Ohlord, I can't think atm
Can someone solve these 2 simultaneous equations for me.

5.5sinx = wgcosx
And
5.5cosx + wgsinx = 7.3

It's given you the maximum velocity, at max velocity acceleration is 0.

So, since we have the equation for velocity , we need to change it to acceleration by differentiating it.
This gives us , 12ot-3t^2
We take this as 0 and find the value of t

120t-3t^2 = 0
3t(40t-4) = 0
t= 40

Now that we have a value of t , replace it in the original equation for velocity and take velocity as 6.4 since thats it's max.
k(60t^2-t^3) = 6.4
k(32000) = 6.4
k= 6.4/32000
k= 0.0002

Hope you get it x)


You're welcome.
Got Itt... :)
Thanks .. :D
Can u please explain q3? same paper..

here is the whole idea (or how i did it) just draw a vertical line at point B to get a letter Z, and by using trigonometry get the angles so you can make a resolution, then Tension c and Tension a will be equal to each other (with the sine and cosine of course) and 8 would be equal both added together.

then get the tensions by substitution between both equations.

Oh that's easy just make 2 simultaneous equations.
Use s=ut+1/2at^2

So your first equation is: 55=5u+12.5a
And second one is: 120=10u+50a

Solve them simultaneously, you should get a=0.4 and u=10 m.s-1
