Consider Prob. 8.55 on p. 637 in which an eccentric wheel B is spun from rest under the action of a known torque M. In that problem, it was said that the wheel was in the horizontal plane. Is it possible to solve Prob. 8.55 by just applying Eq. (8.44) on p. 627 if the wheel is in the vertical plane? Why?
