Q1

The 10-kg collar A is released from rest at the

position shown in Figure Q5. It slides with
negligible friction down the fixed rod of quarter
circular shape to point B and then slides along the
fixed straight rod inclined at = 30o from
horizontal with the coefficient of friction = 0.25.
Determine (a) the speed of the collar at point B,
and (b) the maximum deflection of the spring
knowing that the spring (k = 1.2 kN/m) is initially
unstretched.
