Problem 02.043 - Deflections along a rigid beam Each of the rods BD and CE is made of brass (E = 105 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 200 mm2. Determine the deflection of end A of the rigid member ABC caused by the load P = 5 kN. The deflection of end A is mm .

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
