Chapter 17 Problem 17-61

Question

17-61. Cable is unwound from a spool supported on small rollers at A and B by exerting a force of T = 300 N on the cable in the direction shown. Compute the time needed to unravel 5 m of cable from the spool if the spool and cable have a total mass of 600 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of k() = 1.2 m. For the calculation, neglect the mass of the cable being unwound and the mass of the rollers at A and B. The rollers turn with no friction.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 17-61. Cable is unwound from a spool supported on small rollers at A and B by exerting a force of T = 300 N on the cable in the direction shown. Compute the time needed to unravel 5 m of cable from the spool if the spool and cable have a total mass of 600 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of k() = 1.2 m. For the calculation, neglect the mass of the cable being unwound and the mass of the rollers at A and B. The rollers turn with no friction.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
