Chapter 16.1, Problem 16.52P
A 250-lb satellite has a radius of gyration of 24 in. with respect to the y axis and is symmetrical with respect to the zx plane. Its orientation is changed by firing four small rockets—A, B, C, and D—each of which produces a 4-lb thrust T directed as shown. Determine the angular acceleration of the satellite and the acceleration of its mass center G (a) when all four rockets are fired, (b) when all rockets except D are fired.

A 210-lb satellite has a radius of gyration of 20 in. about the y-axis and is symmetric
about the zx-plane. Its orientation is changed by firing four small rockets A, B, C,
and D, each of which produces a 10-lb thrust force T directed as shown. Determine
the acceleration of its center of mass G (in ft/s²) when all the rockets except D are
fired.

Model the arm ABC as a single rigid body. Its mass is 320 kg, and the moment of
inertia about its center of mass is | = 390 kg-m². Starting from rest with its center of
mass 1.4 m above the ground (position 1), the ABC is pushed upward by the
hydraulic cylinders. When it is in the position shown (position 2), the arm has a
counterclockwise angular velocity of 1.0 rad/s. How much work do the hydraulic
cylinders do on the arm in moving it from position 1 to position 2?

angular velocity es about an axis passing through the fixed
point 0. Show that the momenta of all the particles
composing the body can be represented by a single vector

- If the earth were a sphere, the gravitational attraction of the sun, moon, and planets would at all times be equivalent to a single force R acting at the mass center of the earth. However, the earth is actually an oblate spheroid and the gravitational system acting on the earth is equivalent to a force R and a couple M. Knowing that the effect of the couple M is to cause the axis of the earth to precess about the axis GA at the rate of one revolution in 25 800 years, determine the average magnitude of the couple M applied to the earth. Assume that the average density of the earth is 5.51 g/cm 3 , that the average radius of the earth is 6370 km, and that ( Note: This forced precession is known as the precession of the equinoxes and is not to be confused with the free precession discussed in Prob. 18.123.)arrow_forwardA homogeneous disk of mass m = 4 kg rotates at the constant rate wi = 12 rad/s with respect to arm OA, which itself rotates at the constant rate wz = 4 rad/s about the y- axis, determine: 1.
