    MEC420 – TEST 1 Name: Score:

    (Mar. 2019 – June. 2019)


    Fakulti Kejuruteraan Mekanikal
    Universiti Teknologi MARA No.UiTM: Group: rk

    Instruction:

    1. Answer all questions


    2. Solution shall include all free-body diagrams, calculations, plots, assumptions and justification, as deemed
    necessary. Marks will be given or deducted accordingly.

    Question 1

    (a) Briefly discuss, with the aid of diagrams, the commonly used coordinate systems in dynamic analysis
    and their applications.

    [CO1,PO1,C2,5 marks]

    (b) The car A in the Figure Q1 below has a forward speed of 18 km/h. It is decelerating at 3 m/s 2. At the
    same instant the Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate of 3 revolutions per minute. Determine the
    velocity and acceleration of the car A relative to observer B, who rides in a chair on the Ferris wheel
    and plot both vectors.

    Question 2

    (a) Briefly discuss, with the aids of diagrams, the equation of motion in kinetic analysis of a particle.

    [CO1,PO1,C2,5 marks]

    (b) The 25 kg block A and 50 kg block B as shown in Figure Q2 are originally at rest, when a constant
    force of 500 N is applied to block B. Neglecting the friction and the mass of the pulleys, and assuming
    kinetic friction coefficient between block B and the horizontal surface is μk = 0.1, determine:

    i. Accelerations of block A and block B.


    ii. Tension in the cables.

    Gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s2
