Dynamics: Velocity of sphere after collision

Two spheres each of mass m, can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sphere A is moving at a speed Vo=16 ft/s when it strikes sphere B which is at rest and the impact causes sphere B to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2 Knowing that 0.7s after the collision one piece reaches point C and 0.9s after the collis ...continues

Dynamics

Just in case you can't read the writing on the attached file it states: Two monkeys of equal weight are hanging in equilibrium at the ends of a rope passing over a relatively light pulley for which the bearing friction can be neglected. Then the monkey on the right begins to climb the rope while the monkey on the left simply ho ...continues

Introduction to management science

I like to solve this problem with the help of an OTA The Dynaco Manufacturing Company produces a particular product in an assembly line operation. One of the machines on the line is a drill press that has a single assembly line feeding into it. A partially completed unit arrives at the press to be worked on every 7.5 minutes, ...continues

the probability

Could you please help me answering this example with the explanation? A young engineer has invented holographic mobile phones and has approached a venture capital company to invest in it. The venture capital company considers the product to be an all or nothing product: either everyone will want one because everyone else has ...continues

The fault tree

There are 2 examples in an attachment about the fault tree. (See attached file for full problem description) --- (1) Determine P(F) if P(A) = 0.87, P(B) = 0.41, P(C) = 0.41, P(D) = 0.48 and P(E) = 0.32. All events are independent of each other except that D and E are mutually excusive, and C is a subset of A. (See diag ...continues
