Question
A point P is on the rim of a moving bicycle wheel of radius 1 ft. The bicycle is moving forward at 6 ft/sec. (a) Sketch the velocity of P relative to the wheels axle at the 3, 6, 9, 12 oclock positions. (b) Sketch the velocity of the axle relative to the ground. (c) Sketch the velocity of P relative to the ground at the positions in part (a). (d) Does P ever stop, relative to the ground? What is the greatest speed that P moves, relative to the ground?
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number 22 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A point P is on the rim of a moving bicycle wheel of radius 1 ft. The bicycle is moving forward at 6 ft/sec. (a) Sketch the velocity of P relative to the wheels axle at the 3, 6, 9, 12 oclock positions. (b) Sketch the velocity of the axle relative to the ground. (c) Sketch the velocity of P relative to the ground at the positions in part (a). (d) Does P ever stop, relative to the ground? What is the greatest speed that P moves, relative to the ground?
From the textbook chapter VECTORS AND MATRICES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
