- A long ladder of length l, mass m, and centroidal mass moment of inertia I is placed against a house at an angle 0=0O. Knowing that the ladder is released from rest, determine the angular velocity of the ladder when 0=02. Assume the ladder can slide freely on the horizontal ground and on the vertical wall.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 5.32-kg disk A of radius 0.445 m initially rotating counter-clockwise at 436 rev/min is engaged with a 6.72-kg disk B of radius 0.275 m initially rotating clockwise at 528 rev/min, where the moment of inertia of a disk is given as I = ½ mi?. Determine their combined angular speed (in rpm) and direction of rotation after the meshing of the two disks. Remember to show clearly the equations that you use!!'arrow_forward

Determine: (i) the maximum linear speed of the rope;(ii) the angular acceleration of the rope drum;(iii) the moment of inertia of the rope drum, given that its radius of gyration is 250 mm;(iv) the accelerating torque applied to the rope drum.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_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_forward
