• Previously, problems dealing with the motion of
particles were solved through the fundamental
equation of motion,
• The current chapter introduces two additional
methods of analysis.
SF =ma.
• Method of work and energy: directly relates force,
mass, velocity and displacement.
• Method of impulse and momentum: directly
relates force, mass, velocity, and time.

Two blocks are joined by an inextensible
cable as shown. If the system is released
from rest, determine the velocity of block
A after it has moved 2 m. Assume that the
coefficient of friction between block A
and the plane is mk = 0.25 and that the
pulley is weightless and frictionless.

energy separately to blocks A and B.
• When the two relations are combined,

Sample Problem 13.3
13 - 25
A spring is used to stop a 60 kg package
which is sliding on a horizontal surface.
The spring has a constant k = 20 kN/m
and is held by cables so that it is initially
compressed 120 mm. The package has a
velocity of 2.5 m/s in the position shown
and the maximum deflection of the spring
is 40 mm.
Determine (a) the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the package and surface
and (b) the velocity of the package as it
passes again through the position shown.
SOLUTION:
• Apply the principle of work and energy
between the initial position and the
point at which the spring is fully
compressed and the velocity is zero.
The only unknown in the relation is the
friction coefficient.
• Apply the principle of work and energy
for the rebound of the package. The
only unknown in the relation is the
velocity at the final position.

The dumbwaiter D and its load have a
combined mass of 300 kg, while the
counterweight C has a mass of 400 kg.
Determine the power delivered by the
electric motor M when the dumbwaiter
(a) is moving up at a constant speed of
2.5 m/s and (b) has an instantaneous
velocity of 2.5 m/s and an acceleration of
1 m/s2, both directed upwards.
SOLUTION:
Force exerted by the motor
cable has same direction as
the dumbwaiter velocity.
Power delivered by motor is
equal to FvD, vD = 2.5 m/s.
• In the first case, bodies are in uniform
motion. Determine force exerted by
motor cable from conditions for static
equilibrium.
• In the second case, both bodies are
accelerating. Apply Newton’s

Packages are thrown down an
incline at A with a velocity of 1
m/s. The packages slide along
the surface ABC to a conveyor
belt which moves with a
velocity of 2 m/s. Knowing that
mk= 0.25 between the packages
and the surface ABC, determine
the distance d if the packages
are to arrive at C with a velocity
of 2 m/s.
SOLUTION:
The problem deals with a change in
position and different velocities, so use
work-energy.
• Find the kinetic energy at points A
and C.
• Determine the work done between
points A and C as a function of d.
• Use the work-energy relationship
and solve for d.
• Draw FBD of the box to help us

If you wanted to bring the package to a complete stop at the
bottom of the ramp, would it work to place a spring as shown?
Would the package ever come to a stop?
mk= 0.25
No, because the potential energy of the spring would turn
into kinetic energy and push the block back up the ramp
Yes, eventually enough energy would be dissipated
through the friction between the package and ramp.

The 250 g pellet is pushed against the
spring and released from rest at A.
Neglecting friction, determine the
smallest deflection of the spring for
which the pellet will travel around the
loop and remain in contact with the
loop at all times.
SOLUTION:
• Since the pellet must remain in contact
with the loop, the force exerted on the
pellet must be greater than or equal to
zero. Setting the force exerted by the
loop to zero, solve for the minimum
velocity at D.
• Apply the principle of conservation of

A section of track for a roller coaster
consists of two circular arcs AB and CD
joined by a straight portion BC. The radius
of CD is 80 m. The car and its occupants,
of total mass 300 kg, reach Point A with
practically no velocity and then drop freely
along the track. Determine the normal
force exerted by the track on the car at
point D. Neglect air resistance and rolling
resistance.
SOLUTION:
• This is two part problem – you
will need to find the velocity of
the car using work-energy, and
then use Newton’s second law
to find the normal force.
• Draw a diagram with the car
at points A and D, and
define your datum. Use
conservation of energy to
solve for vD
• Draw FBD and KD of the car
at point D, and determine the

Sample Problem 13.14
13 - 80
A ball is thrown against a frictionless,
vertical wall. Immediately before the
ball strikes the wall, its velocity has a
magnitude v and forms angle of 30o
with the horizontal. Knowing that
e = 0.90, determine the magnitude and
direction of the velocity of the ball as
it rebounds from the wall.
SOLUTION:
• Resolve ball velocity into components
normal and tangential to wall.
• Impulse exerted by the wall is normal
to the wall. Component of ball
momentum tangential to wall is
conserved.
• Assume that the wall has infinite mass
so that wall velocity before and after
impact is zero. Apply coefficient of
restitution relation to find change in
normal relative velocity between wall
and ball, i.e., the normal ball velocity.

A 30 kg block is dropped from a height
of 2 m onto the the 10 kg pan of a
spring scale. Assuming the impact to be
perfectly plastic, determine the
maximum deflection of the pan. The
constant of the spring is k = 20 kN/m.
SOLUTION:
• Apply the principle of conservation of
energy to determine the velocity of the
block at the instant of impact.
• Since the impact is perfectly plastic, the
block and pan move together at the same
velocity after impact. Determine that
velocity from the requirement that the
total momentum of the block and pan is
conserved.
• Apply the principle of conservation of
energy to determine the maximum
deflection of the spring.

A 2-kg block A is pushed up against a spring
compressing it a distance x= 0.1 m. The block is
then released from rest and slides down the 20º
incline until it strikes a 1-kg sphere B, which is
suspended from a 1 m inextensible rope. The
spring constant k=800 N/m, the coefficient of
friction between A and the ground is 0.2, the
distance A slides from the unstretched length of
the spring d=1.5 m, and the coefficient of
restitution between A and B is 0.8. When =40o,
find (a) the speed of B (b) the tension in the rope.
SOLUTION:
• This is a multiple step problem.
Formulate your overall approach.
• Use work-energy to find the
velocity of the block just
before impact
• Use conservation of
momentum to determine
the speed of ball B after
the impact
