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 system consists of 60-lb and 20-lb blocks A and B, respectively, and 5-lb pulleys C and D that can be treated as thin disks. Determine the speed of block A after block B has risen 5 ft, starting from rest. Assume that the cord does not slip on the pulleys, and neglect the mass of the cord
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 63 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The system consists of 60-lb and 20-lb blocks A and B, respectively, and 5-lb pulleys C and D that can be treated as thin disks. Determine the speed of block A after block B has risen 5 ft, starting from rest. Assume that the cord does not slip on the pulleys, and neglect the mass of the cord
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
