PROBLEM 18.13
Determine the angular momentum HA of the projectile of Problem
18.12 about the center A of its base, knowing that its mass center G has
a velocity v of 750 m/s. Give your answer in terms of components
respectively parallel to the x and y axes shown and to a third axis z
pointing toward you.
PROBLEM 18.12 The 100-kg projectile shown has a radius of
gyration of 100 mm about its axis of symmetry Gx and a radius of
gyration of 250 mm about the transverse axis .Gy Its angular velocity
can be resolved into two components; one component, directed along
,Gx measures the rate of spin of the projectile, while the other
component, directed along GD, measures its rate of precession.
Knowing that 6
and that the angular momentum of the projectile
about its mass center G is 2
(500 g m /s)
GHi
2
(10 g m /s) ,
determine (a) the rate of spin, (b) the rate of precession.
