Solution:

A block is on a surface, weighing 200 N. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction for the surface is 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. Suppose the block is acted upon by a horizontal force, given by P (force in Newtons) = 10*t, where t is in seconds. Find the velocity (in m/s) of the block after 10 seconds.

Solution:

A rigid member ACB is shown in the figure. The member is supported at A and B by pinned and guided roller supports, respectively. A force P acts at C as shown. Let RAh and RBh be the horizontal reactions at supports A and B, respectively and RAv be the vertical reaction at support A. Self-weight of the member may be ignored.
