PROBLEM 17.89
A 1.8-kg collar A and a 0.7-kg collar B can slide without friction
on a frame, consisting of the horizontal rod OE and the vertical
rod CD, which is free to rotate about its vertical axis of
symmetry. The two collars are connected by a cord running
over a pulley that is attached to the frame at O. At the instant
shown, the velocity
v of collar A has a magnitude of 2.1 m/s
and a stop prevents collar B from moving. The stop is suddenly
removed and collar A moves toward E. As it reaches a distance
of 0.12 m from O, the magnitude of its velocity is observed to
be 2.5 m/s. Determine at that instant the magnitude of the
angular velocity of the frame and the moment of inertia of the
frame and pulley system about CD.
