Problem 7.101
The figure shows a weapon called a battering ram (modern large
battering rams are typically mounted on armored vehicles). The
ram has a weight
WrD2500 lb
, center of mass at
E
, and radius of
gyration
kED6:5 ft
. Also let the distance between points
A
and
B

pin connections, and assume that the cart does not move while the
ram swings.
Assuming that the ram is suspended by inextensible cords of
negligible mass, determine the tension in the cords and the accel-
eration of

D75ı.

Force Laws. All forces have been accounted for on the FBD.
Kinematic Equations.
Because we are interested in what is happening immediately after the ram is
released from rest, all velocities are zero. Because of this and because the motion of the ram is a curvilinear
translation, the acceleration of every point on the ram must be perpendicular to the segments
AB
and

Force Laws. All forces have been accounted for on the FBD.
Kinematic Equations.
Since motion of the ram is a curvilinear translation, every point on it will have the
same velocity and same acceleration as every other point. Point
B
, for example, is moving in a circle centered
at
A
and so the component of the acceleration of
B
in the direction from
B
to
A
is
v2
E=L
, where
L
is the
length of the segment AB. Enforcing this condition, we obtain
