Knowing that the forces exerted on the disks are sufficient to prevent slipping and that the bar is released from rest, for each of the cases shown, determine the velocity of the bar after it has moved through the distance h.arrow_forwardA homogeneous rectangular plate weighing 40 lb is suspended from two frictionless pins A and B.

However, the earth is actually an oblate spheroid and the gravitational system acting on the earth is equivalent to a force R and a couple M. Knowing that the effect of the couple M is to cause the axis of the earth to precess about the axis GA at the rate of one revolution in 25 800 years, determine the average magnitude of the couple M applied to the earth. Assume that the average density of the earth is 5.51 g/cm 3 , that the average radius of the earth is 6370 km, and that ( Note: This forced precession is known as the precession of the equinoxes and is not to be confused with the free precession discussed in Prob. 18.123.)arrow_forwardThe 80-mm-radius gear shown has a mass of 5 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of 60 mm.

What is the velocity of the center of the disk when it reaches the bottom of the slope? (Hint Use the work-energy principle. At each instant the disk rotates around the contact point C, thus the inertia used for rotatonal kinetic energy should be computed around point C not point G.) m C harrow_forward3.
