Problem 10.47
When
h1D0:6
m,
`1D0:5
m, and
dD0:9
m, collar
A
is
moving downward at speed
vA1 D3m=s
. The uniform thin
bar
AB
has mass
mAB D4kg
and length
L
and is attached
to collars
A
and
B
with ball-and-socket joints. Collars
A
and
B
slide smoothly on rods
CD
and
EF
, respectively, and collar
B
is attached to the stop at
E
by a linear elastic spring with
constant
kD200 N=m
and unstretched length
2`1
. Neglect the
dimensions of the collars and assume that the angular velocity of
the rod AB is such that AB does not spin about its axis.
Assuming that the mass of collar
A
is
mAD0:5 kg
and the
mass of collar
B
is
mBD0:5 kg
, determine the speed of the
collar Awhen it reaches D.
Solution
Referring to the FBD at the right, we see that the constraint forces
AX
and
AY
on the bar at
A
and
BY
and
BZ
on the bar at
B
do
not do any work since they are perpendicular to the motion of
those points. In addition, the weight force
mBg
does no work
since the motion of
B
is perpendicular to that force. Therefore,
the only forces that do work on the bar as it falls is the weight
force
mAB g
acting at its mass center and the weight force
mAg
acting at A.
Balance Principles.
Since all forces that do work are conser–
vative, we can say that energy is conserved and can apply the
of McGraw-Hill, and must be surrendered upon request of McGraw-Hill. Any duplication or distribution, either in print or electronic form, without the
permission of McGraw-Hill, is prohibited.
