I have a question about this problem. A rotationally symmetric axle wheel system is smoothly joined to a fixed point O.
l=distance from O to CM
m=mass of axle wheel system
R=Radius of wheel
Is and I are the principal moments of inertia relative to CM.
The axle is horizonal as the wheel...
I am having problems figuring out this problem. A rigid body having an axis of symmetry rotates freely about a fixed point under no torques. If alpha is the angle nbetween the axis of symmetry and hte instantous axis of rotaiton, show that he angle between the axis of rotaiton(omega) and the...
Hi. My question is this. A uniform rod of length 2L is held resting on a horizonal table with length L+a projecting over the edge. If the support is removed, show tthat the rod willb egin to slide over hte ege when it has turned through an angle tan^-1(mu*L^2/(L^2+ 9a^2)). mu is the coeffiecent...
