(1) A 2000-kg car is stopped from an initial speed of 100 kph in a distance of 75 m.
Assuming that all four wheels contribute equally
to the braking force, determine the braking force

constant deceleration.
(2) The 50-kg crate is resting on a 15-degree 50 kg
inclined plane. The coefficient of static friction is P
150
0.20 and coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15 at

plane. If a force P, acting upward and parallel to
the inclined plane is applied to the crate,

(5) A 0.5-kg block slides on a circular

path of radius 4 m in a vertical plane. It is

(7) A weight of 450 N is attached to a rope which is wrapped around a 1-m diameter
solid cylinder weighing 1400 N. The cylinder rotates about its horizontal axis. Compute

deformed 100 mm? Ans close to 4.66 m/s
(9) A golf ball is dropped from a height of 20 ft upon a hardened steel plate. The
coefficient of restitution is 0.894. Find the height to which the ball rebounds on the first,
second, and third bounces.
(10) A ball is thrown with velocity of 50 ft per sec directed 600 with the horizontal

6 ft above the level ground and travels in the vertical plane. The coefficient of restitution

(13) The simple 2-kg pendulum is released
