Problem 3.84
The package handling system is designed to launch the small pack-
age of mass
m
from
A
, using a compressed linear spring of constant
k
. After launch, the package slides along the track until it lands
on the conveyor belt at
B
. The track has small, well-oiled rollers,
making any friction between the packages and the track negligible.
Modeling the package as a particle, determine the minimum initial
compression of the spring so that the package gets to
B
without
separating from the track, and determine the corresponding speed
with which the package reaches the conveyor at B.
Solution
We must determine the speed of the mass as it leaves the spring so that it reaches the top

Problem 3.87
The disk shown, weighing
3lb
, rotates about
O
by sliding without friction over the horizontal surface
shown. The spring is linear with constant
k
and unstretched length
L0D0:75 ft
. The maximum distance
achieved by the disk from point

while traveling at a speed
v0D20 ft=s
. Determine
the value of ksuch that the minimum distance between the disk and Ois dmin Ddmax=2.
Solution
We model the disk as a particle moving in the horizontal plane subject only to the spring

Problem 3.88
A pendulum with cord length

and a bob weighing
3lb
is released
from rest at an angle
✓i
. Once the pendulum has swung to the vertical position
(i.e.,

), its cord runs into a small fixed obstacle. In solving this problem,
neglect the size of the obstacle; model the pendulum’s bob as a particle and the
pendulum’s cord as massless and inextensible; and let gravity and the tension in
the cord be the only relevant forces.
What is the maximum height reached by the pendulum, measured from its
lowest point, if ✓iD20ı?
