If the front ends of both cars cross line CC at the same instant, and each driver minimizes his or her time in the curve, determine the distance d which the second car has yet to go along its own path to reach line DD at the instant the first car reaches there. The maximum horizontal acceleration for car A is 0.60g and that for car B is 0.76g. Which car crosses line DD first? 2/121. The fi gure shows a portion of a plate cam used in the design of a control mechanism. The motion of pin P in the fi xed slot of the plate cam is controlled by the vertical guide A, which travels horizontally at a constant speed of 6 in. /sec over the central sinusoidal portion of the slot. Determine the normal component of acceleration when the pin is at the position x = 2 in. 2/122. A football player releases a ball with the initial conditions shown in the figure.
