RIGID BODY MOTION


Problem 1:
Just after the fan is turned on, the motor gives the blade an angular
acceleration α = (20e-O.61) rad/s2, where t is in seconds. Determine the
speed of the tip P of one of the blades when t = 3 s. How many
revolutions has the blade turned in 3 s? When t = 0 the blade is at rest.
(Ans: 48.7 ft/s (b) 8.54 rev)

Problem 2:
The operation of reverse gear in an automotive
transmission is shown. If the engine turns shaft A at
ωA = 40 rad/s, determine the angular velocity of the
drive shaft, ωB, the radius of each gear is listed in the
figure.
(Ans: 89.6 rad/s)

Problem 3:
The mechanism for a car window winder is shown in
the figure. Here the handle turns the small cog C,
which rotates the spur gear S, thereby rotating the
fixed-connected lever AB which raises track D in
which the window rests. The window is free to slide
on the track. If the handle is wound at 0.5 rad/s,
determine the speed of points A and E and the speed
Vw of the window at the instant θ = 30°.
(Ans: 34.6 mm/s)
RELATIVE VELOCITY ANALYSIS

Problem 4:
If bar AB has an angular velocity ωAB = 4 rad/s, determine the velocity of
the slider block C at the instant shown.
(Ans: 1.04 m/s)

Problem 5:
A simplified gear system for a mechanical watch is
shown. Knowing that gear A has a constant angular
velocity of 1 rev/h and gear C has a constant angular
velocity of 1 rpm, determine (a) the radius r, (b) the
magnitudes of the accelerations of the points on gear
B that are in contact with gears A and C.
((a) 0.060 in (b) 18.3 × 10-6 in/s2, 109.7 × 10-6 in/s2)

Problem 6:
In the position shown, bar AB has an angular velocity of 4 rad/s
clockwise. Determine the angular velocity of bars BD and DE.
(Ans: 2.55 rad/s, 0.955 rad/s)

Problem 7:
The double gear shown rolls on the stationary lower rack; the
velocity of its centre A is 1.2 m/s directed to the right.
Determine (a) the angular velocity of the gear, (b) the
velocities of the upper rack R and of point D of the gear.
(Ans: (a) 8 rad/s (b) 2 m/s, 1.697 m/s )
Problem 8:
In the position shown, bar AB has an angular velocity of 4 rad/s
clockwise. Determine the angular velocity of bars BD and DE.
(Ans: 2.55 rad/s, 0.955 rad/s)

RELATIVE ACCELERATION ANALYSIS

Problem 9:
The linkage ABDE moves in the vertical plane. Knowing that in
the position shown crank AB has a constant angular velocity
ω1 of 20 rad/s counterclockwise, determine the angular
velocities and angular accelerations of the connecting rod BD
and of the crank DE.
(Ans: -29.33 rad/s, 11.29 rad/s, -645 rad/s2, 809 rad/s2)

Problem 10:
Gear A is held fixed, and arm DE rotates clockwise with an angular
velocity of ωDE = 6 rad/s and an angular acceleration of αDE = 3
rad/s2), Determine the angular acceleration of gear B at the
instant shown,
(Ans: 7.5 rad/s2)
