Concept explainers
In order to determine the mass moment of inertia of a flywheel of radius 600 mm, a 12-kg block is attached to a wire that is wrapped around the flywheel. The block is released and is observed to fall 3 m in 4.6 s. To eliminate bearing friction from the computation, a second block of mass 24 kg is used and is observed to fall 3 m in 3.1 s. Assuming that the moment of the couple due to friction remains constant, determine the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel.

Introduction To Finite Element Analysis And Design
- The rotor of an electric motor has a mass of 25 kg, and it is observed that 4.2 min is required for the rotor to coast to rest from an angular velocity of 3600 rpm. Knowing that kinetic friction produces a couple of magnitude 1.2 N.m, determine the centroidal radius of gyration for the rotor.arrow_forwardThe space capsule has no angular velocity when the jet at A is activated for 1 s in a direction parallel to the axis. Knowing that the capsule has a mass of 1000 kg, that its radii of gyration are Kz=Ky =1.00m and Kz=1.25m A produces a thrust of 50 N, determine the axis of precession and the rates of precession and spin after the jet has stopped.arrow_forwardA 1.6-kg tube AB can slide freely on rod DE which in turn can rotate freely in a horizontal plane. Initially the assembly is rotating with an angular velocity of magnitude w = 5 rad/s and the tube is held in position by a cord. The moment of inertia of the rod and bracket about the vertical axis of rotation is 0.30 kg.m2 and the centroidal moment of inertia of the tube about a vertical axis is 0.0025 kg.m2If the cord suddenly breaks, determine (a) the angular velocity of the assembly after the tube has moved to end E, (b) the energy lost during the plastic impact at E.arrow_forward
- The 80-mm-radius gear shown has a mass of 5 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of 60 mm. The 4-kg rod AB is attached to the center of the gear and to a pin at B that slides freely in a vertical slot. Knowing that the system is released from rest when 0 = 60°, determine the velocity of the center of the gear when 0 = 20°.arrow_forwardThe 100-kg projectile shown has a radius of gyration of 100 mm about its axis of symmetry Gx and a radius of gyration of 250 mm about the transverse axis Gy. Its angular velocity v can be resolved into two components; one component, directed along Gx, measures the rate of spin of the projectile, while the other component, directed along GD, measures its rate of precession. Knowing that θ= 6° and that the angular momentum of the projectile about its mass center G is determine (a) the rate of spin, (b) ) the rate of precession.arrow_forwardA four-bladed airplane propeller has a mass of 160 kg and a radius of gyration of 800 mm. Knowing that the propeller rotates at 1600 rpm as the airplane is traveling in a circular path of 600-m radius at 540 km/h, determine the magnitude of the couple exerted by the propeller on its shaft due to the rotation of the airplane.arrow_forward
- The rotor of an electric motor has an angular velocity of 3600 rpm when the load and power are cut off. The 120-lb rotor, which has a centroidal radius of gyration of 9 in., then coasts to rest. Knowing that kinetic friction results in a couple of magnitude 2.5 lb·ft exerted on the rotor, determine the number of revolutions that the rotor executes before coming to rest.arrow_forwardA truck with four wheels, each 750 mm diameter, travels on rails round a curve of 75 m at a speed of 50 km/h. The total mass of the truck is 5 t and its centre of gravity is midway between the axles, 1.05 m above the rails and midway between them. Each pair of wheels is driven by a motor rotating in the opposite direction to the wheels and at four times the speed. The moment of inertia of each pair of wheels is 15 Kgm2. The rails lie on a horizontal plane and 1.45 m apart. Determine the load on each rail.arrow_forwardTwo disks A and B, of mass m 1 kg each and of radius 10 cm, are placed on a horizontal table. The disk A is launched in translation with a speed of 10 m/s along the y axis, B is at rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the disks is 0.5. The line of impact is at an angle of 60° with the x-axis. The moment of inertia of each disk around its center of mass is I = 1₂ = 0.005 kg.m². The coefficient of restitution between the two disks is e=0.6. a) Determine the velocities of the centers of the two disks, just after the impact. b) Calculate the angular velocities of the disks, just after the impact. c) Calculate the energy loss during the impact.arrow_forward
