PROBLEM 11.9
The brakes of a car are applied, causing it to slow down at a rate
of 10 ft/s2. Knowing that the car stops in 100 ft, determine
(a) how fast the car was traveling immediately before the brakes
were applied, (b) the time required for the car to stop.
PROBLEM 11.10

ft/s and
seconds, respectively. Knowing that x 0 and v 0 at t 0, determine the velocity and position of the
particle when t 0.5 s.

PROBLEM 11.13
A Scotch yoke is a mechanism that transforms the circular motion of a
crank into the reciprocating motion of a shaft (or vice versa). It has been
used in a number of different internal combustion engines and in control
valves. In the Scotch yoke shown, the acceleration of Point A is defined by
the relation a 1.8sin kt, where a and t are expressed in m/s2 and seconds,
respectively, and k 3 rad/s. Knowing that x 0 and v 0.6 m/s when t 0,
determine the velocity and position of Point A when t 0.5 s.
PROBLEM 11.14
For the scotch yoke mechanism shown, the acceleration of Point A is defined by the
relation 1.08sin 1.44cos ,aktkt where a and t are expressed in m/s2 and
seconds, respectively, and k = 3 rad/s. Knowing that x = 0.16 m and v = 0.36 m/s
when t = 0, determine the velocity and position of Point A when t = 0.5 s.
PROBLEM 11.15
A piece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by
packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a
speed of 4 m/s. After contact the equipment experiences an
acceleration of

compression of the packing material. If the packing material
experiences a maximum compression of 20 mm, determine
the maximum acceleration of the equipment.
PROBLEM 11.16
A projectile enters a resisting medium at 0x
with an initial velocity
v0900 ft/s and travels 4 in. before coming to rest. Assuming that the
velocity of the projectile is defined by the relation 0,vv kx where v is
expressed in ft/s and x is in feet, determine (a) the initial acceleration of the
projectile, (b) the time required for the projectile to penetrate 3.9 in. into the

PROBLEM 11.18
A brass (nonmagnetic) block A and a steel magnet B are in equilibrium in a brass
tube under the magnetic repelling force of another steel magnet C located at a
distance x 0.004 m from B. The force is inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between B and C. If block A is suddenly removed, the acceleration
of block B is 2
