    Week Five – Test Questions

    These questions will test your knowledge of the weekly content and are taken from Fundamentals of
    Applied Dynamics, JH Williams Jr, 1996, Wiley.

    Example 1

    As sketched in the figure, a ship is rolling at a


    constant angular velocity 𝜔1 about the 𝑋
    direction, with respect to ground, and is pitching
    at a constant angular velocity 𝜔2 about the 𝑌
    direction, with respect to ground. The radar
    antenna located on the ship is rotating at a
    constant angular velocity 𝜔0 about the 𝑍
    direction, with respect to the pitching and rolling
    ship.

    Find the angular velocity and angular


    acceleration of the radar antenna (with respect
    to the ground) at the instant shown.

    Solution is in the Example Problems folder under


    Topic 5 on LMS

    Example 2
    A rod of length𝑙 with a wheel of radius𝑟 attached
    to one of its ends is rotating
    about a vertical axis 𝐴𝐴 at a constant angular
    velocity 𝛺, as sketched in the figure. The rod is in a
    horizontal plane and
    the disk is in a vertical plane. The wheel is
    rolling without slip on the horizontal
    supporting surface, as shown.

    Find the angular velocity and angular


    acceleration of the wheel (with respect to
    the ground).

    Solution is in the Example Problems folder under


    Topic 5 on LMS
    Question 1

    A disk is spinning on a shaft 𝐴𝐵 and rotates at an angular velocity


    𝜔2 = 15 𝑟𝑒𝑣/𝑠 with respect to shaft 𝐴𝐵, as shown. Shaft 𝐴𝐵 is
    mounted on a cone-shaped base of conical angle 25°, which is
    rotating about its axis 𝐶𝐷 at an angular velocity 𝜔1 = 200 𝑟𝑒𝑣/𝑠,
    with respect to ground.

    Find the angular acceleration of the disk (with respect to ground).

    Question 2

    A boy is spinning a bucket of water such that the bucket


    moves in a circle of radius 𝑅 in the vertical plane at a constant
    speed 𝑣, as shown.

    Determine the acceleration of the bucket (with respect to


    ground) at locations 𝐴 and 𝐵; that is, the highest and lowest
    points of the path.

    The reference frames in the sketch are as follows: 𝑂𝑋𝑌𝑍 is


    fixed to the ground; 𝑂𝑥𝑦𝑧 is fixed to the rope.

    Question 3

    An amusement park ride consists of swinging arms (only two are shown) pinned to a rotating
    column, as shown. As the column rotates at a constant rate, the arms swing out. Each swinging arm
    has an effective length of 50 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡. At the instant
    shown, the column is rotating at 0.225 𝑟𝑒𝑣/𝑠𝑒𝑐 and
    the arms form an angle of 50° with respect to
    the vertical.

    Find the velocity and acceleration of the crouched


    rider inside the cage labelled 𝐴, at the instant shown
    (with respect to ground).

    The reference frames in the sketch are as follows:


    𝑂𝑋𝑌𝑍 is fixed to the ground; 𝑂𝑥𝑦𝑧 is fixed to the
    swinging arm.
    Question 4

    A centrifuge is often used for astronaut training.


    A simplified version is shown, in which a cockpit
    is rigidly attached to an arm that is driven by a
    motor. If in a particular test, starting from rest,
    the driving motor supplies a constant angular
    acceleration of 0.5 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 2 , and the distance
    from the astronaut’s navel to the rotation axis is
    10 𝑚, find the acceleration of the astronaut’s
    navel as a function of time (with respect to
    the ground).

    The reference frames in the sketch are as follows: 𝑂𝑋𝑌𝑍 is fixed to the ground; 𝑂𝑥𝑦𝑧 is fixed to the
    arm.

    Question 5

    Rotor blades of a helicopter are of radius 5.2 𝑚 and rotating at a constant angular velocity of
    5 𝑟𝑒𝑣/𝑠. The helicopter is flying horizontally in a straight line at a speed of 5 𝑚/𝑠 and an
    acceleration of 0.5 𝑚/𝑠 2 , as shown.

    Find the velocity and acceleration of point 𝐴, the outermost tip of a blade (with respect to ground),
    when 𝜃 is 0°, 90°, and 180°.

    The reference frames in the sketch are as follows: 𝑂𝑋𝑌𝑍 is fixed to the ground; 𝑂𝑥𝑦𝑧 is fixed to the
    translating helicopter.
