Question

Problem 2 A uniform rod having a mass of 5 kg is pin supported at A from a roller which rides on a horizontal track. If the rod is originally at rest, and a horizontal force of F = 75 N is applied to the roller, determine the acceleration of the roller. Neglect the mass of the roller and its size $d$ in the computations. (Answer: 60.0 m/s$^2$) d A F 0.6 m

Step 1

First, let's draw a free body diagram of the rod. Since the rod is pin-supported at point A, there will be a reaction force acting at point A in the vertical direction (upwards). Additionally, there will be a horizontal force acting on the rod due to the applied Show more…
