Chapter 12 Problem 12-145

Question

Particles A and B are traveling counter-clockwise around a circular track at a constant speed of 8 m>s. If at the instant shown the speed of A begins to increase by (at )A = (0.4sA) m>s2, where sA is in meters, determine the distance measured counterclockwise along the track from B to A when t = 1 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each particle at this instant?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 145 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Particles A and B are traveling counter-clockwise around a circular track at a constant speed of 8 m>s. If at the instant shown the speed of A begins to increase by (at )A = (0.4sA) m>s2, where sA is in meters, determine the distance measured counterclockwise along the track from B to A when t = 1 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each particle at this instant?
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
