Given: A vehicle having a mass of 500 kg is traveling on a banked track on a path with a constant radius of R = 1000 meters. At the instant showing, the vehicle is traveling with a speed of v = 50 m/sec with this speed decreasing at a rate of 4 m/sec2 (due to braking).
Find: For this instant, determine the magnitude of the TOTAL friction force acting on the vehicle by the roadway. (Here the total friction force is that due to both braking and turning.) Use the figures provided below for two views of the FBD for your analysis.

Given: Particles A and B (having masses of mA = mB = 10 kg) are interconnected by the cable-pulley system shown in the figure. Both particles are constrained to vertical motion with particle A able to slide on a smooth vertical rod. The system is released at sA = 0 with A traveling downward with a speed of 5 m/sec. Assume the pulleys to be small, massless and frictionless.
Find: You are asked here to find the speed of particle A when A has reached the position of sA = 2 m. In your solution clearly indicate the following of the four-step solution method:
1. FBD: Complete the free body diagram of the system of A, B and the cable shown below right. Identify any nonconservative forces that do work on the system.
2. Work-energy equation: Clearly indicate the gravitational datum line(s) used.
3. Kinematics: Here you need to relate ∆sB to ∆sA as well as vB to vA for the two positions.

An arm rotates about the fixed Z-axis with a rate of Ω. A circular disk rotates about its own axis with a constant rate of p = 4 rad/sec relative to the arm. Let XYZ represent a set of fixed coordinate axes, and xyz be a set of coordinate axis attached to the disk. At the instant shown, the xyz and XYZ axes are aligned. Also at this position, Ω = 3 rad/sec with Ω increasing at a rate of !! = 2 rad / sec2. For this position, determine the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the disk. Express your answer as vectors in terms of either their xyz or XYZ

Particle P (having a mass of m) is able to slide on a smooth HORIZONTAL surface. An extensible cord (having a stiffness of 50 N/m and unstretched length of 2 meters) is attached between P and a fixed point O in the plane of motion for P. At position 1, P is released with a velocity as shown below with R1 = 2 meters. Assuming that the cord remains taut for all time, find the angular speed ω of the cord about point O when P is at position 2 where R2 = 4 meters.
HINT: consider the angular momentum of P as it moves about the fixed point O.
