Question

(24 points) A smooth guide rod in the vertical plane is semicircular with radius r = 0.5 m. The 0.3 kg collar A is released from rest at $\theta$ = 60°. The spring has an unstretched length $l_0$ = 0.2 m and constant k = 100 N/m. Determine the speed of the collar when it reaches the peak of the semicircle at point B.

Step 1

First, let's find the gravitational potential energy of the collar at point A. The gravitational potential energy is given by the equation: PE = mgh where m is the mass of the collar (0.3 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height Show more…
