vector BC equal to yector AB is the change in ve-
locity during the next time interval At. Therefore,
in the time interval 3At after the beginning bf
action of the force, the direction of velocity will
be represented by vector OD, and AB = BC =
Let the projections of vector AB on the x- and
y-axes be Av, and Aup. Then we obtain two equa-
tions:
(v Avx) 2 + Ay?, =
v 2
(v+ 2Avs)2+(2Avy)2= —
16 •
Since the final velocity satisfies the relation
2
Vf = (v ± 3AVO^2 (^3 AVy) 2 ,
using the previous equations, we obtain
vf = 4— v.
1.34. Since the motion occurs in the horizontal
plane, the vertical component of the force acting
on the load is mg, and the horizontal component is
given by F^2 — (mg) 2 = mgl/a 2 1, where a =
1.25 (Fig. 145). The horizontal acceleration of the
