Question
R2-6. The uniform plate weighs 40 lb and is supported by a roller at A. If a horizontal force F = 70 lb is suddenly applied to the roller, determine the acceleration of the center of the roller at the instant the force is applied. The plate has a moment of inertia about its center of mass of lG = 0.414 slug ft2. Neglect the weight of the roller.
Solution
The first step in solving REVIEW 2 problem number 6 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: R2-6. The uniform plate weighs 40 lb and is supported by a roller at A. If a horizontal force F = 70 lb is suddenly applied to the roller, determine the acceleration of the center of the roller at the instant the force is applied. The plate has a moment of inertia about its center of mass of lG = 0.414 slug ft2. Neglect the weight of the roller.
From the textbook chapter Three-dimensional Kinetics of a Rigid Body you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
