Chapter 15 Problem 15-148

Question

*15-148. The truck has a mass of 50 Mg when empty. When it is unloading 5 m3 of sand at a constant rate of 0.8 m3/s, the sand flows out the back at a speed of 7 m/s, measured relative to the truck, in the direction shown. If the truck is free to roll, determine its initial acceleration just as the load begins to empty. Neglect the mass of the wheels and any frictional resistance to motion. The density of sand is ps = 1520 kg/m3.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 15 problem number 172 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: *15-148. The truck has a mass of 50 Mg when empty. When it is unloading 5 m3 of sand at a constant rate of 0.8 m3/s, the sand flows out the back at a speed of 7 m/s, measured relative to the truck, in the direction shown. If the truck is free to roll, determine its initial acceleration just as the load begins to empty. Neglect the mass of the wheels and any frictional resistance to motion. The density of sand is ps = 1520 kg/m3.
From the textbook chapter Kinetics of a Particle: Impulse and Momentum you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
