Assignment- 3

This document outlines an assignment for the Engineering Mechanics II course at Ethiopian Aviation University, focusing on dynamics problems involving tension, acceleration, and forces in various mechanical systems. It includes five problems related to block dynamics, cable tension, spring forces, rotational motion, and friction on a circular track. The assignment is due on November 28, 2024, and is supervised by professors from Addis Ababa University and Ethiopian Aviation University.

Assignment- 3 [Submission Date:28/11/2024]

1. Block B has a mass of 12-kg and is released from rest when it is on top of cart A, which has a mass of 36-kg. Determine
the tension in cord CD needed to hold the cart from moving while B slides down A. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between A and B is μk = 0.3

2. Motor M draws in the cable with an acceleration of 1.22 m/s², measured relative to the 90-kg mine car. Determine the
acceleration of the car and the tension in the cable. Neglect the mass of the pulleys.

3. The nonlinear spring has a tensile force-deflection relationship given by Fs = 150x + 400x2, where x is in meters and
Fs is in newtons. Determine the acceleration of the 6-kg block if it is released from rest at (a) x = 50 mm and (b) x =
100 mm.

4. The hollow tube assembly rotates about a vertical axis with angular velocity ɷ = 4 rad/s and ɑ = -2 rad/s2. A small
0.2-kg slider P moves inside the horizontal tube portion under the control of the string which passes out the bottom of
the assembly. If r = 0.8 m, 𝑟̇ = 4 m/s, and 𝑟̈ = 4 m/s2, determine the tension T in the string and the horizontal force
exerted on the slider by the tube.

5. A small collar of mass 2.5-kg is given an initial velocity of magnitude v0 = 1.2m/s on the horizontal circular
track fabricated from a slender rod. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.3, determine the distance
travelled before the collar comes to rest. (Hint: Recognize that the friction force depends on the net normal
force.)
