Problem 8.103
Some pipe sections of radius
r
and mass
m
are being unloaded and placed in a row against a wall. The
first of these pipe sections,
A
, is made to roll without slipping into a corner with an angular velocity
!0
as
shown. Upon touching the wall,
A
does not rebound, but slips against the ground and against the wall.
Modeling
A
as a uniform thin ring with center at
G
and letting
g
and
w
be the coefficients of kinetic
friction of the contacts between
A
and the ground and between
A
and the wall, respectively, determine an
expression for the angular velocity of
A
as a function of time from the moment
A
touches the wall until it
stops. Hint: Using the methods learned in Chapter 7, we can show that the friction forces at the ground
and at the wall are constant.
