Problem 7.40
The bar
AB
is pinned to a fixed support at
A
at one end and to
the center of the bike wheel
B
at its other end. The bike wheel
is spinning with angular speed
!0D50 rad=s
when it is gently
placed on the horizontal surface. The mass of the bike wheel is
mwD2:5 kg
, its radius is
RD33 cm
, and its mass moment of
inertia is IBD0:2486 kgm2.
If the mass of bar
AB
is
mAB D1:5 kg
, determine the coefficient
of kinetic friction between the wheel and the surface so that it takes
2
s to come to a complete stop. In addition, find the reactions at
A
and Bon bar AB for these conditions.
Solution
Since bar
AB
has mass, the FBD of the bar and of the wheel are as shown on
the right, where
F
f
is the friction force between the wheel and the ground and
Cis the mass center of bar AB.
