    Disk Mechanic Rod
AI Thread Summary
A rod and a disk are analyzed in a kinematics problem where the rod rolls without creep and the disk rolls without creep at point Q, which is the instant rotation center. The discussion focuses on determining the relationship between the velocities at points A and P, with point P being the tangent point of the disk. Clarification is sought regarding whether point P is the top of the disk or the tangent point, as the fastest point is identified as the top. The professor requested a qualitative assessment of the velocity in relation to the angular velocity, specifically without using a mathematical formulation. The conversation emphasizes the need for defining variables and relationships to solve the problem effectively.

A rod rolls without creep. And the disk rolls without creep on Q. The rod can just moves on y. Which is the relation among Va and Vohm?
Va= velocity in A
My resolution:
in Q we know that velocity is zero.Q is also the instant rotation center ( disk).so the P point ( disk) is the fastest. How to bound speed in
##\Omega## and Va?
I mean, just seeing the picture, without using the fondant formula of rigid cinematic. I could think it's like the half of Va.
Ps.it's my first article and my english isn't so good, I hope you'll understand anyway.

Your picture does not define point P very well. Is it the top of the disk, or is it the tangent point? If it is the tangent point (as I suspect), it is "not the fastest point." The "fastest point" is directly on the top.

This is a kinematics problem, and as such, you need to define some more variables and write the suitable relations among them. Define a variable name for the height of point A, a variable for the distance from A to the tangent point (P?), and the angle of the bar with respect to the horizontal. Then write the equations defining the closed loop from the origin to A to P to the center of the disk to Q and back to the origin; there will be two such equations. These can be solved for what you need.

Thanks for reply,
Point P is tangent, the question that teacher asked to me was "give me a qualitative consideration of velocity in ##\Omega##"
For example the direction, and approximately the entity like "it's 1/3...2/3 of Va". The problem gives me just Va and nothing else. I tried to set problem analytically but professor said no.
 
Afraid I can't help you if a proper mathematical formulation is not allowed.
