| Address questions regarding Assignment #11. |
| |
| Application of the principles of Conservation of Linear Momentum (COLM) to problems |
| involving variable mass. |
| |
| Examples are presented in Worked Problem Set #12. |
| Skills/Objectives: |
| |
| Solve COLM problems that involve mass entering and leaving the system. |
| Assessment: |
| |
| Homework Set #12: Work Homework problems 19-80, 81, 83, 84, 85 and 88 (due on Day 13). |
| Resources: |
| |
| Reference #4, Glover Chapter 5 (pp. 105-124). |
| Notes: |
| |
| The solution to each problem MUST include a units table, all necessary system diagrams, |
| all necessary conservation tables, and then the solution. |
| |
| It is of particular importance to point out to the students that the approach to variable |
| mass problems taken by R/S employs the relative input and output velocities while the |
| COLM approach used in the class employs velocities with respect to fixed reference frames. |

| |
| Review Reference #4, Glover Chapter 5 (pp. 105-124). |
