Problem 10.15
The cone rolls without slipping over the
x´
plane and around the
y
axis with angular speed
!0
and angular acceleration
˛0
in the
directions shown. At the instant shown, the line
BC
is parallel to
the surface on which the cone is rolling and the line
AD
lies on
the base of the cone and is perpendicular to the line
BC
. Treat
L
and ˇas known.
Using the component system shown, determine expressions
for the velocity and acceleration of point Aat this instant.
Solution
Referring to the figure at the right, point
E
is at the center
of the circular base of the cone. The
xy´
reference frame
rotates with angular velocity
!0
and angular acceleration
˛0
in the directions indicated and the cone rotates relative to the
xy´
frame at
P
. Once we determine the angular velocity and
angular acceleration of the cone, we can easily determine
the velocity and acceleration of point A.
We begin by noting that the point
O
must have zero
