Problem (1)
The motion of an oscillating flywheel is
defined by the relation:
   0 e7 t / 6 sin 4 t,

determine, the angular coordinate, the
angular velocity, and the angular
acceleration of the flywheel when;
(a) t = 0.125 s,
(b) t = ∞.

to the left with a velocity of 120 mm/s,
determine
a) the angular velocity of the drums
b) the velocity of the center of the drums
c) the length of cord wound or unwound
per second.
