In summary: D for values of θ from 0 to 90 degrees. We can use these equations to calculate the values for any given angle within this range. In summary, we can solve this problem by breaking it down into smaller parts and using the given formulas to calculate the values for angular velocity and velocity of point D.

Hello!, I am trying to solve this problem of the book beer vector mechanics for engineers statics and dynamics, I`ll be very glad if you can help me with this

Each of the two identical slender bars shown has a length L. Knowing that the system is released from rest when the bars are horizontal, calculate the equations for angular velocity(ω) of rod AB and velocity of point D for values of θ from 0 to 90 degrees.

Here are some formulas that might help:
I= 1/12 mL^2
Principle of conservation of energy T1 + V1 = T2+V2
V=mgh
T= (1/2)*Iω^2
V= ωxr

First I tried to solve as a mechanism of three bars but it didn´t work and I´m trying to solve it with moments of Inertia I= 1/12 mL^2 and kinematics but the problem doesn´t say the mass of the rods, I also tried to solve for the equations of the two positions (when the rods are horizontal and when the angle is 90) but I can not get to anywhere
Thanks for taking your time to read this.

Hello there! I would be happy to help you with this problem. First, let's start by breaking down the problem into smaller parts.

1. Identify the variables and their values:
- Length of the bars (L)
- Initial angle (θ)
- Mass of the bars (m)
- Gravitational acceleration (g)
- Moment of inertia (I)

2. Write down the given formulas:
- Principle of conservation of energy: T1 + V1 = T2 + V2
- Potential energy: V = mgh
- Kinetic energy: T = (1/2)*I*ω^2
- Velocity of point D: V = ω*r

3. Determine the initial and final positions:
- Initial position: rods are horizontal (θ = 0)
- Final position: angle is 90 degrees (θ = 90)

4. Calculate the potential energy at the initial and final positions:
- Initial position: V1 = mgh = 0 (since the rods are horizontal, h = 0)
- Final position: V2 = mgh = mgL (since the angle is 90 degrees, h = L)

5. Calculate the moment of inertia for a slender rod:
- Using the formula I = 1/12 * m * L^2, we can rearrange it to solve for mass: m = 12I/L^2
- Since the rods are identical, we can assume they have the same mass: m1 = m2 = m
- Plugging in the values, we get m = 12I/L^2

6. Calculate the kinetic energy at the final position:
- Using the formula T = (1/2)*I*ω^2, we can rearrange it to solve for angular velocity: ω = √(2T/I)
- Since the rods are identical, they have the same velocity: ω1 = ω2 = ω
- Plugging in the values, we get ω = √(2mgL/I)

7. Calculate the velocity of point D at the final position:
- Using the formula V = ω*r, we can rearrange it to solve for velocity: V = ω*r = √(2mgL/I) * L = √(2mgL^2/I)

8. Now we have all the equations for angular velocity (ω) and velocity of
 

1. What are the two types of dynamic problems for two bars?

The two types of dynamic problems for two bars are impact and vibration.

2. How do you solve an impact problem for two bars?

To solve an impact problem for two bars, you need to consider the conservation of momentum and energy. You also need to determine the coefficient of restitution, which represents the ratio of the relative velocities after and before impact.

3. What factors can affect the vibration of two bars?

The factors that can affect the vibration of two bars include the material properties of the bars, their dimensions, and the boundary conditions at their ends. The external forces and their frequencies can also have an impact on the vibration.

4. How do you model the dynamics of two bars?

The dynamics of two bars can be modeled using equations of motion, which are derived from Newton's second law of motion. These equations consider the forces acting on the bars, their masses, and their accelerations.

5. Can the dynamics of two bars be solved analytically?

In some cases, the dynamics of two bars can be solved analytically using mathematical techniques such as calculus and differential equations. However, in more complex cases, numerical methods may be necessary to obtain a solution.
