Assignment:
Question 1. Figure in shows an arrangement of a carriage system. A force P is applied on the carriage B, moving rightward at 3 m/s^2 constant acceleration. At the instant shown the velocity of B is 2 m/s.
(i) Determine the velocity of B relative to A.
(ii) Determine the acceleration of B relative to A.
(iii) Determine the absolute velocity of C, carriage A.
(iv) Determine the absolute acceleration of carriage A.
(v) Determine the force P and the tension in the rope if mass A = 50 kg and mass B = 40 kg. Neglect the masses of pulleys, rope and the friction forces at the wheels.
