  1. The design of the rotating arm OA of a control mechanism requires that it ro- tate about the vertical Z-axis at the constant rate Ω = β˙ = 3. rad/s. Simultaneously, OA oscillates according to θ = θ 0 sin (4Ωt), where θ 0 = 0.523598775598299 radians and t is in seconds measured from the time when β = 0. Determine the velocity vA and acceleration aA of the ball tip A for the condition when t = 0.5 s. Distance b = 120 mm, s = 100 mm, Ω = 3.14159265358979 rad/s. (2.5 pts.)
  1. The thin circular disk of radius r = 100 mm is rotating about its z−axis with a constant angular velocity p = 40 rad/s, and the yoke in which it is mounted rotates about the x−axis through OB with a constant angular velocity ω 1 = 3 rad/s. Simultaneously, the entire assembly rotates about the fixed Y −axis through O with a constant angular velocity ω 2 = 2 rad/s. Determine the kinetic energy T and the angular momentum HO with respect to O of the disk for the instant represented, when the x-y plane coincides with the X-Y plane. The mass of the disk is m = 2 kg and the distance b is 200 mm. (2.5 pts.)
  1. The uniform slender bar of mass m and length l is centrally mounted on the shaft A-A, about which it rotates with a constant speed ϕ˙ = p. Simultaneously, the yoke is forced to rotate about the x−axis with a constant speed ω 0. Determine the magnitude of the torque M required to maintain the constant speed. Ignore the mass of the yoke. Use the values m = 5 kg, l = 300 mm, p = 18 rad/s, ω 0 = 5 rad/s, and ϕ˙ = 30°. (2.5 pts.)
  1. The housing of the electric motor is freely pivoted about the horizontal x-axis, which passes through the mass center G of the rotor. If the motor is turning at the constant rate ϕ˙ = p, determine the angular acceleration, ψ¨ which will result from the application of the moment M about the vertical shaft if ˙γ = ψ˙ = 0. The mass of the frame and housing is considered to be negligible compared to the mass m of the rotor. The radius of gyration of the rotor about the z-axis is kz and that about the x-axis is kx. (2.5 pts.)
  1. Each of the slender rods of length l and mass m is welded to the circular disk which rotates about the vertical z-axis with an angular velocity ω. Each rod makes an angle β with the vertical and lies in a plane parallel to the y − z plane. Determine an expression for the angular momentum HO of the two rods about the origin O of the axes. (2.5 pts.)
  1. The paint stirrer shown in the figure is made from a rod of length 7b and a mass ρ per unit length. Before immersion in the paint, the stirrer is rotating freely at a constant angular velocity ω about its z-axis. Determine the magnitude M of the bending moment M in the rod at the base O of the chuck. (2.5 pts.)
