Problem 6.11
The sprinkler shown consists of a pipe
AB
mounted on a hollow vertical shaft. The water comes in the
horizontal pipe at
O
and goes out the nozzles at
A
and
B
, causing the pipe to rotate. Letting
dD7in:
,
determine the angular velocity of the sprinkler
E!s
, and
jEaBj
, the magnitude of the acceleration of
B
, if
B
is moving with a constant speed vBD20 ft=s. Assume that the sprinkler does not roll on the ground.
dD34:29 rad=s) E!sD34:29 Ou´rad=s;(5)
where we have used
vBD20 ft=s
and
dD7in:D0:5833 ft
, along with the fact that the sprinkler is rotating
in the positive
Ou´
direction. Since
vB
is constant, the first of Eqs. (5) tells us that
!s
is also constant, and
therefore
