An adapted golf device attaches to a wheelchair to help people with mobility impairments play putt-putt. The stationary frame OD is attached to the wheelchair, and a club holder OB is attached to the pin at O. Holder OB is 6 in. long and weighs 8 oz, and the distance between O and D is x = 1 ft. The putter shaft has a length of L = 36 in. and weighs 10 oz, while the putter head at A weighs 12 oz. Knowing that the 1-lb/in. spring between D and B is unstretched when θ = 90° and that the putter is released from rest at θ = 0, determine the putter head speed when it hits the golf ball.

- A torque T = 0.30 N-m is applied to a bevel gear B. Bevel gear D meshes with gear B and drives pump A. Gear B has a radius of gyration of 150 mm and a weight of 50 N, whereas gear D and the im- peller of pump A have a combined radius of gy- ration of 50 mm and a weight of 100 N. Find how many revolutions of gear B are needed to get the pump up to 200 rpm from rest. What is the power output of the pump at this speed if it is 90% efficient.arrow_forwardIn the slider-crank mechanism shown, the slide B travels along the center line XX'.

- 6. A shaft with 3 metres span between two bearings carries two masses of 10 kg and 20 kg acting at the extremities of the arms 0.45 m and 0.6 m long respectively. The planes in which these masses rotate are 1.2 m and 2.4 m respectively from the left end bearing supporting the shaft. The angle between the arms is 60°. The speed of rotation of the shaft is 200 r.p.m. If the masses are balanced by two counter-masses rotating with the shaft acting at radii of 0.3 m and placed at 0.3 m from each bearing centres, estimate the magnitude of the two balance masses and their orientation with respect to the X-axis, i.e. mass of 10 kg.arrow_forwardMember ABC is controlled using a rack and pinion, which is connected at B. (The rack is the long, horizontal gear.) The rack can only move horizontally and the pinion does not translate. A block in a sleeve is connected at A and allows movement only in the vertical direction. Member ABC has a total length of 2.40 m and the distance between A and B is 1.25 m1.25 m . When member ABC forms an angle of θ=37.0∘ with the rack, the acceleration of B is aB=1.95 m/s2 and the velocity of the block attached at A is vA=3.15 m/s in the direction shown. Positive angular velocity and acceleration are in the counterclockwise direction. A) Find the acceleration of A at the instant shown. Indicate the direction with the sign based on the axes in the figure. aA= B) Find acceleration of C, aC, at the instant shown.

- Solve it Analytical way By taking sigma FX , FY and momentsarrow_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_forwardThree Wheels. Three rubber wheels are mounted on axles so that they make tight contact with each other and their centers are on a line. The wheel on the far left axle is connected to a motor that rotates it at 35.0 r.p.m.; and drives the wheel in contact with it on its right which, in turn, drives the wheel on its right. The left wheel (Wheel 1) has a diameter of d₁ = 0.22 m, the middle wheel (Wheel 2) has d₂ = 0.32 m, and the far right wheel (Wheel 3) has d3 = 0.48 m. (a) If Wheel 1 rotates clockwise, in which direction does Wheel 3 rotate? (b) What is the angular speed of Wheel 3, and what is the tangential speed on its outer edge? (c) What arrangement of the wheels gives the largest tangential speed on the outer edge of the wheel in the far right position (assuming the wheel in the far left position is driven at 35.0 r.p.m)? (d) What is the largest tangential speed on the outer edge of the wheel in the far right position? (a) (b) Angular speed of Wheel 3: (c) Number Tangential speed…arrow_forward
