Problem 8.95
An automobile wheel test rig consists of a uniform disk
A
, of mass
mAD5000 kg
and radius
rAD1:5
m, that can rotate freely about
its fixed center
C
and over which the wheel of an automobile is
made to roll. A wheel
B
, whose center and center of mass coincide
at D, is mounted on a shaft (not shown) that holds Dfixed while
it allows the wheel to rotate about
D
. The wheel has diameter
dD0:62
m, mass
mBD21:5 kg
, and mass moment of inertia
about its mass center
IDD44 kgm2
. Both
A
and
B
are initially
at rest when
B
is subject to a constant torque
M
that causes
B
to
roll without slip on A.
Use the angular impulse-momentum principle and determine
M
if it takes 15 seconds to achieve conditions simulating a car
speed of 60 km=h.

where
ID
is the mass moment of inertia of
B
about
D
, and where
E!BD!BO
k
is the angular velocity of
B
