PROBLEM 17.93
In Prob. 17.82, determine the velocity of rod AB relative to cylinder
DE as end B of the rod strikes end E of the cylinder.
PROBLEM 17.82
A 3-kg rod of length 800 mm can slide freely in
the 240-mm cylinder DE, which in turn can rotate freely in a
horizontal plane. In the position shown the assembly is rotating with
an angular velocity of magnitude 40 rad/s
and end B of the rod is
moving toward the cylinder at a speed of 75 mm/s relative to the
cylinder. Knowing that the centroidal mass moment of inertia of the
cylinder about a vertical axis is
2
0.025 kg m
and neglecting the
effect of friction, determine the angular velocity of the assembly as
end B of the rod strikes end E of the cylinder.
