Chapter 18 Problem 18-21

Question

A yo-yo has a weight of 0.3 lb and a radius of gyration of kO = 0.06 ft. If it is released from rest, determine how far it must descend in order to attain an angular velocity v = 70 rad>s. Neglect the mass of the string and assume that the string is wound around the central peg such that the mean radius at which it unravels is r = 0.02 ft.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 21 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A yo-yo has a weight of 0.3 lb and a radius of gyration of kO = 0.06 ft. If it is released from rest, determine how far it must descend in order to attain an angular velocity v = 70 rad>s. Neglect the mass of the string and assume that the string is wound around the central peg such that the mean radius at which it unravels is r = 0.02 ft.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
