A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a
20 incline. The spring has a constant 30 kN/m k = and is held by
cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. Knowing that the
velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and

SOLUTION
Let position 1 be the starting position 8 m from the end of the spring when it is compressed 50 mm by the
cable. Let position 2 be the position of maximum compression. Let x be the additional compression of the
spring. Use the principle of conservation of energy.

PROBLEM 13.93
Collar A has a mass of 3 kg and is attached to a spring of constant
1200 N/m and of undeformed length equal to 0.5 m. The system is

mass of the rod and the effect of friction, determine the radial and
transverse components of the velocity of the collar when r = 0.6 m.

PROBLEM 13.122
A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a
winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the
winch applies a constant force of 2500 N and the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and
the log is 0.45, determine the time for the log to reach a
speed of 0.5m/s.
