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 two 12-kg slender rods are pin connected and released from rest at the position u = 60. If the spring has an unstretched length of 1.5 m, determine the angular velocity of rod BC, when the system is at the position u = 0. Neglect the mass of the roller at C
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 52 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The two 12-kg slender rods are pin connected and released from rest at the position u = 60. If the spring has an unstretched length of 1.5 m, determine the angular velocity of rod BC, when the system is at the position u = 0. Neglect the mass of the roller at C
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
