1. The jet aircraft has total mass of 22 Mg and a center of mass at G. Initially at take
off the engines provides thrusts 2T = 4 kN and T’ = 1.5 kN. Determine the acceleration
of the plane and the normal reactions on the nose wheel and each of the two wing
wheels located at B. Neglect the mass of the wheels and, due to low velocity, neglect
any lift caused by the wings.
2. A force of P = 300 N is applied to the 60-kg cart. Determine the reactions at both
the wheels at A and both the wheels at B. Also, what is the acceleration of the cart?
The mass center of the cart is at G.
Ans: P = 314 N
4. The two uniform 4-kg bars DC and EF are fixed (welded) together at E. Determine
the normal force NE, shear force VE, and moment ME, which DC exerts on EF at E if
at the instant θ = 60˚ BC has an angular velocity ω = 2 rad/s and an angular
acceleration α = 4 rad/s2 as shown.
8. The spool has a mass of 100 kg and a radius of gyration of kG = 0.3 m. If the
coefficients of static and kinetic friction at A are μS = 0.2 and μk = 0.15, respectively,
determine the angular acceleration of the spool if P = 600 N.
9. If a disk rolls without slipping, show that when moments are summed about the
instantaneous center of zero velocity, IC, it is possible to use the moment equation
∑MIC = IICα, where IIC represents the moment of inertia of the disk calculated about the
instantaneous axis of zero velocity.
10. A force of F = 10 N is applied to the 10-kg ring as shown. If slipping does not occur,
determine the ring’s initial angular acceleration, and the acceleration of its mass center,
G. Neglect the thickness of the ring.
