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.

Assume the door rollers (A & B) are frictionless and the door does not rotate or lift off rollers A & B. G is the center of mass of the door. Determine: a. Reactions forces at each roller support (A & B) b. The constant acceleration of the door. c. The time for the door to move 10 feet. Assume it starts from rest. Draw FBD and write governing equations.

- The flywheel of a small punch rotates at 300 rpm. It is known that 1800 ft - Ib of work must be done each time a hole is punched. It is desired that the speed of the flywheel after one punching be 90 percent of the original speed of 300 rpm. Determine the required moment of inertia of the flywheel. Use the principle of work and energy. (Answer: I = 19.20 lb - ft - s? )arrow_forward1arrow_forwardTheory of machinesarrow_forward
- 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. The weight of the tractor is equally distributed over all four wheels and it pulls on the blo ck via a rope with tension T. The back wheels have a diameter of 1.6m and the front wheelshave a diameter of 80cm. The tractor motor generates a torque of τ on each of its back wheels that have radii Rb and masses mb. The front wheels of the tractor are smaller than the back wheels and have radii Rf and masses mf. Both sets of wheels can b e treated as uniform solid disks with moment ofinertia I = 1/2mR2. The mass of the tractor body, without the wheels, is M. If the wheels don't slip, show that the tractor can accelerate the block with an acceleration of (see image)arrow_forward

To test the bus, it is placed on 1000-pound moveable concrete pad that rolls freely without friction. The horizontal motion of the pad is produced by a hydraulic ram which pulls the pad to left. A 5000-pound school bus is placed on the pad as shown in the figure. a) Assuming the bus does not slip on the pad, determine the minimum value of the horizontal acceleration (dv/dt) of the pad in the direction indicated that will cause the bus to tip, in ft/s². b) Determine the force, in lbf, that the ram must apply to the platform to produce the acceleration found in part (a). c) Determine the minimum static coefficient of friction between the tires and the concrete pad that is required to keep the bus from slipping on the moving pad. d = 3 ft h = 4 ft Desired direction of pad motion Hydraulic Ram h Bus Pad Ans: a) 23 ft/s² ≤ |ax| ≤ 25 ft/s² b) 4500 lbf ≤|F| ≤ 4600 lbf c)…arrow_forwardThe reciprocating masses of the first three cylinders of a four cylinder engine are 4.1, 6.2 and 7.4 tonnes respectively. The centre lines of the three cylinders are 5.2 m, 3.2 m and 1.2 m from the fourth cylinder. If the cranks for all the cylinders are equal, determine the reciprocating mass of the fourth cylinder and the angular position of the cranks such that the system is completely balanced for the primary force and couple. If the cranks are 0.8 m long, the connecting rods 3.8 m, and the speed of the engine 75 r.p.m. ; find the maximum unbalanced secondary force and the crank angle at which it occurs. solve graphicallyarrow_forward
