PROBLEM 13.

149

Bullet B weighs 0.5 oz and blocks A and C both weigh


3 lb. The coefficient of friction between the blocks
and the plane is µk = 0.25. Initially the bullet is
moving at v0 and blocks A and C are at rest (Figure 1).
After the bullet passes through A it becomes
embedded in block C and all three objects come to
stop in the positions shown (Figure 2). Determine the
initial speed of the bullet v0.

SOLUTION
Masses:
0.5
Bullet: mB = = 970.5 × 10−6 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft
(16)(32.2)
3
Blocks A and C: m A = mC = = 93.168 × 10−3 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft
32.2

Block C + bullet: mC + mB = 94.138 × 10−3 lb ⋅ s 2 /ft

Normal forces for sliding blocks from N − mg = 0

Block A: N A = m A g = 3.00 lb.


Block C + bullet: N C = (mC + mB ) g = 3.03125 lb.
Let v0 be the initial speed of the bullet;
v1 be the speed of the bullet after it passes through block A;
vA be the speed of block A immediately after the bullet passes through it;
vC be the speed block C immediately after the bullet becomes embedded in it.
Four separate processes and their governing equations are described below.
1. The bullet hits block A and passes through it. Use the principle of conservation of momentum.
(v A )0 = 0

mB v0 + mA (v A )0 = mB v1 + m Av A
mAv A
v0 = v1 + (1)
mB
2. The bullet hits block C and becomes embedded in it. Use the principle of conservation of momentum.
(vC )0 = 0
mB v1 + mC (vC )0 = (mB + mC )vC
(mB + mC )vC
v1 = (2)
mB

3. Block A slides on the plane. Use principle of work and energy.


T1 + U1→2 = T2
1 2µk N A d A
m Av A2 − µ k N A d A = 0 or v A = (3)
2 mA

4. Block C with embedded bullet slides on the plane. Use principle of work and energy.
dC = 4 in. = 0.33333 ft

T1 + U1→ 2 = T2
1 2 µk NC dC
(mC + mB )vC2 − µ k N C dC = 0 or vC = (4)
2 mC + mB

Applying the numerical data:


(2)(0.25)(3.03125)(0.33333)
From Eq. (4), vC =
94.138 × 10−3
= 2.3166 ft/s

(2)(0.25)(3.00)(0.5)
From Eq. (3), vA =
93.168 × 10−3
= 2.8372 ft/s
(94.138 × 10−3 )(2.3166)
From Eq. (2), v1 =
970.5 × 10−6
= 224.71 ft/s

(93.138 × 10−3 )(2.8372)


From Eq. (1), v0 = 224.71 + v0 = 497 ft/s
970.5 × 10−6
