Question: Problem 1 . The two balls A and B , each of mass m = 1 l b m , hang on two different strings,

Problem 1. The two balls A and B, each of mass m=1lbm, hang on two different strings, each of length L=3ft, as shown. Ball A is released from rest at an angle of A=35 to the vertical. During its motion, it will eventually hit ball B. The coefficient of restitution for the impact of the two balls is given by e=0.9.
a) Employ energy principles to determine the speed vA of ball A immediately before impact.
b) Employ linear momentum principles to determine the speed vB' of ball B immediately after impact.
c) Employ energy principles to determine the maximum angle B,max'(to the vertical) that the ball B can swing after impact.
Hint: Is I=32.2fts2 as the gravitational acceleration.
Problem 3. The two propeller planes A and B are flying in horizontal flight, as shown in Fig. 2. At the instant shown, plane A located at position C has a speed of vA=64ms, and plane B has a speed of vB=100ms. While flying along the path CDEF (with a circular path between E and F), plane A is increasing its speed at a uniform rate to reach a speed of 88ms when it arrives at position F. Plane B, on the other hand, decreases its speed at a uniform rate of aB=2ms2 while flying eastward (i.e. in the positive i-direction). For the sake of simplicity, it can be assumed that aerodynamic drag is negligible.
a) Determine the tangential acceleration at of plane A.
b) Use the result found in Part a) to determine both the speetd vA of plane A at the instant when it reaches position D and the time tCD that it takes for plane A to fly from C to D.
c) Use the result found in Part b) to determine the speed vB of plane B at the instant when plane A reaches position D.
d) Use the results found in Parts b) and c) to determine the velocity (vector).vAB of plane A as seen from the pilot in plane B at the instant when plane A is at position D.
e) Use the result found in Part a) to determine the acceleration (vector)aAB of plane A as seen from the pilot in plane B at the instant when plane A is at position F.

Problem 3. The small motor M is pivoted about the x-axis through O and gives its shaft OA a constant angular speed p in the direction shown relative to its housing. The entire unit is then set into rotation about the vertical Z-axis at the constant angular velocity . Simultaneously, the motor pivots about the x-axis at the constant rate for an interval of motion. Determine the velocity vA and the acceleration aA of the center A of the ball tool in terms of .
