A 2000lbm car is accelerating (on a frictionless surface) at a rate of 2ft-sec. What force must be applied to the car to act as an equilibrant for this system?
Page | 32
SOLUTION:
A Force, F2, must be applied in the opposite direction to F1 such that the sum of all forces acting in the car is zero. Forces = F1 + F2 + N + W = 0
Since the car remains on the surface, forces N and W are in equal and opposite directions. Force F2 must be applied in an equal and opposite direction to F1 in order for the forces to be in equilibrium. F2 = F1 = = (2000lbm x 2ft-sec2) / 32.17

To find the forces T2 and T3, we resolve these forces into rectangular components. Then, from Newtons second law, F = T2cos2 T3 cos3 = 0 F
= T2sin2
T3 sin 3 - T1 = 0
We have F F Or
Solving these equations simultaneously, we find the tensions to be T2 = 25lb T3 = 43.3 lb.
We know from Newtons third law that the inclined cords exert on the ceiling the forces T 2 and T3, equal and opposite to T2 and T3, respectively.

The weights of the objects are 200N and 300N. The pulleys are essentially frictionless and massless. Pulley P1 has a stationary axle, but pulley P2 is free to move up and down. Find the tensions FT1 and FT2 and the acceleration of each body.
SOLUTION: FT1 = 2FT2 Let a = the downward acceleration of A. a/2 = upward acceleration of B.
Fy = may FT1 300N = (mB)( a) ; 200N - FT2 = mAa But m = mA = (200/9.81)kg mB = (300/9.81)kg
By substituting these equations, we can compute FT1, 2FT2, and a. FT1 = 327N FT2 = 164N a = 1.78
