Chapter 17.1, Problem 17.27P
Greek 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.

4. A pick-up truck that has a mass of 2.5 metric tons pulls a trailer with a mass of 1 metric
ton. The engine of the truck has a pulling capacity of 5 kN. The horizontal drawbar used
to pull the trailer has a capacity of 600 N only, if exceeded, will disengage. If the full power
of the engine is used, will the horizontal draw bar disengage or not? Specify your answer
if YES or NO. Explain why based on your computation.
The uniform rod BC weighs 32.2 lb. The rod is connected to the frame D by a frictionless pin C and a cord AB as shown. Calculate the maximum value of the applied force P for which rod BC will not “rise up”.
The arms of a Porter governor are equal in length and pivot on the axis of rotation. The mass of each ball is 10 kg and the mass of the central load is 25 kg. The ball rotates at radius 210 mm when the governor is at its lowest setting and 260 mm when it is at its maximum setting. At maximum speed, the vertical distance from the center of the sleeve to the pivot was 500 mm. For another case, it can be seen that the height of the governor will reduce to half values when the ball masses are replaced by three-time larger from the first case. The friction force for both cases is 10 N.
Find arms length LDetermine the range of speed in first casewhat will be the final range of speedAs a result of extracting the speed range values in both cases, what did you conclude?

- A baseball attachment that helps people with mobility impairments play T-ball and baseball is powered by a spring that is unstretched at position 2. The spring is attached to a cord that is fastened to point B on the 75-mm radius pulley. The pulley is fixed at point O , rotates backwards to the cocked position at 0 , and the rope wraps around the pulley and stretches the spring with a stiffness of k = 2000 N/m. The combined mass moment of inertia of all the rotating components about point O is 0.40 kg·m2. The swing is timed perfectly to strike a 145-gram baseball travelling with a speed of V0 = 10 m/s at a distance of h = 0.7 m away from point O. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution between the bat and ball is 0.59, determine the velocity of the baseball immediately after the impact. Assume that the ball is travelling primarily in the horizontal plane and that its spin is negligible.arrow_forward6. 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_forwardA tractor is now drafted in to move the blo ck.
