The block has a mass of 50 kg and rests on the surface of

the cart having a mass of 75 kg. If the spring which is
attached to the cart and not the block is compressed 0.2 m
and the system is released from rest, determine the speed
of the block with respect to the cart after the spring becomes
undeformed. Neglect the mass of the wheels and the spring
in the calculation. Also neglect friction. Take k = 300 N>m.

The free-rolling ramp has a mass of 40 kg. A 10-kg crate is
released from rest at A and slides down 3.5 m to point B. If
the surface of the ramp is smooth, determine the ramps
speed when the crate reaches B. Also, what is the velocity of
the crate?

3.5 m

30

SOLUTION
Conservation of Energy: The datum is set at lowest point B. When the crate is at
point A, it is 3.5 sin 30 = 1.75 m above the datum. Its gravitational potential energy
is 1019.81211.752 = 171.675 N # m. Applying Eq. 1421, we have

Solving Eqs. (1), (3), and (4) yields

vR = 1.101 m>s = 1.10 m>s vC = 5.43 m>s

vC>R = 6.356 m>s

From Eq. (2)
vC = 30.866016.3562 - 1.1014i - 0.516.3562j = 54.403i - 3.178j6 m>s

Block A has a mass of 3 kg and is sliding on a rough horizontal
surface with a velocity 1vA21 = 2 m>s when it makes a direct
collision with block B, which has a mass of 2 kg and is
originally at rest. If the collision is perfectly elastic 1e = 12,
determine the velocity of each block just after collision and
the distance between the blocks when they stop sliding. The
coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the
