The 40-kg gymnast drops from her maximum height of h = 0.5 m straight down to the bar as shown. Her hands hit the bar and clasp it, and her body remains straight in the position shown. Her center of mass is 0.75 meters away from her hands, and her mass moment of inertia about her center of mass is 7.5 kg·m2. Assuming that friction between the bar and her hands is negligible and that she remains in the same position throughout the swing, determine her angular velocity when she swings around to θ = 135°.

- A device consists of eight balls each of mass 0.7 kg attached to the ends of low-mass spokes of length 1.4 m, so the radius of rotation of the balls is 0.7 m. The device is mounted in the vertical plane. The axle is held up by supports that are not shown, and the wheel is free to rotate on the nearly frictionless axle. A lump of clay with mass 0.35 kg falls and sticks to one of the balls at the location shown, when the spoke attached to that ball is at 45 degrees to the horizontal. Just before the impact the clay has a speed 5 m/s, and the wheel is rotating counterclockwise with angular speed 0.26 radians/s.Just before the impact, what is the angular momentum of the combined system of device plus clay about the center C? (As usual, x is to the right, y is up, and z is out of the screen, toward you.)arrow_forwardGo 0.3 m---0.2 m- 0.2 m 0.4 m 60° 0.5 m The hand truck has a mass of 198 kg and a center of mass at G. Determine the maximum magnitude of the force P (in kN) that can be applied to the crank so that wheels A or B remain in contact with the ground. . Neglect the mass of the wheels.arrow_forwardThe system consists of the two smooth spheres, each weighing 3 lb and connected by a light spring, and the two bars of negligible weight hinged freely at their ends and hanging in the vertical plane. The spheres are confined to slide in the smooth horizontal guide. If a horizontal force F = 10 lb is applied to the one bar at the position shown, what is the accelera- tion of the center C of the spring? Why does the re- sult not depend on the dimension b?arrow_forward
- The cylinders in the figure are at rest and have the indicated weights of 500 lbs and 250 lbs respectively and dimensions. Assuming smooth contact surfaces, determine the reactions at A, B,C and D on the cylinders. The width of the enclosure is 7.6 ft.arrow_forward1.0m 3.0m 0.5m mi m2 PA N, 5. The drawing above shows two objects on a board supported at two locations. The m; = 40 kg (centered over P), m;=20 kg and m3=10 kg. c. Determine the force exerted by N2. (Take torques around P.) d. m2 rolls to the right. Just before the board starts to tip everything is balanced on N2 with no force on N1. Determine how far to the right of N2 m2 could roll without the board tipping. You might find it easier to take torques around a point rather than P.arrow_forwardQ2: The 5.5-kg lever OA with 250-mm radius of gyration about O is initially at rest in the vertical position (0 = 90°), where the attached spring of stiffness k = 100 N/m is unstretched. Calculate the constant moment M applied to the lever through its shaft at O which will give the lever an angular velocity w = 4 rad/s as the lever reaches the horizontal position = 0.

- The 12ft pole AC (negligible mass) lies in the y-z plane and forms a 30° angle with the z-axis. The pole is held in place at point C by a ball-and-socket joint. Two cables, BD and BE, are fixed to the pole at point B (these represent two separate cables attached at B). A 110 lb force pulls downward at the end of pole AC in the vertical direction (y-direction). If the distance between B and C along the feet, determine the Reactions at C (ball-and-socket joint) The tension in cables BD and BE.arrow_forward. A single cylinder engine runs at 250 r.p.m. and has a stroke of 180 mm. The reciprocating parts has a mass of 120 kg and the revolving parts are equivalent to a mass of 70 kg at a radius of 90 mm. A mass is placed opposite to the crank at a radius of 150 mm to balance the whole of the revolving mass and two-thirds of the reciprocating mass. Determine the magnitude of the balancing mass and the resultant residual unbalance force when the crank has turned 30° from the inner dead centre, neglect the obliquity of the connecting rod.arrow_forwardBlock A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 2.50 kg) moves is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and block B (mass 5.00 kg) moves downward 1.80 m in 2.00 s. A)What is the tension force that the rope exerts on block B ?B)What is the tension force that the rope exerts on block A ?arrow_forward
- A 3 m long steel rod with a mass of 5000 (kg) is lifted from its ends in balance with a 6 m long sling. Calculate the force that will come to the chain at that moment as a result of the sudden disconnection of the blue choke rope. (Note, accept the blue ropes at the very end of the bar. Each chain is connected as 3 meters.)arrow_forwardThe cylinder shown is homogeneous and has a mass of 30 kg. if slipping of the cylinder is prevented by friction, determine the tension in the cable, the friction force between the cylinder and the surface, and the normal force exerted by the surface at B on the cylinder.arrow_forwardA single-cylinder reciprocating engine has a reciprocating mass of 6 kg. the crank rotates at 60 rpm and the stroke is 32 mm the mass of the revolving parts at 16 mm radius is 4 kg, if two-thirds of the reciprocating parts and the whole of the revolving parts are to be balanced. Determine the balance mass required at a radius of 35 mm and unbalanced force when the crank has turned 50° from the TDC. d luokarrow_forward
