Dynamics Assignment Set

This document contains an assignment set from the Mechanical Engineering Department at Debre Berhan University. It includes 7 problems related to engineering mechanics and dynamics. The problems involve calculating velocities, accelerations, ranges and angles related to objects undergoing various motions like trains accelerating along tracks, particles moving with changing speed, rocks being thrown upward, and mechanical arms rotating and sliding. Solutions are requested for determining velocities, accelerations, angles and distances for the objects at different points in their motions.

1. When a train is traveling along a straight track at 2 m/s, it begins to
accelerate at a = (60 V −4) m/s2, where v is in m/s. Determine its velocity v
and the position 3 s after the acceleration.

2. The particle passes point O at the speed of 8 m/s. Between O and B, the
speed increases at the rate of 4√ V m/s2, where v is the speed in m/s.
Determine the magnitude of the acceleration when the particle is (a) just to
the left of point A; and (b) just to the right of point A.

3. The firehose is being uncoiled from its reel at the constant speed of 2 m/s.
Determine the normal component of acceleration of point A on the rim of the
reel (a) at the instant shown in the figure; and (b) when almost all the hose
has left the reel.

4. A skateboarder rides down a parabolic half-pipe. The profile of the half pipe
is y = x2/80 m, where X is in meters. Determine the magnitude of the rider’s
acceleration at point A given that VA = 12 m/s and V̇ A= 4 m/s2.

5. A rock is thrown upward from the level ground in such a way that the
maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal range d. (a) At what
angle θ is the rock thrown? (b) What If? Would your answer to part (a) be
different on a different planet? (c) What is the range d max the rock can attain
if it is launched at the same speed but at the optimal angle for maximum
range?
6. The collar B slides on a rod that has the spiral shape described by R = 0.3−
0.4(θ/π) m. The pin attached to the collar engages a slot in the arm OA,
which is rotating at the constant angular speed θ̇ = 2 rad/s. Find the polar
components of the velocity and acceleration of collar B at (a) θ = 90 ° ; and (b)
θ = 60° .

7. The telescopic arm of the robot slides in the mount A, which rotates about a
horizontal axis at O. End B of the arm traces the vertical line shown with the
constant speed VB. In terms of VB, b, and θ, determine expressions for (a) θ̇
and Ṙ ; and (b) θ̈ and R̈ .
