Problem 5 (25pts): Two slender bars AB and BC with lengths L and 2L are configured as shown. The have mass m and 2m, respectively. When released from rest (dashed line), the bars collapse and move as indicated while point C is constrained to be in constant contact with the wall during the fall. Find the angular velocity of rod BC when it becomes horizontal as shown in the figure. Assume the system is frictionless....
ke Slender bar of mass m As shown in Figure 1, a uniform slender bar with mass m and length L is supported by a vertical spring at its right end while a mass block 2m suspended from its left end through a spring is supported by another spring. All these three vertical springs have the same stiffness k. If the downward vertical displacement x of the mass block and the clockwise rotation angle 8 of the bar are assumed...
Question 4 A homogeneous slender rod AB of mass m and length L is held in the position shown in Figure Q4. The end A of the rod is free to move along the smooth horizontal surface. The end B of the rod is connected to rod BC of negligible mass. The rod AB is released from rest in the position shown when 0 = 60°. If the acceleration of end B is ā, = -a,j, derive the expressions in...
2. (40 points) A soccer ball tester consists of a 15-kg slender rod AB with a 1.1-kg sim- ulated foot located at A and a torsional spring located at pin B. The torsional spring has a spring constant of k 910 N.m/rad and is unstretched when AB is its lowest position. Fig. 2 depicts the simulation. The length of AB is 0.9 m, and you can assume that the foot ban be modcled as a particle, Knowing that the velocity...

Two slender links, AC and BC, extend from a wall and support a pulley at C. A cable, tied at D, passes over the small pulley at C and experience an 80-lb force at its free end E. If the pulley is frictionless and of negligible determine the forces developed in members AC and BC. An inextensible (cannot stretch) cable AC and spring CB are originally horizontal. A 100-N weight is attached to point C, and the system is...
QUESTION 2 (10 Marks) The system shown in Figure 2 consists of a couple of bars and a wheel. The bar AB rotates at approximately 10 rads in the counter-clockwise direction. Note that the wheel is rolling on a circular surface, however, it is a smooth surface. Using the instantaneous centre of zero velocity method, determine the angular velocities of the wheel and bar BC. (10 marks - C03) I m 1 3 m 2 m 3 m B Figure...
