Arm ab has a constant angular velocity of 16 rad/s counterclockwise. At the instant when theta = 60

geniusboy [140]

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second.

<h3>How to determine the angular velocity of a collar</h3>

In this question we have a system formed by three elements, the element AB experiments a <em>pure</em> rotation at <em>constant</em> velocity, the element BD has a <em>general plane</em> motion, which is a combination of rotation and traslation, and the ruff experiments a <em>pure</em> translation.

To determine the <em>linear</em> acceleration of the collar ( $a_{D}$ ), in inches per square second, we need to determine first all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> velocities ( $v_{D}$ , $\omega_{BD}$ ), in inches per second and radians per second, respectively, and later all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> accelerations ( $a_{D}$ , $\alpha_{BD}$ ), the latter in radians per square second.

By definitions of <em>relative</em> velocity and <em>relative</em> acceleration we build the following two systems of <em>linear</em> equations:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D} + \omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta$ (1)

$\omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta$ (2)

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+\alpha_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta -\alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma$ (3)

$-\alpha_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = - \omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta + \alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma$ (4)

If we know that $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , $\gamma = 19.889^{\circ}$ , $r_{BD} = 10\,in$ , $\omega_{AB} = 16\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $r_{AB} = 3\,in$ and $\alpha_{AB} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then the solution of the systems of linear equations are, respectively:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D}+3.402\cdot \omega_{BD} = -41.569$ (1)

$9.404\cdot \omega_{BD} = -24$ (2)

$v_{D} = -32.887\,\frac{in}{s}$ , $\omega_{BD} = -2.552\,\frac{rad}{s}$

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+3.402\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -445.242$ (3)

$-9.404\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -687.264$ (4)

$a_{D} = -693.867\,\frac{in}{s^{2}}$ , $\alpha_{BD} = 73.082\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second. $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and figure is missing, complete form is introduced below:

<em>Arm AB has a constant angular velocity of 16 radians per second counterclockwise. At the instant when θ = 60°, determine the acceleration of collar D.</em>

you are piloting a small plane and you want to reach an airport 450 km due south in 3.0 h a wind is blowing from the west 50.0 k

alex41 [277]

Answer:

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Explanation:

The distance to the air port is 450 km due to south

You should to reach the airport in 3 hours

→ Velocity = distance ÷ time

→ Distance = 450 km , time = 3 hours

→ The velocity of your plane = 450 ÷ 3 = 150 km/h due to south

A wind is blowing from west 50 km/h

We need to know what heading and airspeed you should choose to

reach your destination

At first we must find the resultant velocity of your plane and the wind

The south and west are perpendicular, then the resultant velocity is

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(v_{p})^{2}+(v_{w})^{2}}$

→ $v_{p}=150$ km/h , $v_{w}=50$ km/h

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(150)^{2}+(50)^{2}}=158.11$ km/h

To cancel the velocity of the wind, the pilot should maintain the velocity

of the plane at 158.11 km/h

The direction of the velocity is the angle between the resultant velocity

and the vertical (south)

→ The direction of the velocity is $tan^{-1}\frac{50}{150}=18.4$ °

The direction of the velocity is 18.4° west of south

<em>You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south</em>
