Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

A small grinding wheel is attached to the shaft of an electric motor which has a rated speed of 3600 rpm. When the power is turned on, the unit reaches its rated speed in 5 s, and when the power is turned off, the unit coasts to rest in 70 s. Assuming uniformly accelerated motion, determine the number of revolutions that the motor executes (a) in reaching its rated speed, (b) in coasting to rest.

A disk shown below rolls without slipping on the ground. At the instant shown, when peg A is directly above O, the disk is rolling counter clockwise, with angular velocity ω = 2 rad/s increasing at a rate α = 4 rad/s. A motor on the shaft through B commands link BC to rotate such that the disk rolls with constant angular acceleration until OA becomes horizontal. 1. What is the angular velocity and angular acceleration of link BC at the instant when the disk has rotated an angle θd from its configuration shown in the figure.
