NOTE:
2. Make neat Free-Body Diagrams wherever required and solve the questions systemati-
cally with proper equations as taught in class
(i) A thin square plate lying in x − y plane. It’s mass is m. It’s edges are 4cm each. A
circular hole of radius r = 0.7cm is cut out as shown.
(ii) A thin wire lies in x − y plane along the curve y = x2 as shown. It’s mass is m.

Problem 2. A uniform rod of mass m and length l attached to a uniform disk of mass
M and radius R at point P (centre of disk), is released from rest. The hinge at P can be
considered frictionless. Immediately after the release, find the normal reaction force from
the wall at Q. The schematic diagram can be seen below.
Hint: Apply LMB and then AMB about point C.
Problem 3. The bar CD in the figure below is rotated at a constant angular velocity ω 0 ,
which causes the collar B to slide along its length and in turn rotate the bar AB attached
to the collar.
For the instant shown, find the following kinematic quantities:

Problem 4. The uniform slender bar of mass m and length l is centrally mounted on the
shaft A-A, about Which it rotates with a constant speed φ̇ = p. Simultaneously, the yoke is
forced to rotate about the x-axis with a constant speed ω0 . As a function of φ, determine
the magnitude of the torque M required to maintain the constant speed ω0 .
Problem 5. The solid circular disk of mass m and small thickness is spinning freely on
its shaft at the rate p. If the assembly is released in the vertical position at θ = 0 with
θ̇ = 0, determine the horizontal components of the forces A and B exerted by the respective
bearings on the horizontal shaft as the position θ = π/2 is passed. Neglect the mass of the
two shafts compared with m and neglect all friction. Solve by using the appropriate moment
equations. [15 marks]

Problem 6. A uniform slender rod AB of mass m and length L is welded at A to a rotating
disc, spinning about its axis at a constant angular velocity ω , as shown. Determine the value
of ω which will result in zero moment at the weld at A. The gravity acts vertically downward.

Problem 8. The half-cylindrical shell of radius r, length 2b, and mass m revolves about the
vertical z -axis with a constant angular velocity ω as indicated. Determine the magnitude M
of the bending moment in the shaft at A due to both the weight and the rotational motion
of the shell.
