Chapter 11, Problem 80GP
A radio transmission tower has a mass of 80 kg and is 12 m high. The tower is anchored to the ground by a flexible joint at its base, but it is secured by three cables 120° apart (Fig. 11–50). In an analysis of a potential failure, a mechanical engineer needs to determine the behavior of the tower if one of the cables broke. The tower would fall away from the broken cable, rotating about its base. Determine the speed of the top of the tower as a function of the rotation angle θ. Start your analysis with the rotational dynamics equation of motion

radius r = 400 ft. At the instant shown, its angular rate of
rotation is ở = 0.025 rad/s, which is decreasing at the rate
ö = -0.008 rad/s². Determine the radial and transverse
components of the car's velocity and acceleration at this

(II) Two masses, mA = 35.0 kg and mB = 38.0 kg, are
connected by a rope that hangs
over a pulley (as in Fig. 10-59).
The pulley is a uniform cylinder of
radius 0.381 m and mass 3.1 kg.
Initially ma is on the ground and
mB rests 2.5 m above the ground.
If the system is released, use
conservation of energy to deter-
mine the speed of mB just before
it strikes the ground. Assume the
pulley bearing is frictionless.

The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m.
