Dynamics 2e 801
Problem 4.95
Consider a system of four identical particles
A
,
B
,
D
, and
E
, each with
a mass of
2:3 kg
. These particles are mounted on a wheel of negligible
mass whose hub is at
O
and whose radius is
RD0:75
m. The wheel
is mounted on a cart
H
of negligible mass. Suppose that the wheel is
spinning counterclockwise with an angular speed
!D3rad=s
and that
the cart is moving to the right with a speed of
vHD11 m=s
. Compute
the kinetic energy of the system, using
(a) Eq. (4.46) on p. 282,
(b) Eq. (4.50) on p. 283.
Show that the result is the same in both cases.
