- An 800-g rod AB is bolted to a 1.2-kg disk. A spring of constant k = 12 N/m is attached to the center of the disk at A and to the wall at C . Knowing that the disk rolls without sliding, determine the period of small oscillations of the system.arrow_forward2) A massless bar of length L carrying a tip mass m is rigidly connected to a homogenous disk of radius R and mass m as shown below. The disk rolls without slipping on the ground. Note that gravity acts down and that a spring of stiffness k and a dashpot of constant c connect the center of the disk to an oscillating wall and a fixed one respectively. Determine the amplitude of response of the angle 0(t).arrow_forwardTwo uniform rods, each of mass m and length l, are welded together to form the T-shaped assembly shown.

The wheels are synchronized so that the vertical positions of the unbalanced masses are always identical. The total mass of the device is 10 kg. For an equivalent spring stiffness of 900 kN/m, determine the amplitude of the force transmitted to the fixed mountings due to the imbalance of the rotors at a speed of 1500 rev/min.

- As shown in the Fig. 3, the CM of a cylinder of mass m and radius R is connected to the top of hoop of mass m by a spring. The spring constant is assumed to be known and it is denoted by k. At a given moment the system is slightly compressed and then suddenly released. After the release, both rigid objects roll without slipping. Determine the angular frequency of the resulting oscillation. It is assumed that the spring remains horizontal throughout the motion.

An object with mass mm is attached to the lower end of the spring, and it is gently lowered until the spring reaches its new equilibrium length, as shown in the center figure. Referring to the right-most figure, the mass is raised until the spring returns to its original length, and then it is released from rest resulting in vertical oscillations. Part (a) If the spring constant is 7.5 N/m, and the mass of the object is 0.25 kg, find the oscillation amplitude, in meters.
