    Dynamics -- 2 shafts rotating & connected with a clutch During the operation of a machine, two shafts rotate in opposite directions and are then connected by a clutch system. Shaft 1 has a rotational speed of 800 rev/min, a mass of 35 kg and a radius of gyration of 375 mm. Shaft 2 has a...

    How Does Angular Motion Affect the Centrifugal Force on a Motorcar Wheel?

    torque? I am confusing myself thought I thought I would find T by using T=Ia although I would need to find I first. So am I way out? Is it just half the diameter? 0.165

    How Does Angular Motion Affect the Centrifugal Force on a Motorcar Wheel?

    A mass of 5g is required to balance a motorcar wheel. If the mass is attached to the 0.33m diameter wheel rim, calculate the centrifugal force acting on the rim of the wheel. The speed of rotation is 521 rev/min.ω= 2∏N/60 F= M ω2 T ω=2∏*521/60 = 54.6 rad/s F= 5*10-3*(54.6)2*T I am not sure...

    How Do I Calculate the Natural Frequency and Time Elapsed for a Gas Compressor?

    I had the image of a sine wave in my head but was not sure exactly what I was looking for. Your a star thank you. I have a couple of other questions I plan on working through tomorrow. Will it be ok to add them to this post? (Same subject. Same coursework sheet.)

    How Do I Calculate the Natural Frequency and Time Elapsed for a Gas Compressor?

    Thank you Simon, So thumbs up for part (i) YAY! ii) ωn/2π = 26.8/2π=4.2 Hz I think I did miss out a step because my first answer was 42. I checked with a rad/s to Hz converter which gave me 4.2653524797 (I should actually round up to 4.3 I guess) To match the answer I used 26.8/6.283185 and...

    How Do I Calculate the Natural Frequency and Time Elapsed for a Gas Compressor?

    I hope I am posting in the right place. I am a 1st year University student. Although I am undertaking a BSc in Computer and Electronic System Engineering I have a Mechanical Principles module which I am finding a little bit of a struggle. Mechanical Principles - Dynamics: a) A diaphragm type...
