Chapter 18 Problem 18-63

Question

The system consists of 60-lb and 20-lb blocks A and B, respectively, and 5-lb pulleys C and D that can be treated as thin disks. Determine the speed of block A after block B has risen 5 ft, starting from rest. Assume that the cord does not slip on the pulleys, and neglect the mass of the cord.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 75 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The system consists of 60-lb and 20-lb blocks A and B, respectively, and 5-lb pulleys C and D that can be treated as thin disks. Determine the speed of block A after block B has risen 5 ft, starting from rest. Assume that the cord does not slip on the pulleys, and neglect the mass of the cord.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
