The center of gravity G of a 1.5-kg unbalanced tracking wheel is located at a distance r = 18 mm from its geometric center B. The radius of the wheel is R = 60 mm and its centroidal radius of gyration is 44 mm. At the instant shown, the center B of the wheel has a velocity of 0.35 m/s and an acceleration of 1.2 m/s2, both directed to the left. Knowing that the wheel rolls without sliding and neglecting the mass of the driving yoke AB, determine the horizontal force P applied to the yoke.

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_forwardThe 4-kg rod AB is attached to a collar of negligible mass at A and to a flywheel at B.

Knowing that for each cable TA = 3100 N and TB = 3300 N, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the roll, (b) the acceleration of its mass center.arrow_forwardThe rotor of an electric motor has an angular velocity of 3600 rpm when the load and power are cut off. The 110-lb rotor, which has a centroidal radius of gyration of 9 in., then coasts to rest. Knowing that the kinetic friction of the rotor produces a couple with a magnitude of 2.5 1b.ft determine the number of revolutions that the rotor executes before coming to rest.arrow_forwardThe flywheel of a punching machine has a mass of 300 kg and a radius of gyration of 600 mm. Each punching operation requires 2500 J of work. (a ) Knowing that the speed of the flywheel is 300 rpm just before a punching, determine the speed immediately after the punching.
