(week 2)
The disk is released from rest and rolls down the incline. Knowing that
the speed of A is 1.2 m/s when θ = 0°, determine at that instant:
(a) the angular velocity of the rod
(b) the velocity of B
Only portions of the two tracks are shown
The disk rolls without slipping on an inclined plane such that it has an angular
velocity of 3 rad/s and angular acceleration of 5 rad/s2 at the instant shown.
Determine the velocity and acceleration of points A and B and the angular velocity
and angular acceleration of the link BA at this instant.
The power of a bus engine is transmitted using the belt-and-pulley arrangement
shown. If the engine turns pulley A at , determine the angular velocities of the
generator pulley B and the air-conditioning pulley C. The hub at D is rigidly
connected to B and turns with it.
