Chapter 17 Problem 17.14

Question

The double pulley shown has a mass of 15 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of 160 mm. Cylinder A and block B are attached to cords that are wrapped on the pulleys as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the surface is 0.2. Knowing that the system is at rest in the position shown when a constant force \(\mathbf{P}=200 \ \mathrm{N}\) is applied to cylinder A, determine (a) the velocity of cylinder A as it strikes the ground, (b) the total distance that block B moves before coming to rest.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The double pulley shown has a mass of 15 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of 160 mm. Cylinder A and block B are attached to cords that are wrapped on the pulleys as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the surface is 0.2. Knowing that the system is at rest in the position shown when a constant force \(\mathbf{P}=200 \ \mathrm{N}\) is applied to cylinder A, determine (a) the velocity of cylinder A as it strikes the ground, (b) the total distance that block B moves before coming to rest.
From the textbook chapter Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies: Energy and Momentum Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
