At a given instant the body of mass m has an angular velocity V and its mass center has a velocity vG. Show that its kinetic energy can be represented as T = 1 2 IICv2 , where IIC is the moment of inertia of the body determined about the instantaneous axis of zero velocity, located a distance rG>IC from the mass center as shown.

Question
A force of P = 60 N is applied to the cable, which causes the 200-kg reel to turn since it is resting on the two rollers A and B of the dispenser. Determine the angular velocity of the reel after it has made two revolutions starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the rollers and the mass of the cable. Assume the radius of gyration of the reel about its center axis remains constant at kO = 0.6 m.
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 4 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A force of P = 60 N is applied to the cable, which causes the 200-kg reel to turn since it is resting on the two rollers A and B of the dispenser. Determine the angular velocity of the reel after it has made two revolutions starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the rollers and the mass of the cable. Assume the radius of gyration of the reel about its center axis remains constant at kO = 0.6 m.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
