Force due rotation about axis parallel to centroidal axis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the force due to unbalanced mass in a disc rotating about an axis parallel to the centroidal axis. The formula F(force) = m x r x w² is initially used, where 'm' represents the mass of the unbalanced portion, 'r' is the distance from the center, and 'w' is the rotational speed. Participants clarify that the term "force" in this context is actually a mass multiplied by acceleration. For the new geometry, a similar approach should be applied to derive the appropriate equation for unbalancing forces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rotational dynamics

in the case of a disc rotating about the centroidal axis and having an unbalanced mass we used the formula
F(force)=m x r x w^2, where r is the distance from the center to the center, m mass of the unbalanced, w rotational speed
in the case of a disc rotating about axis parallel to the centroidal axis what equation we may use, what equation shall we use to obtain the force of unbalancing.

Start by recognizing that the "force" you used in the first place was not a force at all but a mass x acceleration term. For the new case, do the same thing in the new geometry; it will work out.
