Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Systems of Particles: Problem 4_66
4/66 At a bulk loading station, gravel leaves the hopper at the rate of 220 lb/sec with a velocity of 10 ft/sec in the direction shown and is deposited on the moving flatbed truck. The tractive force between the driving wheels and the road is 380 lb, which overcomes the 200 lb of frictional road resistance. Determine the acceleration $a$ of the truck 4 seconds after the hopper is opened over the truck bed, at which instant the truck has a forward speed of 1.5 mi/hr. The empty weight of the truck is 12,000 lb.
π Solution Approach
Given: 220 lb, 10 ft, 380 lb, 200 lb, 12,000 lb
