Problem 1: [?, 1417]
The 100 lb block slides down the inclined
plane for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is k = 0.25. If it is moving at 10 ft/s
when it reaches point A, determine the maximum deflection of the spring needed to momentarily arrest the motion.

Problem 2: [?, 1418]

The collar has a mass of 20 kg and rests on
the smooth rod. Two springs are attached to
it and the ends of the rod as shown. Each
spring has an uncompressed length of 1 m.
If the collar is displaced s = 0.50 m and released from rest, determine its velocity at the
instant it returns to point s = 0.

Problem 3: [?, 1434]

The block of weight W = 10 lb is pressed
against the spring (k = 100 lb/ft) so as to
compress it a distance = 2 ft when it is at
A. If the plane is smooth, determine the distance d, measured from the wall to where the
block strikes the ground. Neglect the size of
the block.

Problem 4: [?, 1555]

Block A has mass mA = 3 kg and is sliding
on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity
of vA,1 = 2 m/s when it makes a direct collision with block B, which has mass mB = 2 kg
and is originally at rest. If the collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocity of each
block just after the collision and the distance
between the blocks when they stop sliding.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
blocks and the plane is k = 0.30.

Problem 5: [?, 1556]

Disks A and B have a mass of 2 kg and
4 kg, respectively. If they have the velocities
shown, and e = 0.4, determine their velocities
just after direct central impact.

Problem 6: [?, 1559]

The ball of weight WA = 1 lb is thrown so
that when it strikes the block B of weight
WB = 10 lb it is traveling horizontally at
speed v = 20 ft/s. If the coefficient of restitution between A and B is e = 0.6, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the plate
and the block is k = 0.4, determine the distance block B slides before stopping.

Problem 7: [?, 1822]

The 20 kg disk is originally at rest, and the
spring holds it in equilibrium. A couple moment of M = 30 N m is then applied to the
disk as shown. Determine its angular velocity
at the instant its mass center G has moved
0.80 m down along the inclined plane. The
disk rolls without slipping.

The double pulley consists of two parts that
are attached to one another (r1 = 0.50 ft,
r2 = 1.0 ft). It has a weight of 50 lb and
a centroidal radius of gyration kO = 0.6 ft,
and is turning with an angular velocity of
= 20 rad/s clockwise. The weight of block
A is 20 lbs while block B weighs 30 lbs. Determine the kinetic energy of the system. Assume that neither cable slips on the pulley.

Problem 9: [?, 1830]

The assembly consists of two slender rods
each of length = 3 ft with weight Wr = 15 lb
and a Wd = 20 lb disk. If the spring is unstretched when = 45 and the assembly is
released from rest at this position, determine
the angular velocity of rod AB at the instant
= 0 . The disk rolls without slipping.
