An adapted golf device attaches to a wheelchair to help people with mobility impairments play putt-putt. The stationary frame OD is attached to the wheelchair, and a club holder OB is attached to the pin at O. Holder OB is 6 in. long and weighs 8 oz, and the distance between O and D is x = 1 ft. The putter shaft has a length of L = 36 in. and weighs 10 oz, while the putter head at A weighs 12 oz. Knowing that the 1-lb/in. spring between D and B is unstretched when θ = 90° and that the putter is released from rest at θ = 0, determine the putter head speed when it hits the golf ball.

Gear A has a mass mA=2 kg, radius rA=175 mm, and radius of gyration kA=150 mm. Gear B has a mass B=5 kg, radius rB=525 mm, and radius of gyration kB=400 mm. From rest, a counter-clockwise couple M of constant magnitude 6 Nm is applied to Gear A. Which of the following diagrams CORRECTLY describes a force-inertia diagram used to solve the problem? What is the relationship between the angular accelerations of gears A and B?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_forward

A couple M with a constant magnitude is applied when the system is at rest and is removed after the system has executed two revolutions.

Immediately before the impact, the angular velocity of the rod is 3 rad/s counterclockwise and the velocity of the sphere is 2 ft/s down. Assume the sphere sticks in the basket. Determine after the impact (a) the angular velocity of the bar and sphere, (b) the components of the reactions at A.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

- In order to unscrew the tapped faucet A , a plumber uses two pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each wrench at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus he avoids loosening or further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped elbow C .

One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4-ft diameter column weighs 12,000 lbs, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500 lbs on the center of the cylinder G.
