Q1

A rigid block of mass m1 = 10 kg having velocity v0 = 2 m/s strikes a


stationary block of mass m2 = 30 kg after traveling 1 m along a
frictionless horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The two masses
stick together and jointly move by a distance of 0.25 m further along the
same frictionless surface before they touch the mass-less buffer that is
connected to the rigid vertical wall by means of a linear spring having a
spring constant k = 105 N/m. The maximum deflection of the spring is
_____________ cm (round off to 2 decimal places).
Q2
A railway wagon (A) of mass 10,000 kg collides with another
identical wagon (B) as shown in the figure. If A is moving at 5
m/s and B is at rest at the time of collision, calculate the
maximum compression in the spring S with a spring constant
of 2 MN/m.
Q3
The 6 kg cylinder is released from rest in the position shown and
falls on the spring, which has been initially pre-compressed 50
mm by the light strap and restraining wires. If the stiffness of the
spring is 4 kN/m, compute the additional deflection S of the
spring produced by the falling cylinder before it rebounds.
Q4
The 10-kg slider moves with negligible friction up the inclined guide. The
attached spring has a stiffness of 60 N/m and is stretched 0.6 m in position
A, where the slider is released from rest. The 250-N force is constant and
the pulley offers negligible resistance to the motion of the cord. Calculate
the velocity vc of the slider as it passes point C.
Q5
The object of the pinball-type game is to project the particle so that
it enters the hole at E. When the spring is compressed and suddenly
released, the particle is projected along the track, which is smooth
except for the rough portion between points B and C, where the
coefficient of kinetic friction is µk. The particle becomes a projectile
at point D. Determine the correct spring compression δ so that the
particle enters the hole at E. State any necessary conditions relating
the lengths d and ρ.
Q6
The spring has an unstretched length of 0.4 m and a stiffness of
200 N/m. The 3-kg slider and attached spring are released from
rest at A and move in the vertical plane. Calculate the velocity v
of the slider as it reaches B in the absence of friction
Q7
The spring of constant K is un-stretched when the slider of mass m
passes position B. If the slider is released from rest in position A,
determine its speed as it passes points B and C. What is the normal
force exerted by the guide on the slider at position C? Neglect friction
between the mass and the circular guide, which lies in a vertical plane.
Q8
The 10-kg collar slides on the smooth vertical rod and has a velocity u1 =
2 m/s in position A where each spring is stretched 0.1 m. Calculate the
velocity u2 of the collar as it passes point B.
Q9
The15 kg homogenous cylindrical disk is given a clockwise angular
velocity of 2 rad/s with the spring un-stretched. The spring constant is
k = 43.8 N/m. If the disk rolls, how far will its center move to the right?
(A) 0.43 m
(B) 1.5 m
(C) 0.75 m
(D) 2 m
Q10
At the instant shown, the 50 N bar rotates clockwise at 2 rad/s. The
spring attached to its end always remains vertical due to the roller guide
at C. If the spring has an un-stretched length of 2 m and a stiffness of k =
6 N/m, determine the angular velocity of the bar the instant it has rotated
30° clockwise.
(A) ω = 2.3 rad/s
(B) ω = 3.9 rad/s
(C) ω = 1.7 rad/s
(D) ω = 0.4 rad/s
