Chapter 13, Problem 13.181(choose chapter or problem)
The three blocks shown are identical. Blocks B and C are at rest when block B is hit by block A, which is moving with a velocity \(v_{A}\) of 3 ft/s. After the impact, which is assumed to be perfectly plastic (e = 0), the velocity of blocks A and B decreases due to friction, while block C picks up speed, until all three blocks are moving with the same velocity v. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces is \(m_{k} = 0.20\), determine (a) the time required for the three blocks to reach the same velocity, (b) the total distance traveled by each block during that time.
