- The blade of a portable saw and the rotor of its motor have a total weight of 2.5 lb and a combined radius of gyration of 1.5 in. Knowing that the blade rotates as shown at the rate w1= 1500 rpm, determine the magnitude and direction of the couple M that a worker must exert on the handle of the saw to rotate it with a constant angular velocity w2= -(2.4 rad/s)j.arrow_forwardIn the helicopter shown; a vertical tail propeller is used to pre- vent rotation of the cab as the speed of the main blades is changed. Assuming that the tail propeller is not operating determine the final angular velocity of the cab after the speed of the main blades has been changed from I80 to 240 rpm. (The speed of the main blades is measured relative to the cab, and the cab has a centroidal moment of inertia of 650 lb.ft.s2. Each of the four main blades is assumed to be a slender rod 14 ft weighing 55 lb.)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
- A 255-lbf block is suspended from an inextensible cable which is wrapped around a drum of 1.75-ft radius rigidly attached to a flywheel. The drum and flywheel have a combined centroidal moment of inertia 12 lb . ft . s 2 . At the instant shown, the velocity of the block is unknown directed downward. Knowing that the bearing at A is poorly lubricated and that the bearing friction is equivalent to a couple M of magnitude 65 lb .ft, determine the velocity of the block before it has moved 3.5 ft downward if at S2 speed is 13.5ft/sarrow_forwardA 1200-kg satellite designed to study the sun has an angular velocity of w0 = (0.050 rad/s)i + (0.075 rad/s)k when two small jets are activated at A and B in a direction parallel to the y axis. Knowing that the coordinate axes are principal centroidal axes, that the radii of gyration of the satellite are and that each jet produces a 50-N thrust, determine (a ) the required operating time of each jet if the angular velocity of the satellite is to be reduced to zero, (b ) the resulting change in the velocity of the mass center G.arrow_forwardIn 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.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_forwardA 240-lb block is suspended from an inextensible cable which is wrapped around a drum of 1.25-ft radius rigidly attached to a flywheel. The drum and flywheel have a combined centroidal moment of intertia of 10.5 lb-ft-s^2. At the instant shown, the velocity of the block is 6 ft/s directed downward. The bearing at A as a frictional moment of 60 lb-ft. What is the kinetic energy of the system after the block moved after 4ft? (in ft-lb)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_forward
- A 48-kg advertising panel of length 2a = 2.4 m and width 2b = 1.6 m is kept rotating at a constant rate w1 about its horizontal axis by a small electric motor attached at A to frame ACB. This frame itself is kept rotating at a constant rate w2 about a vertical axis by a second motor attached at C to the column CD. Knowing that the panel and the frame complete a full revolution in 6 s and 12 s, respectively, express, as a function of the angle 0, the dynamic reaction exerted on column CD by its support at D.arrow_forwardThe shutter shown was formed by removing one quarter of a disk of 0.75-in. radius and is used to interrupt a beam of light emanating from a lens at C. Knowing that the shutter weighs 0.125 lb and rotates at the constant rate of 24 cycles per second, determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the shutter on the shaft at Aarrow_forwardConsider a rigid body initially at rest and subjected to an impulsive force F contained in the plane of the body. We define the center of percussion P as the point of intersection of the line of action of F with the perpendicular drawn from G(a) Show that the instantaneous center of rotation C of the body is located on line GP at a distance GC = k2/GP on the opposite side of G.
