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
The rotary screen S is used to wash limestone. When empty it has a mass of 800 kg and a radius of gyration of kG = 1.75 m. Rotation is achieved by applying a torque of M = 280 N # m about the drive wheel at A. If no slipping occurs at A and the supporting wheel at B is free to roll, determine the angular velocity of the screen after it has rotated 5 revolutions. Neglect the mass of A and B.
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 19 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The rotary screen S is used to wash limestone. When empty it has a mass of 800 kg and a radius of gyration of kG = 1.75 m. Rotation is achieved by applying a torque of M = 280 N # m about the drive wheel at A. If no slipping occurs at A and the supporting wheel at B is free to roll, determine the angular velocity of the screen after it has rotated 5 revolutions. Neglect the mass of A and B.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
