PROBLEM 16.157
The uniform rod AB of weight W is released from rest when
70 .
β
= °
Assuming that the friction force between end A and the surface is large
enough to prevent sliding, determine immediately after release (a) the
angular acceleration of the rod, (b) the normal reaction at A, (c) the
friction force at A.
SOLUTION
We note that rod rotates about A.

PROBLEM 16.161
A cylinder with a circular hole is rolling without slipping on a
fixed curved surface as shown. The cylinder would have a weight
of 16 lb without the hole, but with the hole it has a weight of
15 lb. Knowing that at the instant shown the disk has an angular
velocity of 5 rad/s clockwise, determine (a) the angular
acceleration of the disk, (b) the components of the reaction force
between the cylinder and the ground at this instant.
