2. Determine the accellleration of bodies A nd B and the tension in the cable due to
the application of 300 N force. Neglect all frictions and the masses of pulleys.
2. The sliders A and B are connected by a lightrigid bar and move with
negligible friction in theslots, both of which lie in a horizontal plane.For the
position shown, the velocity of A is0.4 m/s to the right. Determine the
accelerationof each slider and the force in the barat this instant.

4. With the blocks initially at rest, the force P is increased slowly from zero to
260 N. Plot the accelerations of both masses as functions of P.
5. The 4-kg slider is released from rest at A and slides with a neglible friction
down the circular rod in the vertical plane. Detrmine a) velocity v of the slider
as it reaches the bottom at B and b) the maximum deformation x of the spring.
6. The 6 kg slider is released from rest at point A and slides with neglible
friction in vertical plane along circular rod. The attached spring has a stiffiness
of 20 kN/m and has unstretched length of 24 cm. Determine the velocity of the
slider as it passes position B

7. Blocks A and B have masses mA and mB respectively. They are placed
on a smooth surface and the spring connected between them is stretched
a distance d. If they are released from rest, determine the speeds of both
blocks the instant the spring becomes unstretched.
mA = 40 kg d=2m
mB = 60 kg k =180N/m
9. The “stone” A used in the sport of curling slides over the ice track and
strikes another “stone” B as shown. If each “stone” is smooth and has
weight W= 2kg, and the coefficient of restitution between the “stones”
is, e=0.8, determine their speeds just after collision. Initially A has
velocity VAl=18 m/s with = 300 while B is at rest.( Neglect friction).
