16–3. The hook is attached to a cord which is wound
around the drum. If it moves from rest with an
acceleration of 20 ft>s2, determine the angular acceleration 2 ft
of the drum and its angular velocity after the drum has
completed 10 rev. How many more revolutions will the
drum turn after it has first completed 10 rev and the hook
continues to move downward for 4 s?
a ! 20 ft
Angular Motion: The angular acceleration of the drum can be determine by
applying Eq. 16–11.
at = ar; 20 = a(2) a = 10.0 rad>s2 Ans.
Applying Eq. 16–7 with ac = a = 10.0 rad>s2 and u = (10 rev) * a b
2p rad
1 rev
= 20p rad, we have
v2 = v20 + 2ac (u - u0)
v2 = 0 + 2(10.0)(20p - 0)
v = 35.45 rad>s = 35.4 rad>s Ans.
The angular displacement of the drum 4 s after it has completed 10 revolutions can
be determined by applying Eq. 16–6 with v0 = 35.45 rad>s.
*16–4. The torsional pendulum (wheel) undergoes
oscillations in the horizontal plane, such that the angle of
rotation, measured from the equilibrium position, is given
by u = (0.5 sin 3t) rad, where t is in seconds. Determine the
maximum velocity of point A located at the periphery of
the wheel while the pendulum is oscillating. What is the
acceleration of point A in terms of t?
Angular Velocity: Here, u = (0.5 sin 3t) rad>s. Applying Eq. 16–1, we have
du
v = = (1.5 cos 3t) rad>s
dt
By observing the above equation, the angular velocity is maximum if cos 3t = 1.
Thus, the maximum angular velocity is vmax = 1.50 rad>s. The maximum speed of
2 ft
point A can be obtained by applying Eq. 16–8. u
(yA)max = vmax r = 1.50(2) = 3.00 ft>s Ans.
Angular Acceleration: Applying Eq. 16–2, we have
dv
a = = (-4.5 sin 3t) rad>s2
dt
The tangential and normal components of the acceleration of point A can be
determined using Eqs. 16–11 and 16–12, respectively.
at = ar = (-4.5 sin 3t)(2) = (-9 sin 3t) ft>s2
an = v2 r = (1.5 cos 3t)2 (2) = A 4.5 cos2 3t B ft>s2
Thus,
aA = A -9 sin 3tut + 4.5 cos2 3tun B ft>s2 Ans.
