MAE 2600 (SP2012) Quiz #30 Solutions

Q30A. The disk is rotating at  = 3 rad/s and  = 8 rad/s2 at the instant shown. Determine the
magnitude of the acceleration of point A.
At point A:
at =  r = 8(2) = 16

an = 2 r = (3)2(2) = 88

aA = (at2 + an2)1/2
= [(16)2 + (18)2]1/2 = 24.08 = 24.1 ft/s2 Ans.

OR aA = aO +  x rA/O - 2 rA/O
= 0 + (- 8 k) x (2 i) - (3)2(2 i)
= - 16 j - 18 i

Q30B. The disk is moving to the left such that it has an angular velocity  = 3 rad/s and angular
acceleration  = 8 rad/s2 at the instant shown. If it does not slip at A, determine the velocity and
acceleration of point A and E.
IC at A: vA = 0 Ans.
vE =  rE/IC = (3)(0.8) = 2.4
vE = (- 2.4 i) m/s Ans.
OR vE = vA +  x rE/A = 0 + (3 k) x (0.8 j) = - 2.4 i
vC =  rC/IC = (3)(0.5) = 1.5, vC = - 1.5 i
vE = vC +  x rE/C
= - 1.5 i + (3 k) x (0.3 j) = - 1.5 i - 0.9 i = - 2.4 i

No slipping at A: aC =  r = (8)(0.5) = 4  aC = - 4 i m/s2

aA = aC +  x rA/C - 2 rA/C
= - 4 i + (8 k) x (- 0.5 j) - (3)2(- 0.5 j) = - 4 i + 4 i + 4.5 j = (4.5 j) m/s2 Ans.
aE = aC +  x rE/C - 2 rE/C
= - 4 i + (8 k) x (0.3 j) - (3)2(0.3 j) = - 4 i - 2.4 i - 2.7 j = (- 6.4 i - 2.7 j) m/s2 Ans.
