A 3.5-kg slender rod AB and a 2-kg slender rod BC are connected by a pin at B and by the cord AC. The assembly can rotate in a vertical plane under the combined effect of gravity and a couple M applied to rod BC. Knowing that in the position shown the angular velocity of the assembly is zero and the tension in cord AC is equal to 25 N, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the assembly, (b) the magnitude of the couple M.

Both ring E and rod BC can rotate freely about the vertical shaft. Knowing that the system is released from rest when the tension in the elastic cord is 15 N, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the disk, (b) the acceleration of the center of the disk. 150 mim C E B 75 mmA Darrow_forward4arrow_forwardTwo uniform cylinders, each of mass m = 6 kg and radius r = 125 mm, are connected by a belt as shown.

- 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_forwardFigure 2: Schematic for Question 2.
