The 12-lb uniform disk shown has a radius of r = 3.2 in. and rotates counterclockwise. Its center C is constrained to move in a slot cut in the vertical member AB, and an 11-lb horizontal force P is applied at B to maintain contact at D between the disk and the vertical wall. The disk moves downward under the influence of gravity and the friction at D. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the wall is 0.12 and neglecting friction in the vertical slot, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the disk, (b) the acceleration of the center C of the disk.

- 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.arrow_forwardThe 200-mm-radius brake drum is attached to a larger Bywheel.
