Q.7 In the manufacturing process disks are moved fromlevel A to level B by the lifting arm
shown. The arms start fromlevel A with no initial velocity , moves first with a constant
acceleration a
1
as shown and then with a constant deceleration a
2
and comes to stop
at level B. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the disks and the arm
is 0.30, determine the largest allowable acceleration a
1
and the
largest allowable deceleration a
2

Q.8 Find the acceleration of the three masses A, B and C shown in figure.
Friction coefficient between all surfaces is 0.5. Pulleys are smooth.
Q.9 A block of mass M =2 kg is resting on a horizontal plane. The coefficient of
friction between the block and surface is m =0.1. The block is given a sudden
impulse which produces a velocity of 20 m/s in the direction shown in figure. At the same instant a constant
force of 10 N starts acting on the block in opposite direction. Find the distance travelled and velocity of
block after 10 sec. Consider the initial velocity direction at t =0 as positive.
Q.10 A systemis shown in the figure. Friction coefficient between A & B is
1/2 and between A and fixed plane is 1/2. Block C is placed over a
frictionless surface. mass of each block is same and equal to m. Find
the acceleration of block A. Pulley is smooth.Assume B fits usually inside A.
