Question

Problem 1 Arm AB, shown below, rotates about point A at a rate of 8 rad/sec and acceleration of 5 rad/sec$^2$. Slider C of mass 0.05kg (which is inside arm AB) is 0.15m from point A and is attached to a cable as shown. If the surface between the arm and the slider is smooth determine a) the tension in the cable and b) the normal reaction on the slider.

Step 1

The angular velocity of the slider can be determined using the formula: ω = α * t where ω is the angular velocity, α is the angular acceleration, and t is the time. Given that the angular acceleration α is 5 rad/sec^2, we can substitute the values into the Show more…

Problem 1: Arm AB, shown below, rotates about point A at a rate of 8 rad/sec and has an acceleration of 5 rad/sec^2. Slider C, with a mass of 0.05 kg (which is inside arm AB), is located 0.15 m from point A and is attached to a cable as shown. If the surface between the arm and the slider is smooth, determine a) the tension in the cable and b) the normal reaction on the slider.
