The parasailing system shown uses a winch to pull the rider in toward the boat, which is traveling with a constant velocity. During the interval when θ is between 20° and 40° (where t = 0 at θ = 20°), the angle increases at the constant rate of 2°/s. During this time, the length of the rope is defined by the relationship

- 1- A particle moves along the x axis. Its position varies with time according to the expression x=-41+ 2f where x is in meters and t is in seconds. The position-time graph for this motion is shown in Figure. Note that the particle moves in the negative x direction for the first second of motion, is momentarily at rest at the moment 1 = 1 s, and moves in the positive x direction at times /> 1 s. (A) Determine the displacement of the particle in the time intervals t=0 to 1=1 s and t= 1 s to / = 3 s.

The driver decelerates constantly at 4 m/s² until it is 70 m away from the former location of the obstruction, then accelerates at 3 m/s² for 15 seconds. 1.

The center of mass of the ASV is located at G and the ASV is symmetric about its vertical axis. The ASV also experiences a drag force that is proportional to its speed and opposes its velocity. At the instant shown, the drag force is D = -kvi₁ where k is a drag coefficient. 1. To model the mass moment of inertia, approximate the ASV as consisting of three rigid bodies: a flat plate as a center body of mass 6m and two slender rods housing the propulsion assemblies, each of mass m, at the outboard sides of the vehicle. Determine the mass moment of inertia, IG, about the vertical axis passing through the center of mass G. (Hint: Use the parallel axis theorem.) 2.
