The 4-lb uniform slender rod AB, the 8-lb uniform slender rod BF, and the 4-lb uniform thin sleeve CE are connected as shown and move without friction in a vertical plane. The motion of the linkage is controlled by the couple M applied to rod AB. Knowing that at the instant shown the angular velocity of rod AB is 30 rad/s and the angular acceleration of rod AB is 96 rad/s2 clockwise, determine (a) the magnitude of the couple M, (b) the reaction at point D.

Knowing that r = 4 in., L= 12 in., and the angular velocity of the system is 960 rpm after 4 s, determine the magnitude of the couple M.arrow_forwardRequired information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A 4-kg slender rod is welded to the edge of a 3-kg uniform disk as shown. The assembly rotates about A in a vertical plane under the combined effect of gravity and of the vertical force P. Know that at the instant shown, the assembly has an angular velocity of 12 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 36.5 rad/s2, both counterclockwise. 120 mm Determine the force P.

- 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_forwardGreek engineers had the unenviable task of moving large columns from the quarries to the city. 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. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the minimum static coefficient of friction that will keep it from slipping.arrow_forward1. (17.2) The rotor of an electric motor has an angular velocity of 3600 rpm when the load and power are cut off. The 110-lb rotor, which has a centroidal radius of gyration of 9 in., then coasts to rest. Knowing that the kinetic friction of the rotor produces a couple with a magnitude of 2.5 lb-ft, determine the number of revolutions that the rotor executes before coming to rest. Notes: The work done by friction is negative. You may convert all units to SI system if you have difficulty in dealing with the English system of measurement.arrow_forward

The assembly is pressed against a spring at D and released from the position shown. Knowing that the maximum angle of rotation of the assembly in its subsequent motion is 58° with the horizontal (counterclockwise), determine the magnitude of the angular velocity of the assembly as it passes through the position where rod AB forms an angle of 27° with the horizontal.arrow_forward3arrow_forward
