A basket and its contents weigh 10 lb. A 20-lb monkey grabs the other end of the rope and very quickly (almost instantaneously) accelerates by pulling hard on the rope until he is moving with a constant speed of vm/r = 2 ft/s measured relative to the rope. The monkey then continues climbing at this constant rate relative to the rope for 3 seconds. How fast is the basket rising at the end of the 3 seconds? Neglect the mass of the pulley and the rope.

1.	A basket and its contents weigh 10 lb. A 20-lb monkey grabs the other end of the rope and very quickly (almost instantaneously) accelerates by pulling hard on the rope until he is moving with a constant speed of vm/r = 2 ft/s measured relative to the rope. The monkey then continues climbing at this constant rate relative to the rope for 3 seconds. How fast is the basket rising at the end of the 3 seconds? Neglect the mass of the pulley and the rope.

The uniform rod AB has a weight of 3 lb and is released from rest without rotating from the position shown. As it falls, the end A strikes a hook S, which provides a permanent connection. Determine the speed at which the other end B strikes the wall at C.
The uniform pole has a mass of 15 kg and falls from rest when = 90° until it strikes the edge at A, = 60°. If the pole then begins to pivot about this point after contact, determine the pole's angular velocity just after the impact. Assume that the pole does not slip at B as it falls until it strikes A.
The square plate, where a = 0.75 ft, has a weight of 4 lb and is rotating on the smooth surface with a constant angular velocity of 1 = 10 rad/s. Determine the new angular velocity of the plate just after its corner strikes the peg P and the plate to rotate about P without rebounding.
A horizontal circular platform has a weight of 300 lb and a radius of gyration about the z axis passing through its center O of kz = 8 ft. The platform is free to rotate about the z axis and is initially at rest. A man, having a weight of 150 lb, begins to run along the edge in a circular path of radius 10 ft. If he has a speed of 4 ft/s and maintains this speed relative to the platform, compute the angular velocity of the platform.
The 50-kg cylinder has an angular velocity of 30 rad/s when it is brought into contact with the horizontal surface at C. If the coefficient of friction is c = 0.2, determine how long it takes for the cylinder to stop spinning. What force is developed at the pin A during this time? The axis of the cylinder is connected to two symmetrical links. (Only AB is shown.) For the computation, neglect the weight of the links.
The flywheel A has a mass of 30 kg and a radius of gyration of kc = 95 mm. Disk B has a mass of 25 kg, is pinned at D, and is coupled to the flywheel using a belt which is subjected to a tension such that it does not slip at its contacting surfaces. If a motor supplies a counter-clockwise torque or twist to the flywheel, having a magnitude of M = (12t) N m, where t is measured in seconds, determine the angular velocity of the disk 3 s after the motor is turned on. Initially, the flywheel is at rest.
The 12-kg disk has an angular velocity of = 20 rad/s. If the brake ABC is applied such that the magnitude of force P varies with time as shown, determine the time needed to stop the disk. The coefficient of friction at B is = 0.4.
Gear A has a weight of 1.5 lb, a radius of 0.2 ft, and a radius of gyration of ko = 0.13ft. The coefficient of friction between the gear rack B and the horizontal surface is = 0.3. If the rack has a weight of 0.8 lb and is initially sliding to the left with a velocity of (vB)2 = 8 ft/s to the left. Neglect friction between the rack and the gear and assume that the gear exerts only a horizontal force on the rack.
A constant torque or twist of M = 0.4N m is applied to the center gear A. If the system starts from rest, determine the angular velocity of each of the three (equal) smaller gears in 3 s. The smaller gears (B) are pinned at their centers, and the mass and centroidal radii of gyration of the gears are given in the figure.
