Dynamics: Lecture Notes for Sections 12.9-12.10 2 3 APPLICATIONS (continued) Rope and pulley arrangements are often used to assist in lifting heavy objects. The total lifting force required from the truck depends on the acceleration of the cabinet. How can we determine the acceleration and velocity of the cabinet if the acceleration of the truck is known? 4 DEPENDENT MOTION (Section 12.9) In many kinematics problems, the motion of one object will depend on the motion of another object. The blocks in this figure are connected by an inextensible cord wrapped around a pulley. If block A moves downward along the inclined plane, block B will move up the other incline. The motion of each block can be related mathematically by defining position coordinates , s A and s B . Each coordinate axis is defined from a fixed point or datum line , measured positive along each plane in the direction of motion of each block.
Dynamics: Lecture Notes for Sections 12.9-12.10 3 5 DEPENDENT MOTION (continued) Position coordinates s A and s B can be defined from fixed datum lines extending from the center of the pulley along each incline to blocks A and B. If the cord has a fixed length , the position coordinates s A and s B are related mathematically by the equation s A + l CD + s B = l T Here l T is the total cord length and l CD is the length of cord passing over arc CD on the pulley. 6 DEPENDENT MOTION (continued) The negative sign indicates that as A moves down the incline (positive s A direction), B moves up the incline (negative s B direction). Accelerations can be found by differentiating the velocity expression. Prove to yourself that a B = -a A . The velocities of blocks A and B can be related by differentiating the position equation. Note that l CD and l T remain constant , so dl CD /dt = dl T /dt = 0 ds A /dt + ds B /dt = 0 => v B = -v A

Dynamics: Lecture Notes for Sections 12.9-12.10 4 7 EXAMPLE Consider a more complicated example. Position coordinates (s A and s B ) are defined from fixed datum lines, measured along the direction of motion of each block. Note that s B is only defined to the center of the pulley above block B, since this block moves with the pulley. Also, h is a constant.

### What students are saying

• As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

• I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

• The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
