PROBLEM 17.90
A 6-lb collar C is attached to a spring and can slide on rod AB, which in
turn can rotate in a horizontal plane. The mass moment of inertia of rod
AB with respect to end A is 0.35 lb ft s
2
. The spring has a constant
15 lb/in.k and an undeformed length of 10 in. At the instant shown the
velocity of the collar relative to the rod is zero, and the assembly is
rotating with an angular velocity of 12 rad/s. Neglecting the effect of
friction, determine (a) the angular velocity of the assembly as the collar
passes through a point located 7.5 in. from end A of the rod, (b) the
corresponding velocity of the collar relative to the rod.
Kinematics:
Kinetics: Since moments of all forces about shaft at A are zero,
