Problem 2.285
The motion of a peg sliding within a rectilinear guide is controlled by
an actuator in such a way that the peg’s acceleration takes on the form

When compared with Prob. 2.57, why does the addition of

in
the initial velocity turn this into a problem that requires a computer to
solve?

Problem 2.286
The acceleration of an object in rectilinear free fall while immersed in a linear viscous
fluid is
aDgCdv=m

Cd
is a constant
drag coefficient,
v
is the object’s velocity, and
m
is the object’s mass. Letting

Problem 2.287
Heavy rains cause a stretch of road to have a coefficient of friction
that changes as a function of location. Under these conditions, the
acceleration of a car skidding while trying to stop can be approxi-
mated by

, where
k
is the friction coefficient un-
der dry conditions,
g
is the acceleration of gravity, and

of the car. Determine the time it will take the car to stop and the

Problem 2.288
The acceleration of a particle of mass
m
suspended by a linear spring with spring constant
k
and unstretched length
L0
(when the spring length is equal to
L0
, the spring exerts
no force on the particle) is given by
RxDg.k=m/.x L0/
. Assuming that at
tD0
the particle is at rest and its position is
xD0
m, derive the expression of the particle’s
position xas a function of time. Hint: A good table of integrals will come in handy.
Solution
We have acceleration as a function of position and we integrate it as follows:

Consider the problem of launching a projectile a distance
R
from
O
to
D
with a known launch speed
v0
. It is probably clear to you
that you also need to know the launch angle
✓
if you want the
projectile to land exactly at
R
. But it turns out that the condition
determining whether or not
v0
is large enough to get to
R
does
not depend on

v0
.Hint: Find
v0
as a function of
R
and

, and then remember that the sine function
is bounded by 1.
