The moment of inertia of the human body about an axis through its center of mass is important in the application of biomechanics to sports such as diving and gymnastics. We can measure the body's moment of inertia in a particular position while a person remains in that position on a horizontal turntable, with the bodys center of mass on the turntable's rotational axis. The turntable with the person on it is then accelerated from rest by a torque that...
A rigid body, with its center of mass located at the position r G = − 2.76 I ^ + 0.96 J ^ (in), and rotating about the origin A, has a mass of m = 8.24lbm and a moment of inertia about its center of mass of I G = 11.3290 lbf in s2. At the instant shown, it has an angular velocity of θ ˙ = − 0.21 rad/s. In addition to the gravitational force acting in the...
01. Answer both parts of this question. Part-1 2D Rigid Body Dynamics The machine shown in Figure Q1a comprises an arm AB attached to a rotating joint at point A, which can also be elevated by a hydraulic ram. The arm has mass 100 kg and moment of inertia IG = 10 kgm about mass centre G. A fixed x-y frame is shown with its origin at point A. At the instant shown, the arm is in the horizontal position...
A rigid bar in the shape of a T has a mass of 10 kg. The T-shaped body of mass m is composed of two identical slender bars welded together. End A is constrained to move in the slotted frictionless groove guided by the light frictionless roller as shown in Figure 3. The lower end of the T is released from rest in the vertical plane in the position shown, and the dimension /= 1 m. (i) Determine the location...
A grinding wheel is a uniform cylinder with a radius of 8.50 cm and a mass of 0.480 kg. Calculate its moment of inertia about its center.
We wish to determine the moment at the shoulder that is required to perform the arm motion (shoulder abduction) depicted in Figure 3 below. This motion may be modelled with a simple, single- element linkage system as shown in the figure. The shoulder joint is represented by a simple pin support centred at O. The arm and the carried weight are represented as a rigid body consisting of a rod and a cuboid. In the rigid body model, the length...
We Part (a) [2 marks] The angular displacement of the rigid body ranges from θ = 0° (the vertical as shown in the figure) to θ = 135° and can be modelled using simple harmonic motion. Assuming a rate of 20 [reps/min], write down an expression for angular displacement, θ [rad] as a function of time, t [s]. You may assume that the motion starts with an angular displacement of 135°. Hint: The angular displacement, θ can be expressed as...
A cylinder with moment of inertia I about its center of mass, mass m, and radius r has a string wrapped around it which is tied to the ceiling (Figure 1) . The cylinder's vertical position as a function of time is y(t).At time t=0 the cylinder is released from rest at a height h above the ground.Part BIn similar problems involving rotating bodies, you will often also need the relationship between angular acceleration, ?, and linear acceleration, a. Find...
(Figure 1)The figure shows a simple model of a seesaw These consist of a plank/rod of mass mr and length 2x allowed to pivot freely about its center (or central axis), as shown in the diagram. A small sphere of mass m1 is attached to the left end of the rod, and a small sphere of mass m2 is attached to the right end. The spheres are small enough that they can be considered point particles. The gravitational force acts...
