# 7.10: Problems


##### Problem $$7.1$$

The lunar module is designed to make a safe landing on the moon if its vertical velocity at impact is $$V_{\max } \leq 5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is $$1 / 6$$ the value on Earth, $$g_{\text { moon}}=g_{\text { Earth}} / 6$$.

(a) Using the work-energy principle (conservation of energy), determine the maximum height $$h$$ above the surface of the moon at which the pilot can safely shut off the engine when the velocity of the lunar module relative to the moon's surface is (i) zero; (ii) $$3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ up; and (iii) $$3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ down.

(b) Repeat Part (a), only this time using conservation of linear momentum. Is one approach easier than the other?

##### Problem $$7.2$$

The collar $$A$$ slides on a smooth horizontal bar and is attached to the hanging mass $$B$$ by a cord as shown in the figure. The collar $$A$$ has mass $$m_{A}=30 \mathrm{~kg}$$, and the hanging mass $$B$$ has mass $$m_{B}=60 \mathrm{~kg}$$. Assume that the mass of the cord and the mass of the frictionless pulley are negligible. If the collar is initially stationary, determine the velocity of collar $$A$$ after it has moved $$0.5$$ meters to the right.

Figure $$\PageIndex{1}$$: A sliding collar is connected to a hanging mass by a cord and frictionless pulley.

##### Problem $$7.3$$

Repeat Problem $$7.2$$ assuming that the coefficients of static and sliding friction between collar $$A$$ and the horizontal bar are $$0.4$$ and $$0.3$$, respectively.

A careful examination of how the cable is connected to collar $$A$$ indicates that there are extra normal forces between the collar and the bar. These extra forces keep the collar from rotating and form a force couple. For our analysis, you may neglect the normal forces due to this couple. However, consider how you could estimate these forces and how they would change your answer.

##### Problem $$7.4$$

Repeat Problem $$8.2$$ assuming that the mass $$B$$ is replaced by a constant force $$T = 600 \mathrm{~N}$$.

##### Problem $$7.5$$

The collar $$A$$ slides on a smooth horizontal bar and is attached to the hanging mass $$B$$ by a cord as shown in the figure. The collar $$A$$ has mass $$m_A = 14 \mathrm{~kg}$$, and the hanging mass $$B$$ has mass $$m_B = 18 \mathrm{~kg}$$. The spring constant is $$k = 700 \mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}$$. Assume that the mass of the cord and the mass of the frictionless pulley are negligible.

Figure $$\PageIndex{2}$$: A sliding collar is connected to a hanging mass by a cable and to a support by a spring.

(a) If the collar is initially stationary and the spring unstretched, determine the velocity of collar $$A$$ after it has moved 0.2 meters to the right.

(b) If the mass $$B$$ is replaced by a constant force $$F_B$$ with a magnitude equal to the weight of mass $$B$$, e.g. $$F_{\mathrm{B}} = m_{\mathrm{B}} g$$, and the collar is initially stationary and the spring unstretched, determine the velocity of collar $$A$$ after it has moved 0.2 meters to the right. Is the value larger or smaller than the result from Part (a)? Explain

##### Problem$$7.6$$

A collar is attached to a linear spring as shown in the figure and moves freely on the vertical rod. The mass of the collar is $$m=2.0 \mathrm{~kg}$$, and the spring constant for the spring is $$k=30 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$$. The unstretched length of the spring is $$1.5 \mathrm{~m}$$. The collar is released from rest at $$A$$ and slides up the smooth rod under the action of a constant force $$F=50 \mathrm{~N}$$ applied at $$30^{\circ}$$ from the vertical as shown in the figure.

(b) Determine the velocity $$V$$ of the collar as it passes point $$B$$, in $$\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$$.

##### Problem $$7.7$$

In a preliminary design for a mail-sorting machine, parcels move down an inclined, smooth ramp and are brought to rest by a linear spring. The ramp is inclined at $$30^{\circ}$$ with the horizontal. A typical packages weighs $$10 \mathrm{~lbf}$$. The initial package velocity on the ramp is $$2 \mathrm{~ft} / \mathrm{s}$$ and the package travels a distance of $$10 \mathrm{~ft}$$ down the ramp before it contacts the spring. The spring is designed to bring the packages to a full stop in a distance of 8 inches.

(b) Determine the maximum deceleration for the typical package in units of standard gravitational acceleration, e.g. $$3 \ g$$’s.

##### Problem $$7.8$$

In an alternate design to the one in Problem $$7.7$$, the spring is eliminated and the package is brought to rest solely due to a friction coating over the last 5 feet of the ramp. All variables are the same as in Problem $$7.7$$ except the spring has been replaced by a 5-foot-long friction strip.

(a) Determine the minimum value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the friction strip material that will bring the package to rest on the friction strip. Does your answer depend on the mass of the package?

(b) Determine the maximum deceleration for the typical package in units of standard gravitational acceleration, e.g. $$3 g$$’s.

In addition, you may assume that water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with room-temperature specific heats. Experience has also shown that for this type of problem, changes in pressure, kinetic energy, and potential energy have a negligible effect on the answer; thus, you may neglect them.
