Question 1: Each of the three balls in Figure 1, has mass m and is welded to the rigid
equiangular frame of negligible mass. The assembly rests on a smooth horizontal surface. If
a force F is suddenly applied to one bar shown, determine (a) the acceleration of the point O
and (b) the angular acceleration θ̈ of the frame.

Question 2: The small car shown in Figure 2, has a mass of 20 kg, rolls freely on the horizontal
track and carries the 5-kg sphere mounted on the light rotating rod with r = 0.4 m. A geared
motor drive maintains a constant angular speed θ = 4 rad/s of the rod. If the car has a velocity
v = 0.6 m/s when θ = 0◦ , calculate v when θ = 60◦ . Neglect the mass of the wheels and any
friction.

Question 3: The two spheres, depicted in Figure 3, are rigidly connected to the rod of neg-
ligible mass and are initially at rest on the smooth horizontal surface. A force F is suddenly

applied to one sphere in the y-direction and imparts an impulse of 10 N-s during a negligibly
short period of time. As the spheres pass the dashed position, calculate the velocity of each one.

Question 4: The three small spheres, each of mass m, are secured to the light rods to form
a rigid unit supported in the vertical plane by the smooth circular surface (refer Figure 4).
The force of constant magnitude P is applied perpendicular to one rod at its midpoint. If the
unit starts from rest at θ =0, determine (a) the minimum force Pmin which will bring the unit
to rest at θ = 600 , and (b) the common velocity v of spheres 1 and 2, when θ = 600 , if P = 2Pmin .

Question 5: As shown in Figure 5, a high speed jet of air issues from the nozzle A with
a velocity of vA and mass flow rate of 0.36 kg/s. The air impinges on a vane causing it to rotate
to the position shown. The vane has a mass of 6 kg. Knowing that the magnitude of the air
velocity is equal at A and B, determine, (a) the magnitude of the velocity at A, and (b) the
components of the reactions at O.

Question 6: The end of a chain of length L and mass ρ per unit length which is piled on
a platform is lifted vertically with a constant velocity v by a variable force P (refer Figure 6).
Find P as a function of the height x of the end above the platform. Also find the energy lost
during the lifting of the chain.
