ROTATION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION

Example:
2. When the angular velocity of a 4 –ft diameter pulley is 3 rad per
sec, the total acceleration of a point on its rim is 30 ft per sec2 .
Determine the angular acceleration of the pulley at this instant?

Given:
d = 4 ft
ω=3

a = 30
Required:
α=?
ROTATION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION

Given: d = 4 ft (r = 2ft) ω=3 a = 30


Solution:
at = rα
* we cannot yet solve α since we do not know at
* but we may be able to solve for at from the equation a2 = at2 +an2

a2 = at2 + an2
* but we cannot yet solve at again since we do not know an
* but we can solve an from the equation an = rω2

an = rω2
an = 2(32)
an = 18
* we can now solve for at from the equation a2 = at2 +an2
ROTATION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION

Given: d = 4 ft (r = 2ft) ω=3 a = 30

Solution:
a2 = at2 + an2
302 = at2 + 182
at = 24

* we can now yet solve α since we already know the value of at

at = rα
24 = 2α
α = 12
ROTATION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION

Example:
3. The initial angular velocity of the compound pulley B
in the figure is 6 rad per sec counter clockwise and
weight D is decelerating at a constant rate of 4 ft per
sec2. What distance will weight A travel before coming
to rest?

Solution:
* substituting equation 4a to equation 3a:

.
θB = SD – eq. 2b

B C Required: SA

A D
Solution:
* Since we know that velocity and acceleration have the same form as formula of distance we can say

VA = 3ωB = 3VD
aA = 3αB = 3aD
* We can solve for the distance traveled by weight A (SA) by the formula v2 = v02 +2as, since we know that the
final velocity of the pulley is 0
VA2 = v0A2 +2aASA
* but we do not know the value of v0 and but we can solve them
