Assignment No. & Assignment 2 of 3 - Dynamic Engineering Title: The purpose of this assignment is to (list learning outcomes):LO1 2.1Determine the behaviour of dynamic mechanical systems in which uniform acceleration is present 2.2Determine the effects of energy transfer in mechanical systems 2.3Determine the behaviour of oscillating mechanical systems . Scenario:

A company made an interview for the post of electric engineer to test his abilities. As a second round of the interview the candidates has to take a written test in dynamic engineering. The candidates had to perform the following tasks.
Task1: Assessment criteria LO2.1 A lift is accelerated from rest to 3m/s at a rate of 1.5m/sec 2. It then moves at constant velocity for 8 seconds and then decelerates to rest at 1.2 m/sec 2 .Draw the velocity time graph and deduce the distance travelled average velocity during the journey.?

Task2:Assessment criteria LO2.1 A drum with a mass of M kg, radius r mm and radius of gyration of K mm has a rope of negligible mass wrapped around it and attached to a load of 20kg .Determine the angular acceleration of the drum when the load is released. Fig: 1

Task3: Assessment criteria LO2.2 (grading criteria M3) Part A: Explain different types of energy in mechanical systems with their transfer mechanism? Part B: A car of mass Mkg stands on an incline 5 0 . If the hand brake is released , what will be the velocity of the car travelling 100m down the incline if the resistance to motion total 60N?

Candidate no: 1 2 3

M kg 850 700 900

Task 4: Assessment criteria LO2.3 Part A : An object moving with simple harmonic motion has amplitude of 1.2m and a periodic time of 3s. Determine the maximum velocity and the maximum acceleration and at what point in the oscillation they occur? Part B: Investigate the behaviour of oscillating mechanical systems ?(Grading criteria D2) Assignment brief
