Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17.138RP
You are asked to analyze a catcher for a small drone. The catcher arm weighs 20 lb and is 8 ft long (you can model it as a slender rod); the net that catches the drone at B has negligible mass. The 3-lb drone has a mass moment of inertia about its own center of mass of 0.01 slug

A 1.6-kg tube AB can slide freely on rod DE which in turn can rotate freely in a horizontal plane. Initially the assembly is rotating with an angular velocity of magnitude w = 5 rad/s and the tube is held in position by a cord. The moment of inertia of the rod and bracket about the vertical axis of rotation is 0.30 kg.m2 and the centroidal moment of inertia of the tube about a vertical axis is 0.0025 kg.m2If the cord suddenly breaks, determine (a) the angular velocity of the assembly after the tube has moved to end E, (b) the energy lost during the plastic impact at E.
Four masses m1, m2, m3 and m4 are 10 kg, 20 kg, 30 kg and 40 kg respectively. The corresponding radii of rotation are 0.1 m, 0.15 m, 0.3 m and 0.35 m respectively and the angles between successive masses are 40°, 60° and 120°.
Find the position and magnitude of the balance mass required, if its radius of rotation is 0.5 m.
Figure below shows a system of pulley and two loads connected through two
cables. The two loads have the same mass. The weight of the cylinder is equal to
the combined weight of the loads (Wc=2W1). The system is released from rest.
(a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the angular acceleration of the
pulley,
(b) Which cable will experience more tension, cable 1 or cable 2? Why?
NOTE: The mass moment of inertia of a cylinder with a radius of R and a mass of m is
determined using ½.m.R².
