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 assembly consists of two 10-kg bars which are pin connected. If the bars are released from rest when u = 60, determine their angular velocities at the instant u = 30. The 5-kg disk at C has a radius of 0.5 m and rolls without slipping
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The assembly consists of two 10-kg bars which are pin connected. If the bars are released from rest when u = 60, determine their angular velocities at the instant u = 30. The 5-kg disk at C has a radius of 0.5 m and rolls without slipping
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
