b) (10 pts) What is angular accelerations of bar CD?
c) (10 pts) What is acceleration vector of point C?

Problem 3 (30 points):


A wheel of radius r spins with a constant angular velocity =
about its axis of symmetry. This axis makes an angle with the
vertical that changes at a constant rate . This axis also rotates
around z-axis at a constant rate . The center of the wheel is
moving away from global origin with a constant velocity v. The
angle is measured in the plane of the wheel and specifies the
location of P relative to a horizontal diameter through O.
Find the acceleration of a point P on the wheel (vector form), using
spherical unit vectors er, e, e, when = 30o, = 60o and = 45o.
Note: do not plug in numbers until the very end.

Problem 4 (20 points):


A small body modeled as a particle P of mass m = 20 g, is constrained to slide on a nonrotating frictionless
parabolic track y = ax2, where a = 1/3. The particle is connected to a spring with stiffness k = 9 N/m and unstressed
length Lu = h = 1.2 m. P is release at point A, where xA = -1.5 m, with an initial velocity, down the track, of
magnitude va = 6 m/s.
a) (10 pts) Determine, analytically, the location(s) where
P achieve maximum height ymax?
b) (10 pts) Determine the reaction force exerted on P by
the track as a function of x. Where does the maximum
force occur? What is the max force magnitude?
