1. The wheel is made from a 5-kg thin ring and two 2-kg slender rods. If the torsional
spring attached to the wheel’s center has a stiffness k = 2 Nm/rad, and the wheel is
rotated until the torque M = 25 Nm is developed, determine the maximum angular
velocity of the wheel if it is released from rest.
2. A force of P = 60 N is applied to the cable, which causes the 200-kg reel to turn
since it is resting on the two rollers A and B of the dispenser. Determine the angular
velocity of the reel after it has made two revolutions starting from rest. Neglect the
mass of the rollers and the mass of the cable. Assume the radius of gyration of the
reel about its center axis remains constant at k0 = 0.6m.
4. The 10-kg uniform slender rod is suspended at rest when the force of F = 150 N is
applied to its end. Determine the angular velocity of the rod when it has rotated 180˚
clockwise from the position shown. The force is always perpendicular to the rod.
6. The spool has a mass of 20 kg and a radius of gyration of k 0 = 160 mm. If the 15-
kg block A is released from rest, determine the velocity of the block when it descends
600 mm.
7. The 12-kg slender rod is attached to a spring, which has an unstretched length of 2
m. If the rod is released from rest when θ = 30˚, determine the angular velocity at the
instant θ = 90˚.
1. The double pulley consists of two wheels which are attached to one another and
turn at the same rate. The pulley has a mass of 15 kg and a radius of gyration k0 =
110 mm. If the block at A has a mass of 40 kg, determine the speed of the block in 3
s after a constant force F = 2 kN is applied to the rope wrapped around the inner hub
of the pulley. The block is originally at rest. Neglect the mass of the rope.
2. The hoop (thin ring) has a mass of 5 kg and is released down the inclined plane
such that it has a backspin ω = 8 rad/s and its center has a velocity vG = 3 m/s as
shown. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the hoop and the plane is μk = 0.6,
determine how long the hoop rolls before it stops slipping.
Ans: 1.32 s
3. The double pulley consists of two wheels which are attached to one another and
turn at the same rate. The pulley has a mass of 15 kg and a radius of gyration of k0 =
110 mm. If the block at A has a mass of 40 kg and the container at B has a mass of
85 kg, including its contents, determine the speed of the container when t = 3 s after
it is released from rest.
4. The wheel has a mass of 50 kg and a radius of gyration of 125 mm about its center
of mass G. Determine the minimum value of the angular velocity ω1 of the wheel, so
that it strikes the step at A without rebounding and then rolls over it without slipping.
