Chapter 17 Problem 17.27

Question

A 45-lb uniform cylindrical roller, initially at rest, is acted upon by a 20-lb force as shown. Knowing that the body rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the friction force required to prevent slipping.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 27 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A 45-lb uniform cylindrical roller, initially at rest, is acted upon by a 20-lb force as shown. Knowing that the body rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the friction force required to prevent slipping.
From the textbook chapter Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies: Energy and Momentum Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
