To unload a bound stack of plywood from a truck, the driver first tilts the bed of the truck and then accelerates from rest. Kno

wing that the coefficients of friction between the bottom sheet of plywood and the bed are fJK = 0.40 and fik = 0.30, determine (a) the smallest acceleration of the truck which will cause the stack of plywood to slide, (b) the acceleration of the truck which causes corner A of the stack of plywood to reach the end of the bed in 0.4 s.

Answer:

a) The truck must have an acceleration of at least 3.92 * cos(θ)^2 for the stack to start sliding.

b) a = 2.94 * cos(θ)^2 + 0.32 * L * cos(θ)

Explanation:

The stack of plywood has a certain mass. The weight will depend on that mass.

w = m * g

There will be a normal reaction between the stack and the bed of the truck, this will be:

nr = -m * g * cos(θ)

Being θ the tilt angle of the bed.

The static friction force will be:

ffs = - m * g * cos(θ) * fJK

The dynamic friction force will be:

ffd = - m * g * cos(θ) * fik

These forces would produce accelerations

affs = -g * cos(θ) * fJK

affd = -g * cos(θ) * fik

affs = -9.81 * cos(θ) * 0.4 = -3.92 * cos(θ)

affd = -9.81 * cos(θ) * 0.3 = -2.94 * cos(θ)

These accelerations oppose to movement and must be overcome by another acceleration to move the stack.

The acceleration of the truck is horizontal, the horizontal component of these friction forces is:

affs = -3.92 * cos(θ)^2

affd = -2.94 * cos(θ)^2

The truck must have an acceleration of at least 3.92 * cos(θ)^2 for the stack to start sliding.

Assuming the bed has a lenght L.

The horizontal movement will be over a distance cos(θ) * L because L is tilted.

Movement under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

In this case X0 = 0, V0 = 0, and a will be the sum of the friction force minus the acceleration of the truck.

If we set the frame of reference with the origin on the initial position of the stack and the positive X axis pointing backwards, the acceleration of the truck will now be negative and the dynamic friction acceleration positive.

L * cos(θ) = 1/2 * (2.94 * cos(θ)^2 - a) * 0.4^2

2.94 * cos(θ)^2 - a = 2 * 0.16 * L * cos(θ)

a = 2.94 * cos(θ)^2 + 0.32 * L * cos(θ)

devlian [24]

Answer:

Machine 2 has a higher process capability index, it would be best considered for purchase.

Explanation:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

For machine 1, mean= 48mm and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.7

Cpk= [0.952;0.952]= 0.952

For machine 2, mean= 47 and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Cpk= [1.111;3.333]= 1.111

It is clearly observed from the calculations above that the Cpk value of machine 2 is higher than that of machine 1.

Since machine 2 has a higher process capability index, it would be best considered for purchase.

The sliders A and B are connected by a light rigid bar of length l = 20 in. and move with negligible friction in the slots, both
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

- The Length of the rigid bar L = 20 in

- The position of slider a, x_a = 16 in

- The position of slider b, y_b

- The velocity of slider a, v_a = 3 ft /s

- The velocity of slider b, v_b

- The acceleration of slider a, a_a

- The acceleration of slider b, a_b

Find:

-Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar at this instant.

Solution:

- The relationship between the length L of the rod and the positions x_a and x_b of sliders A & B is as follows:

                               L^2 = x_a^2 + y_b^2   ....... 1

                               y_b = sqrt( 20^2 - 16^2 )

                               y_b = 12

- The velocity expression can derived by taking a derivation of Eq 1 with respect to time t:

                               0 = 2*x_a*v_a + 2*y_b*v_b

                               0 = x_a*v_a + y_b*v_b   ..... 2

                               0 = 16*36 + 12*v_b

                               v_b = - 48 in /s = -4 ft/s

- Similarly, the acceleration expression can be derived by taking a derivative of Eq 2 with respect to time t:

                               0 = v_a^2 + x_a*a_a + v_b^2 + y_b*a_b

                               0 = 9 + 4*a_a/3 + 16 + a_b

                               4*a_a/3 + a_b = -25

                               4*a_a + 3*a_b = -75  .... 3

- Use dynamics on each slider. For Slider A, Apply Newton's second law of motion in x direction:

                               F_x = m_a*a_a

                               P - R_r*16/20 = m_a*a_a

                               

- For Slider B, Apply Newton's second law of motion in y direction:

                               F_y = m_b*a_b

                               - R_r*12/20 = m_b*a_b

- Combine the two dynamic equations:

                               P - 4*m_b*a_b / 3 = m_a*a_a

                               3P = 3*m_a*a_a + 4*m_b*a_b  ... 4

- Where,                  P = Is the force acting on slider A

                               P , m_a and m_b are known quantities but not given in question. We are to solve Eq 3 and Eq 4 simultaneously for a_a and a_b.
