Textbook Solutions for Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics

Chapter 17 Problem 17.79

Question

Four rectangular panels, each of length b and height \(\frac{1}{2} b\), are attached with hinges to a circular plate of diameter \(1\bar{2} b\) and held by a wire loop in the position shown. The plate and the panels are made of the same material and have the same thickness. The entire assembly is rotating with an angular velocity \(\mathrm{v}_{0}\) when the wire breaks. Determine the angular velocity of the assembly after the panels have come to rest in a horizontal position.

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: Four rectangular panels, each of length b and height \(\frac{1}{2} b\), are attached with hinges to a circular plate of diameter \(1\bar{2} b\) and held by a wire loop in the position shown. The plate and the panels are made of the same material and have the same thickness. The entire assembly is rotating with an angular velocity \(\mathrm{v}_{0}\) when the wire breaks. Determine the angular velocity of the assembly after the panels have come to rest in a horizontal position.
From the textbook chapter Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies: Energy and Momentum Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
