The block A and attached rod have a combined mass of 50 kg and are confined to move along the guide under the action of the 796-N applied force. The uniform horizontal rod has a mass of 15 kg and is welded to the block at B. Friction in the guide is negligible. Required:
Compute the bending moment M exerted by the weld on the rod at B. The bending moment is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise.

The particle p starts from rest at point a at time t = 0 and changes its speed thereafter at a constant rate of 2.8g as it follows the horizontal path shown. determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration (a) just before point b, (b) just after point b, and (c) as it passes point c. state your directions relative to the x-axis shown (ccw positive) and choose the angle with the smallest magnitude.
