ENT142/3 - ENGINEERING DYNAMICS (SEMESTER 2 - 2014/15 ACADEMIC SESSION) TUTORIAL 1 QUESTION 1 1. The jet-powered boat starts from rest at s=0 and travels along a straight line with the speed described by the graph. Construct the s-t and a-t graph for the time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 50s. Figure 1 ENT142/3 - ENGINEERING DYNAMICS (SEMESTER 2 - 2014/15 ACADEMIC SESSION) QUESTION 2 The boy at A attempts to throw a ball over the roof of a barn with an initial speed of vA = 15 m/s. Determine the angle ϴA at which the ball must be thrown so that it reaches its maximum height at C. Also, find the distance d where the boy should stand to make the throw.

Given the coefficient of static friction is the coefficient of kinetic friction is and the towing force is P = (90t2) N, where t is in seconds. (a) Does the crate moves at t = 2 s? Prove your answer with calculation. (b) Determine the crate's acceleration in t = 3 s. Figure 6
