PROBLEM 16.128
Solve Prob. 16.127 for
θ
= 90°.
PROBLEM 16.127 The test rig shown was developed to
perform fatigue testing on fitness trampolines. A motor drives
the 200–mm radius flywheel AB, which is pinned at its center
point, in a counterclockwise direction with a constant angular
velocity of 120 rpm. The flywheel is attached to slider CD by
the 400–mm connecting rod BC. The mass of the connecting rod
BC is 5 kg and the mass of the link CD and foot is 2 kg. At the
instant when
θ
= 0° and the foot is just above the trampoline,
determine the force exerted by pin C on rod BC.
