Wright State University Spring 2011 Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering ME 213 DYNAMICS: MIDTERM EXAM 1 Open Book, Closed Notes, DO NOT Write on this Sheet Show All Work for Partial Credit Problem 1 (35 points): A projectile enters a resisting medium at = 0 with an initial x velocity = 800 ft/s and travels 4 in. before coming to rest. Assuming that the velocity v0 of the projectile is defined by the relation = where is expressed in ft/s and is v v0 kx, v x – in feet, determine (a) the initial acceleration of the projectile (at = 0), (b) the time x required for the projectile to penetrate 3.9 in. into the resisting medium. From measurements of a photograph, it has been found that as Problem 2 (15 points): the stream of water shown left the nozzle at it had a radius of curvature of 20 m. A, Determine (a) the initial velocity of the stream, (b) the radius of curvature of the vA stream as it reaches its maximum height at B. Problem 3 (35 points): A single wire passes through a ring at that is attached to ACB C an 11.5-lb sphere which revolves at a constant speed in the horizontal circle shown. v Knowing that = 50°, the tension in both portions of the wire is 7.6 lb, and the θ1 horizontal distance from the sphere to the pole is 18 in., determine (a) the angle (b) θ2, the speed v. Problem 4 (15 points): Rod oscillates about in a horizontal plane. The motion of OA O the collar of mass is defined by the relations m ; Determine the radial and transverse components of the force exerted on the collar.
