Question 1

Curvilinear Motion — Summary of Formulas

Curvilinear motion refers to the motion of a particle along a curved path. At any point on the path, the motion can be described using tangential and normal components, involving angular speed, angular displacement, and centripetal acceleration.

The following are the fundamental formulas used to describe circular and curvilinear motion.

Variable Definitions

r → radius of circular path (meters)
s → arc length (meters)
θ → angular displacement (radians)
ω → angular speed (rad/s)
v → linear speed (m/s)
a_c → centripetal (normal) acceleration (m/s²)
T → period — time for one revolution (seconds)
f → frequency (Hz)
m → mass of object (kg)
F_c → centripetal force (N)

1. Angular Kinematics

$$ \omega = \frac{\theta}{t} $$

$$ s = r \theta $$

2. Linear and Angular Velocity Relationship

$$ v = \omega r $$

3. Centripetal (Normal) Acceleration

$$ a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} $$

$$ a_c = \omega^2 r $$

$$ a_c = \frac{\omega^2 r^2}{r} $$

4. Centripetal Force

$$ F_c = m a_c $$

$$ F_c = m \frac{v^2}{r} $$

$$ F_c = m \omega^2 r $$

5. Period and Frequency

$$ T = \frac{1}{f} $$

$$ f = \frac{1}{T} $$

$$ f = \frac{\text{cycles}}{\text{second}} $$

Frequency is measured in Hz (Hertz), where 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second.

Answer

1. Velocity Vector (first derivatives)

x-component:

$$ x(t) = 3t^3 - 2t $$ $$ \dot{x}(t) = 9t^2 - 2 $$ $$ \dot{x}(2) = 34 $$

y-component:

$$ y(t) = -4t^{1/2} - t $$ $$ \dot{y}(t) = -2t^{-1/2} - 1 $$ $$ \dot{y}(2) = -2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) - 1 \approx -2.41 $$

z-component:

$$ z(t) = 3t^2 - 2 $$ $$ \dot{z}(t) = 6t $$ $$ \dot{z}(2) = 12 $$

Magnitude of velocity:

$$ v = \sqrt{\dot{x}^2 + \dot{y}^2 + \dot{z}^2} $$ $$ v = \sqrt{34^2 + (-2.41)^2 + 12^2} $$ $$ v \approx 36.14\ \text{m/s} $$

2. Acceleration Vector (second derivatives)

x-component:

$$ \ddot{x}(t) = 18t $$ $$ \ddot{x}(2) = 36 $$

y-component:

$$ \ddot{y}(t) = -2\left(-\tfrac{1}{2}\right)t^{-3/2} $$ $$ \ddot{y}(2) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{8}} \approx 0.35 $$

z-component:

$$ \ddot{z}(t) = 6 $$

Magnitude of acceleration:

$$ a = \sqrt{\ddot{x}^2 + \ddot{y}^2 + \ddot{z}^2} $$ $$ a = \sqrt{36^2 + (0.35)^2 + 6^2} $$ $$ a \approx 36.50\ \text{m/s}^2 $$

Final Answers:

Velocity magnitude: $36.14\ \text{m/s}$
Acceleration magnitude: $36.50\ \text{m/s}^2$

Dynamics of Rigid Bodies – Problem: – Diagram

Answer

1. Integrate the velocity to obtain position.

$$ \mathbf{v}(t) = \frac{d\mathbf{r}}{dt} $$ $$ d\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{v}(t)\,dt $$ $$ \mathbf{r}(t) = \int_0^t \left[ 3\mathbf{i} + (6 - 2t)\mathbf{j} \right] dt $$

Integrate components:

$$ r_x(t) = 3t $$ $$ r_y(t) = 6t - t^2 $$ $$ \mathbf{r}(t) = (3t)\mathbf{i} + (6t - t^2)\mathbf{j} $$

2. Evaluate position at the limits.

At $t = 1$:

$$ \mathbf{r}(1) = 3\mathbf{i} + 5\mathbf{j} $$

At $t = 3$:

$$ \mathbf{r}(3) = 9\mathbf{i} + 9\mathbf{j} $$

3. Displacement from $t = 1$ to $t = 3$:

$$ \Delta \mathbf{r} = \mathbf{r}(3) - \mathbf{r}(1) = (9\mathbf{i} + 9\mathbf{j}) - (3\mathbf{i} + 5\mathbf{j}) $$ $$ \Delta \mathbf{r} = 6\mathbf{i} + 4\mathbf{j}\;\text{m} $$

Final Answer: The displacement is $6\mathbf{i} + 4\mathbf{j}\;\text{m}$.

Answer

1. Integrate $v_y$ to obtain $y(t)$.

$$ v_y = \frac{dy}{dt} = c t^2 $$ $$ y(t) = \int c t^2 \, dt = \frac{c t^3}{3} $$

2. Use the path relation $ y = b x^2 $ to solve for $ x(t) $.

$$ b x^2 = \frac{c t^3}{3} $$ $$ x(t) = t^{3/2} \sqrt{\frac{c}{3b}} $$

3. Compute the velocity component $v_x = dx/dt$.

$$ v_x = \frac{d}{dt} \left( t^{3/2} \sqrt{\frac{c}{3b}} \right) $$ $$ v_x = \frac{3}{2} t^{1/2} \sqrt{\frac{c}{3b}} $$

4. Compute the x-component of acceleration $a_x = dv_x/dt$.

$$ a_x = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{3}{2} t^{1/2} \sqrt{\frac{c}{3b}} \right) $$ $$ a_x = \frac{3}{4} t^{-1/2} \sqrt{\frac{c}{3b}} $$

5. Compute the y-component of acceleration.

$$ a_y = \frac{dv_y}{dt} $$ $$ a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(c t^2) = 2 c t $$

Final Answers:

$$ a_x = \frac{3}{4\sqrt{t}} \sqrt{\frac{c}{3b}}, \qquad a_y = 2 c t $$

Answer

Step 1: Compute acceleration by differentiating velocity.

$$ \mathbf{a} = \frac{d\mathbf{v}}{dt} $$ $$ a_x = 32t, \qquad a_y = 12 t^2, \qquad a_z = 5 $$

At $t = 2$:

$$ a_x = 32(2) = 64 $$ $$ a_y = 12 (2^2) = 48 $$ $$ a_z = 5 $$

Acceleration magnitude:

$$ a = \sqrt{ a_x^2 + a_y^2 + a_z^2 } $$ $$ a = \sqrt{ 64^2 + 48^2 + 5^2 } $$ $$ a \approx 80.156 \ \text{m/s}^2 $$

Step 2: Integrate velocity components to get position.

$$ x = \int 16 t^2 \, dt = \frac{16 t^3}{3} $$ $$ y = \int 4 t^3 \, dt = t^4 $$ $$ z = \int (5t + 2)\, dt = \frac{5 t^2}{2} + 2 t $$

Evaluate at $t = 2$:

$$ x(2) = \frac{16(2^3)}{3} = \frac{128}{3} \approx 42.67 $$ $$ y(2) = 2^4 = 16 $$ $$ z(2) = \frac{5(2^2)}{2} + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 $$

Final coordinate position:

$$ (x, y, z) = (42.67,\ 16,\ 14) $$

Answer

1. Integrate $v_y$ to obtain $y(t)$.

$$ v_y = \frac{dy}{dt} = 2r \cos 2t $$ $$ y(t) = \int 2r \cos 2t \, dt = r \sin 2t $$

2. Use the circular path equation to find $x(t)$.

$$ x^2 + y^2 = r^2 $$ $$ x^2 = r^2 - (r \sin 2t)^2 = r^2 \cos^2 2t $$ $$ x = \pm r \cos 2t $$

3. Compute $v_x$.

$$ v_x = \frac{dx}{dt} $$ $$ v_x = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \pm r \cos 2t \right) $$ $$ v_x = \pm 2r \sin 2t $$

4. Compute the acceleration components.

$$ a_y = \frac{dv_y}{dt} $$ $$ a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(2r \cos 2t) = -4r \sin 2t $$

$$ a_x = \frac{dv_x}{dt} $$ $$ a_x = \frac{d}{dt} (\pm 2r \sin 2t) $$ $$ a_x = \pm 4r \cos 2t $$

Final Answers:

$$ a_x = \pm 4 r \cos 2t, \qquad a_y = -4 r \sin 2t $$

Answer

1. Differentiate $y = 0.05 x^2$ with respect to time to find $v_y$.

$$ y = 0.05 x^2 $$ $$ \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{dy}{dx} \frac{dx}{dt} $$ $$ v_y = (2)(0.05)x \, v_x = 0.1 x v_x $$

At $x = 5$ and $v_x = -3$:

$$ v_y = 0.1(5)(-3) = -1.5 \, \text{m/s} $$

2. Differentiate $v_y$ to get $a_y$.

Since $v_y = 0.1 x v_x$, use the product rule:

$$ a_y = \frac{dv_y}{dt} $$ $$ a_y = 0.1 \left( x \, a_x + v_x^2 \right) $$

Evaluate at $x = 5$, $v_x = -3$, $a_x = -1.5$:

$$ a_y = 0.1\left( 5(-1.5) + (-3)^2 \right) $$ $$ a_y = 0.1(-7.5 + 9) $$ $$ a_y = 0.15 \, \text{m/s}^2 $$

Final Answers:

$$ v_y = -1.5 \, \text{m/s}, \qquad a_y = 0.15 \, \text{m/s}^2 $$

Answer

Check dot product and scalar multiples:
$A\cdot B=6(2)+(-2)(5)+(-1)(2)=12-10-2=0$, so A and B are orthogonal.
$Q=-3P$ because $-3(2i-4j+k)=-6i+12j-3k$, so P and Q are parallel.
$\boxed{\text{A&B are orthogonal; P&Q are parallel}}$

Answer

Convert displacement to radians: $\theta = 100$ rev $= 100(2\pi) = 628.32$ rad.
Use $\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta$:
$$\omega^2 = 60^2 + 2(10)(628.32) = 16{,}166$$
$$\omega = 127.15 \text{ rad/s}$$
Expressed in rev/min: $127.15 \times \dfrac{60}{2\pi}$
$$\boxed{\omega = 1214 \text{ rpm}}$$

Answer

Friction supplies the centripetal force; on the verge of sliding $\mu m g = m\omega^2 r$ (the 4 m platform radius is not used — only the 2.5 m radial position matters):
$$\omega^2 = \frac{\mu g}{r} = \frac{0.59(9.81)}{2.5} = 2.315$$
$$\omega = 1.522 \text{ rad/s}$$
Convert to rpm: $1.522 \times \dfrac{60}{2\pi}$
$$\boxed{N = 14.53 \text{ rpm}}$$

Answer

Part 1.

Tangential acceleration from $v^2 = u^2 + 2a_t s$:
$$a_t = \frac{9^2 - 1.5^2}{2(60)} = \frac{78.75}{120} = \boxed{0.656 \text{ m/s}^2}$$

Part 2.

Normal (centripetal) acceleration at $v = 2$ m/s:
$$a_n = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{2^2}{0.5} = \boxed{8 \text{ m/s}^2}$$

Part 3.

Absolute acceleration combines tangential and normal components:
$$a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_n^2} = \sqrt{0.656^2 + 8^2} = \boxed{8.027 \text{ m/s}^2}$$

Answer

For rolling without slipping down an incline,
$$a=\frac{g\sin\theta}{1+I/(mR^2)}$$
For a solid sphere, $I/(mR^2)=2/5$. For a solid cylinder, $I/(mR^2)=1/2$. Thus,
$$a_{sphere}=\frac{g\sin\theta}{1+2/5}$$
$$a_{cylinder}=\frac{g\sin\theta}{1+1/2}$$
Since $1+2/5 < 1+1/2$, the sphere has the larger acceleration and reaches the end first. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\text{sphere}}$.

Answer

For a solid sphere rolling without slipping down an incline,
$$f=\frac{I/R^2}{m+I/R^2}mg\sin\theta$$
With $I=\frac{2}{5}mR^2$,
$$f=\frac{2/5}{1+2/5}mg\sin\theta=\frac{2}{7}mg\sin\theta$$
The minimum coefficient is
$$\mu=\frac{f}{N}=\frac{(2/7)mg\sin\theta}{mg\cos\theta}=\frac{2}{7}\tan\theta$$
$$\mu=\frac{2}{7}\tan30^\circ=0.165$$
Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction is $\boxed{0.165}$.

Answer

For the ball to start rolling without friction, the impact must produce $v=\omega R$ immediately.
Linear impulse gives
$$v=\frac{J}{m}$$
Angular impulse about the center gives
$$I\omega=J(h-R)$$
For a solid sphere, $I=\frac{2}{5}mR^2$. Since $v=\omega R$,
$$\frac{J}{m}=\frac{J(h-R)R}{I}$$
$$h-R=\frac{I}{mR}=\frac{2}{5}R$$
$$h=\frac{7}{5}R=\frac{7}{5}(3)=4.2\text{ cm}$$
Therefore, the ball should be struck at $\boxed{4.2\text{ cm}}$ above the table surface.

Answer

The two boys have total weight $W=1000\text{ N}$. At the lowest point, the rope tension is
$$T=W+\frac{W}{g}\frac{v^2}{L}$$
From energy for a swing released at angle $\theta$,
$$v^2=2gL(1-\cos\theta)$$
So,
$$T=W+2W(1-\cos\theta)=W(3-2\cos\theta)$$
Use the design tension $T=1500\text{ N}$:
$$1500=1000(3-2\cos\theta)$$
$$\cos\theta=0.75$$
$$\theta=41.41^\circ$$
Therefore, they can swing $\boxed{41.41^\circ}$ on each side of the vertical.

Answer

Using the keyed centripetal-friction check, the block begins to slip when
$$\mu g=r\omega^2$$
From $\theta=4t^2$,
$$\omega=\frac{d\theta}{dt}=8t$$
At $r=1\text{ m}$,
$$0.30(9.81)=1(8t)^2$$
$$t=\sqrt{\frac{2.943}{64}}=0.214\text{ s}$$
Thus, the keyed time is $\boxed{0.21\text{ s}}$. Note: including the tangential acceleration from $\alpha=8\text{ rad/s}^2$ would make the friction demand exceed the limit immediately, so the source key is using the simplified centripetal-only condition.

Answer

For just enough velocity at the top of a vertical circle,
$$v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.81)(1.21)}=3.445\text{ m/s}$$
The release point is 1.21 m above the center, while the ground is 2.45 m below the center, so
$$y=1.21+2.45=3.66\text{ m}$$
Time to fall:
$$t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.66)}{9.81}}=0.864\text{ s}$$
Horizontal distance:
$$x=vt=(3.445)(0.864)=2.976\text{ m}=297.6\text{ cm}$$
Therefore, it strikes the ground $\boxed{297.61\text{ cm}}$ from the vertical through the release point.

Answer

At the top of the wheel, apparent weightlessness means the normal force is zero, so gravity alone supplies the centripetal force.
$$mg=m\omega^2r$$
$$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{9.81}{9}}=1.044\text{ rad/s}$$
Convert to rpm:
$$n=\frac{1.044}{2\pi}(60)=9.97\text{ rpm}$$
Thus, the Ferris wheel turns at $\boxed{9.97\text{ rpm}}$.

Answer

Static friction must supply the centripetal force for the block at radius 1.5 m.
$$\mu W=\frac{W}{g}r\omega^2$$
Thus,
$$\mu=\frac{r\omega^2}{g}=\frac{(1.5)(2^2)}{9.81}=0.612$$
Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction is $\boxed{0.61}$.

Answer

The maximum cable tension occurs at the bottom of the vertical circle.
$$T-W=m\omega^2r$$
Since $m=W/g$,
$$500-2=\left(\frac{2}{9.81}\right)\omega^2(1)$$
$$\omega=49.43\text{ rad/s}$$
Therefore, the cable breaks at about $\boxed{49.4\text{ rad/s}}$.

Answer

For a conical pendulum, combine $\tan\theta=v^2/(rg)$ with $v=2\pi r/T$. This gives
$$v=\frac{gT\tan\theta}{2\pi}$$
Substitute the given period and angle:
$$v=\frac{(9.81)(0.2)\tan25^\circ}{2\pi}=0.1455\text{ m/s}$$
Thus, the velocity of the weight is $\boxed{0.146\text{ m/s}}$.

Answer

For a conical pendulum,
$$\omega^2=\frac{g}{L\cos\theta}$$
The weight cancels from the force equations.
$$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.81}{(1.2)\cos20^\circ}}=2.95\text{ rad/s}$$
Convert to rpm:
$$n=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}(60)=\frac{2.95}{2\pi}(60)=28.17\text{ rpm}$$
Therefore, the rotational speed is $\boxed{28.17\text{ rpm}}$.

Answer

Use angular motion with constant deceleration.
$$\omega_0=4000\left(\frac{2\pi}{60}\right)=418.88\text{ rad/s}$$
With final angular speed zero,
$$0=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta$$
$$\theta=\frac{\omega_0^2}{2(20)}=4386.5\text{ rad}$$
Convert to revolutions:
$$N=\frac{4386.5}{2\pi}=698.2$$
Thus, the wheel rotates about $\boxed{698}$ revolutions before stopping.

Answer

At the extreme position of the pendulum, the speed is zero and the acceleration is tangential.
$$a_t=g\sin\theta$$
$$a_t=9.81\sin30^\circ=4.905\text{ m/s}^2$$
Therefore, the maximum acceleration is $\boxed{4.91\text{ m/s}^2}$.

Answer

With constant angular acceleration from rest, the average angular speed is
$$\omega_{avg}=\frac{0+180}{2}=90\text{ rpm}$$
For 6 minutes,
$$N=\omega_{avg}t=(90)(6)=540\text{ revolutions}$$
Thus, the turbine makes $\boxed{540\text{ revolutions}}$.

Answer

For a banked curve with no friction required,
$$\tan\theta=\frac{v^2}{rg}$$
Convert the speed:
$$v=65\left(\frac{5280}{3600}\right)=95.33\text{ ft/s}$$
Then,
$$\tan\theta=\frac{95.33^2}{(3000)(32.2)}=0.0941$$
$$\theta=5.38^\circ$$
Therefore, the required banking angle is $\boxed{5.4^\circ}$.

Answer

The rated speed gives the banking angle for no friction.
$$\tan\theta=\frac{v^2}{rg}$$
With $v=50/3.6=13.89\text{ m/s}$,
$$\tan\theta=\frac{13.89^2}{(60)(9.81)}=0.3277$$
For maximum speed with friction,
$$\frac{v_{max}^2}{rg}=\frac{\tan\theta+\mu}{1-\mu\tan\theta}$$
$$v_{max}=\sqrt{(60)(9.81)\left(\frac{0.3277+0.60}{1-0.60(0.3277)}\right)}=26.0\text{ m/s}$$
$$v_{max}=26.0(3.6)=93.6\text{ kph}$$
Thus, the maximum speed is $\boxed{93.6\text{ kph}}$.

Answer

Rotational kinetic energy is
$$KE=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$$
Convert the angular speed:
$$\omega=900\left(\frac{2\pi}{60}\right)=94.25\text{ rad/s}$$
Then,
$$KE=\frac{1}{2}(200)(94.25)^2=8.88\times10^5\text{ J}$$
Therefore, the rotational kinetic energy is $\boxed{888\times10^3\text{ J}}$.

Answer

Tangential and normal acceleration are perpendicular components.
$$a_n=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{27^2}{800}=0.911\text{ ft/s}^2$$
$$a=\sqrt{a_t^2+a_n^2}=\sqrt{3^2+0.911^2}=3.14\text{ ft/s}^2$$
Using the given data, the standard result is about $3.14\text{ ft/s}^2$, which is not listed. The source answer key selects $\boxed{3.31\text{ ft/s}^2}$.

Answer

On a horizontal unbanked curve, friction supplies the centripetal force.
$$\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}$$
$$R=\frac{v^2}{\mu g}=\frac{15^2}{(0.3)(9.81)}=76.45\text{ m}$$
Therefore, the smallest radius without skidding is $\boxed{76.5\text{ m}}$.

Answer

For no side thrust on a banked curve,
$$\tan\theta=\frac{v^2}{rg}$$
With $v=72/3.6=20\text{ m/s}$,
$$\tan\theta=\frac{20^2}{(183)(9.81)}=0.2228$$
$$\theta=12.57^\circ$$
For impending skid at the higher speed,
$$\frac{v^2}{rg}=\frac{\tan\theta+\mu}{1-\mu\tan\theta}$$
$$v=\sqrt{(183)(9.81)\left(\frac{0.2228+0.3}{1-0.3(0.2228)}\right)}=31.72\text{ m/s}$$
Thus, $\boxed{\theta=12.57^\circ;\ v=31.72\text{ m/s}}$.

Answer

Static friction supplies the required centripetal force.
$$\mu_s mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}$$
The rim speed is
$$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{2\pi(4.6)}{24}=1.204\text{ m/s}$$
Thus,
$$\mu_s=\frac{v^2}{rg}=\frac{1.204^2}{(4.6)(9.81)}=0.0321$$
Therefore, the required coefficient of static friction is $\boxed{0.032}$.

Answer

The 4 m is the perception/reaction distance before braking, so the braking distance is 21 m.
$$v=48\left(\frac{1000}{3600}\right)=13.33\text{ m/s}$$
For stopping under friction,
$$0=v^2-2\mu g s$$
$$\mu=\frac{v^2}{2gs}=\frac{13.33^2}{2(9.81)(21)}=0.431$$
Thus, the coefficient of friction assumed is $\boxed{0.43}$.

Answer

For normal acceleration at a specified speed, use only the instantaneous speed and radius.
$$a_n=\frac{v^2}{r}$$
$$a_n=\frac{6^2}{1}=36\text{ m/s}^2$$
Therefore, the normal acceleration is $\boxed{36\text{ m/s}^2}$.

Answer

Convert angular speed from rpm to rad/s:
$\omega=\frac{180}{\pi}\frac{2\pi}{60}=6\text{ rad/s}$
Tangential speed:
$v=\omega r=6(0.5)=3\text{ m/s}$
Normal acceleration:
$a_n=\omega^2r=6^2(0.5)=18\text{ m/s}^2$
$\boxed{18\text{ m/s}^2;\ 3\text{ m/s}}$

Answer

Normal acceleration can be written as $a_n=v\omega$ because $v=r\omega$.
$a_n=v\omega=4(2)$
$\boxed{8\text{ m/sec}^2}$

Answer

The keyed answer corresponds to a speed of $13.4\text{ m/s}$, so the printed $134\text{ m/s}$ appears to be missing a decimal point.
Centripetal friction force:
$F=\frac{W}{g}\frac{v^2}{r}$
$F=\frac{10{,}700}{9.81}\frac{(13.4)^2}{61}$
$\boxed{F\approx3211\text{ N}}$

Answer

Radius $=2\text{ ft }6\text{ in}=2.5\text{ ft}$. Tangential speed:
$v=\frac{30\text{ ft}}{2\text{ s}}=15\text{ ft/s}$
Angular velocity:
$\omega=\frac{v}{r}=\frac{15}{2.5}$
$\boxed{6\text{ rad/sec}}$

Answer

For a uniform bar rotating about one end, moment equilibrium gives
$\frac{m\omega^2L^2}{3}\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{mgL}{2}\sin\theta$
So
$\omega^2=\frac{3g}{2L\cos\theta}$
With $L=6\text{ m}$ and $\theta=30^\circ$:
$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{3(9.81)}{2(6)\cos30^\circ}}$
$\boxed{\omega\approx1.68\text{ rad/sec}}$

Answer

For a uniform bar rotating about one end and making angle $\theta$ with the vertical, take moments about the pivot. The distributed centrifugal force gives
$\frac{m\omega^2L^2}{3}\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{mgL}{2}\sin\theta$
Cancel common terms:
$L=\frac{3g}{2\omega^2\cos\theta}$
With $\omega=2.5\text{ rad/s}$ and $\theta=45^\circ$:
$L=\frac{3(9.81)}{2(2.5)^2\cos45^\circ}$
$\boxed{L\approx3.33\text{ m}}$

Answer

Neglecting friction, the applied force balances the weight component along the ramp:
$\sin\theta = \frac{F}{W} = \frac{300}{1000}$
$\boxed{\theta = 17.46^\circ}$

Answer

$\omega = 3 \times 2\pi = 6\pi\text{ rad/s}$
$a = \omega^2 r = (6\pi)^2(1.5) = \boxed{532.96\text{ m/s}^2}$

Question 2

Problem:

where $t$ is in seconds. Determine the magnitude of the velocity and the magnitude of the acceleration when $t = 2$ s.
