Homework Statement
Pytel Dynamics Problem 13.4
13.4 The particle passespoint O at the speed of 2.4 m/s. Between O and B, the speed changes
at the rate of 2.2√v m/s2, where v is the speed in m/s. Determine the magnitude of
the acceleration when the particle is (a) just to the left of pont A; and (b) just to right of point A.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
He gives solutions for a) 4.145 m/s2. I get the following:
for b) he gives 6.690 m/s2
My problem is how to solve part b. I have done trial and error by using the equation
v2/2=ats+C but I don't know what assumptions should I make.
