Chapter 17 Problem 17-69

Question

17-69. The door will close automatically using torsional springs mounted on the hinges. Each spring has a stiffness A: = 50 N-m/rad so that the torque on each hinge is M = (500) N m, where 0 is measured in radians. If the door is released from rest when it is open at 0 = 90, determine its angular velocity at the instant 0 = 0. For the calculation, treat the door as a thin plate having a mass of 70 kg.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 87 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 17-69. The door will close automatically using torsional springs mounted on the hinges. Each spring has a stiffness A: = 50 N-m/rad so that the torque on each hinge is M = (500) N m, where 0 is measured in radians. If the door is released from rest when it is open at 0 = 90, determine its angular velocity at the instant 0 = 0. For the calculation, treat the door as a thin plate having a mass of 70 kg.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
