Chapter 18 Problem 18-62

Question

The 50-lb wheel has a radius of gyration about its center of gravity G of kG = 0.7 ft. If it rolls without slipping, determine its angular velocity when it has rotated clockwise 90 from the position shown. The spring AB has a stiffness k = 1.20 lb>ft and an unstretched length of 0.5 ft. The wheel is released from rest.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 62 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The 50-lb wheel has a radius of gyration about its center of gravity G of kG = 0.7 ft. If it rolls without slipping, determine its angular velocity when it has rotated clockwise 90 from the position shown. The spring AB has a stiffness k = 1.20 lb>ft and an unstretched length of 0.5 ft. The wheel is released from rest.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
