- In order to uncoil electrical wire from a 0.6-m-radius spool fixed to a truck, a worker drives to the left with a speed of vA = 5 m/s. At the same time, a second worker holds the cable as he walks to the right with a speed of vB = 3 m/s. Knowing that at the instant shown the thickness of wire on the spool is 40 mm, determine (a) the instantaneous center of rotation of the spool, (b) the velocity of point D on the inside of the spool.arrow_forwardThe earth makes one complete revolution on its axis in 23 h 56 min.Knowing that the mean radius of the earth is 3960 mi, determine the linear velocity and acceleration of a point on the surface of the earth (a) at the equator, (b) at Philadelphia, latitude 40° north, (c) at the North Pole.arrow_forwardA helicopter moves horizontally in the x direction at a speed of 120 mi/h.
