Question
A uniform disk of mass 0.80 kg and radius 5.6 cm is mounted in the center of a 10 cm axle and spun at 800 rev/min. The axle is then placed in a horizontal position with one end resting on a pivot. The other end is given an initial horizontal velocity such that the precession is smooth with no nutation.
(a) What is the magnitude of the angular velocity of precession?
_______rad/s
(b) What is the speed of the center of mass during the precession?
________m/s
(c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the center of mass?
________m/s2
(d) What is the magnitude of the vertical component of the force exerted by the pivot?
_________N
What is the horizontal component?
_________N
Explanation / Answer
a)
wp = M * g * D / Is * ws
Is = 0.5 * m * R^2
wp = 2*g*D /(R^2 *ws)
then
wp = 2 * 9.8 * 0.05 / (0.056^2 * 800 * 2 * pie/60)
wp = 3.73 rad/s
b)
Vcm = wp * D
Vcm = 3.73 * 0.05 = 0.1865 m/s
c)
acm = D * wp^2
acm = 0.695 m/s^2
d)
Fv = M*g
Fh = M*acm
Fv = 0.8 * 9.8 = 7.84 N
Fh = 0.8 * 0.695 = 0.556 N
