Chapter 17 Problem 17.91

Question

A small 4-lb collar C can slide freely on a thin ring of weight 6 lb and radius 10 in. The ring is welded to a short vertical shaft, which can rotate freely in a fixed bearing. Initially the ring has an angular velocity of 35 rad/s and the collar is at the top of the ring \((\mathrm{u}=0)\) when it is given a slight nudge. Neglecting the effect of friction, determine (a) the angular velocity of the ring as the collar passes through the position \(\mathrm{u}=90^{\circ}\), (b) the corresponding velocity of the collar relative to the ring.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 91 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A small 4-lb collar C can slide freely on a thin ring of weight 6 lb and radius 10 in. The ring is welded to a short vertical shaft, which can rotate freely in a fixed bearing. Initially the ring has an angular velocity of 35 rad/s and the collar is at the top of the ring \((\mathrm{u}=0)\) when it is given a slight nudge. Neglecting the effect of friction, determine (a) the angular velocity of the ring as the collar passes through the position \(\mathrm{u}=90^{\circ}\), (b) the corresponding velocity of the collar relative to the ring.
From the textbook chapter Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies: Energy and Momentum Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
