Problem 3-83. The small 180 g slider A


moves without appreciable friction in the
hollow tube, which rotates in a horizontal
plane with a constant speed = 7 rad/s.
The slider is launched with an initial speed
r0 = 20 m/s relative to the tube at the
inertial coordinates x = 150 mm and y = 0. Problem 3-127. The 0.5 kg collar slides

is in meters and is in radians. The collar is
released from rest at A and slides to B under
