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 a 30-kg disk, 12-kg slender rod BA, and a 5-kg smooth collar A. If the disk rolls without slipping, determine the velocity of the collar at the instant u = 0. The system is released from rest when u = 45.
Solution
The first step in solving 18 problem number 67 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The system consists of a 30-kg disk, 12-kg slender rod BA, and a 5-kg smooth collar A. If the disk rolls without slipping, determine the velocity of the collar at the instant u = 0. The system is released from rest when u = 45.
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
