WORK ENERGY METHOD preliminaries
Work of a Constant Force – depends only on the initial and final
positions of its point of application, that is the work is independent of
the path from point to point.

the satellite. The work is determined only by the initial and final

Principle of Work and Kinetic Energy
States that the work done by all forces acting on a particle (the work
of the resultant force) equals the change in the Kinetic Energy of the
particle.

Problem
The collar A of mass =1.8 kg is shown in the figure, slides on a frictionless rod that
lies in the vertical plane. A rope is attached to A and passed over the pulley at B.
The constant horizontal force P is applied to the end of the rope. The collar is
released from rest at position 1. (1) Determine the speed of the collar in position 2
if P = 20 N. (2) Find the smallest value of P for which the collar will reach position 2.
Solution:
According to FBD shown, only W and P do work on the collar because
NA is perpendicular to the rod which is the path of the collar. (NA shall
be deleted because it is not part of the active force diagram).
Work of W: W=mg therefore:
UW(1-2)= -mgh
where h is the change of elevation.
For (2): Find the smallest value of P for which the collar will reach position 2 .
For this condition of U1-2= KE2 –KE1
where:
U1-2 = work contributions due to W and P
KE2 = 0 , resting collar at position 2.
KE1 = 0 , resting collar at initial position
becomes:
−𝑚𝑔ℎ + 𝑃 𝐿1 − 𝐿2 = 0
Solution (continuation):
For (b): Find the smallest value of P for which the collar will reach position 2 .
For this condition of U1-2= KE2 –KE1
where:
U1-2 = work contributions due to W and P
KE2 = 0 , resting collar at position 2.
KE1 = 0 , resting collar at initial position
becomes:
−𝑚𝑔ℎ + 𝑃 𝐿1 − 𝐿2 = 0
Substituting values:

−`2 (30) 𝑥22 − 0 − 3.139𝑥2 = 0 − 2 (1.6)(6)2
𝑥2 = 1.2850 𝑚, −1.4942 𝑚
Solution (continuation):
Figure (c) shows the FBD of the block at rest at position 2.
For (2): show that the block does not remain at rest in the position found in part(1).
From figure (c)
P = spring force = k(𝑥2 ) = 30 1.2850 = 38.55 𝑁 (𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑓𝑡)
The spring force is resisted by the static friction force:
𝐹𝑠 = 𝜇𝑠 𝑁𝐴 = 0.3 15.696 = 4.709 𝑁
For (3): Determine the velocity of the block upon returning to position 1.
