1. The 300kg bar B, originally at rest, is being towed over a series of small rollers.
Determine the force in the cable when t =5s, if the motor M is drawing in the cable for a
short time at a rate of v = (0.4t2)m/s, where t is in seconds (0 t 6s). How far does the
bar move in 5s? Neglect the mass of the cable, pulley, and the rollers.

2. The 20kg crates is subjected to a force having a constant direction and a magnitude F
= 100N, where s is measured in meters. When s = 4m, the crate is moving to the right
with a speed 8m/s. Determine its speed when s = 25m. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the crate and the ground is k = 0.25 and the angle = 30.

3. Car A has weight of 22.5kN (2250kg) and is traveling to the right at 1m/s. Meanwhile a
15kN (1500kg) car B traveling at 2m/s to the left. If the cars crash head-on and become
entangled, determine their common velocity just after the collision. Assume that the
brakes are not applied during collision. Given VA = 1m/s and VB = 2m/s.
4. The two disks A and B have a mass 3kg and 5kg, respectively. If they collide with the
initial velocities shown, determine their velocities just after impact. The coefficient of
restitution, e= 0.65. Given that VA1 = 6m/s, VB1 = 7m/s and = 60.

5. A pitching machine throws the 0.5kg ball towards the wall with an initial velocity VA =
10 m/s as shown in figure below. The angle of = 30 and the height b = 1.5 m from the
ground level. Determine (a) the velocity at which it strikes the wall at B, (b) the velocity
at which it rebounds from the wall if e = 0.5, and (c) the distance s from the wall to where
it strikes the ground at C.
