Problem

An eccentric wheel with mass m = 150 kg, mass center G, and radius of gyration kG = 0.4 m...

An eccentric wheel with mass m = 150 kg, mass center G, and radius of gyration kG = 0.4 m is placed on the incline shown such that the wheel’s center of mass G is vertically aligned with P, which is the point of contact with the incline. If the wheel rolls without slip once it is gently nudged away from its initial placement, letting R = 0.55 m, h = 0.25 m, θ = 25°, and d = 0.5 m, determine whether the wheel arrives at B and, if yes, determine the corresponding speed of the center O. Note that the angle POG is not equal to 90° at release.
