PROBLEM 11.60*
The system shown starts from rest, and the length of the upper cord is adjusted so
that A, B, and C are initially at the same level. Each component moves with a
constant acceleration, and after 2 s the relative change in position of block C with
respect to block A is 280 mm upward. Knowing that when the relative velocity of
collar B with respect to block A is
80 mm/s
downward, the displacements of A
and B are 160 mm downward and 320 mm downward, respectively, determine
(a) the accelerations of A and B if 2
10 mm/s ,
B
a
(b) the change in position of
block D when the velocity of block C is 600 mm/s upward.
