Motor Mexerts a constant force of on the rope.
If the 100-kg post is at rest when , determine the
angular velocity of the post at the instant .Neglect
the mass of the pulley and its size, and consider the post as a
slender rod.
u=60°
u=0°
SOLUTION
Kinetic Energy and Work: Since the post rotates about a fixed axis,
The mass moment of inertia of the post about its mass center is
Since the post is initially at rest, .Referring to Fig.a,,,and do no
work, while does positive work and does negative work. When ,
