Hi, fellows ! In an arrangement of 2 slinding blocks connected by a cable (rope). I can state the blocks position and their velocity as a consequence. On the other hand, i can't figure out the cable velocity...which concept should I apply for ? VB=18in/s > (Info) VA= 27 in/s > (found)...

The industry era is certainly OVER and only a few "operators" will be kept on, so the only way will be creativity and the applied research to feed the needs of industry. PHD's of the world get ready to the task...

HalsofIvy, thanks a lot for your response ! My thoughts have been the same of yours.. But, the problem is that the book responses are: cable D Velocity is assumed to be + 36 in/s while the Vcd is - 18 in/s. therefore, that makes Vc = + 18 in/s. What results in a complete difference...Maybe...

That's correct, Chen !

Can any of you help me in how to treat the cables in the arrangement pulleys and blocks attached ?. thanks, Leonel

Miri, Take a look on a book entitled "Vector Mechanics for Engineers", authors Beer & Johnston. This book is very educative. You will not regret at.

Hi, for all ! could any of you help me to understand the velocities on cables linked to pulleys. Please, see the attached problem. thank for all of you, Leonel
