Solutions to FE Exam Review Problems in Dynamics,

Accessible Online at ewhighered.mcgraw-hill.com

Prepared by
Stephen F. Felszeghy
CSULA Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering
Start the Web page for the book: Beer and Johnston, Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and
Dynamics, Seventh Edition, 2004, at:
http://ewhighered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/007230491x/information_center_view0/
Look for the Online Learning Center box on the left. Click on the Student Edition link. Select a
chapter from the pull-down menu. My solutions are for the online problems that are associated with the
following chapters and topics:
Chapter 11, Kinematics of Particles
Chapter 12, Kinetics of Particles, Newton's Second Law
Chapter 13, Kinetics of Particles, Energy and Momentum Methods
Chapter 14, Systems of Particles
Chapter 15, Kinematics of Rigid Bodies
Chapter 16, Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies, Forces and Accelerations
Chapter 17, Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies, Energy and Momentum Methods
Chapter 19, Mechanical Vibrations
Click on FE Exam Review.
Solve the problem, and select the answer from the multiple choices at the bottom. Click on the rightarrow to proceed to the next problem. This process ends when you click on the right-arrow at the end of
the third problem. To continue to solve more problems related the same chapter, you will need to exit
by clicking on, say, Chapter XX at the top, and restart FE Exam Review. Now you will be
presented with new, or a mixture of old and new, problems. After repeated such trials, eventually no
more new problems will appear.
As I mentioned in class, the online answers and solutions leave a lot to be desired! Some answers are
totally wrong; one solution uses a diameter instead of a radius; one problem is missing a needed mass
value; and some solutions use the principle of conservation of energy when the correct applicable
principle is conservation of momentum. Such an error is absolutely inexcusable!
My solutions are in no specific order. However, they are segregated by chapter number. Since the
online problems are not numbered, I include sketches in my solutions to allow you to identify the
problems to which my solutions apply.
I wish you all the best on your Oct. 29 FE Exam!
