B.P = 13.34 kW
C.P = 26.2 kW
D.P = 30.1 kW

3.When at A the bicyclist has a speed of vA = ft/s. If he coasts without pedaling from the top of the hill at A to the shore of B and then leaps off the shore, determine his speed at B and the distance x where he strikes the water at C. The rider and his bicycle have a total weight of 150 lb. Neglect the size of the bicycle and wind resistance.

A.vB = 35.0 ft/s, x = 41.2 ft-Ans
BvB = 35.0 ft/s, x = 36.1 ft

4The firing mechanism of a pinball machine consists of a plunger P having a mass of 0.25 kg and a spring of stiffness k = 300 N/m. When s = 0, the spring is compressed 50 mm. If the arm is pulled back such that s = 100 mm and released, determine the speed of the 0.3 kg pinball B just before the plunger strikes the stop, i.e., s = 0. Assume all sufaces of contact to be smooth. The ball moves in the horizontal plane. Note that the ball slides without rolling.

A.v = 4.47 m/s
B.v = 3.30 m/s-Ans
C.v = 2.34 m/s
D.v = 3.16 m/s
