(a) Explanation Given information: The weight ( W ) of the flywheel is 500 lb. The spring constant ( k ) is 85 lb/in . The period ( τ ) of vibration of the flywheel is 0.5 sec. The radius ( r ) of the flywheel is 18 in . . The linear displacement ( x ) is 1.5 in . . The acceleration due to gravity is ( g ) is 32 .2 ft / s 2 . Calculation: Show the free-body-diagram equation as in Figure (1). Write the expression for the time period ( τ ) of oscillation: τ = 2 π ω n Here, ω n is the natural circular frequency. Rewrite the above equation, ω n = 2 π τ (1) Calculate the natural circular ( ω n ) frequency: Substitute 0.5 s for τ in equation (1) 0.5 s = 2 π ω n ω n = 2 π 0.5 ω n = 4 π rad / s The end C is pulled for 1.5 in. and released (b) To determine The centroidal radius of gyration ( k ¯ ) of the flywheel.

Free Damped Vibrations

Free vibration is a type of vibration in which the external force is removed after giving the initial displacement to a body/system. In other words, in this type of vibration, force is applied at the initial displacement of the system, and after the init…

Two uniform rods, each of weight W = 1.2 lb and length l = 8 in., are welded together to form the assembly shown. Knowing that the constant of each spring is k = 0.6 lb/in. and that end A is given a small displacement and released, determine the frequency of the resulting motion.

A 6-kg uniform cylinder can roll without sliding on a horizontal surface and is attached by a pin at point C to the 4-kg horizontal bar AB to the 4-kg horizontal bar k= 5 kN/m, as shown. Knowing that the bar is moved 12 mm to the right of the equilibrium position and released, determine (a) the period of vibration of the system, (b) the magnitude of the maximum velocity of bar AB.

A uniform disk with radius r and mass m can roll without slipping on a cylindrical surface and is attached to bar ABC with a length L and negligible mass. The bar is attached at point A to a spring with a constant k and can rotate freely about point B in the vertical plane. Knowing that end A is given a small displacement and released, determine the frequency of the resulting vibration in terms of m, L,K and g.
