Correct

Part B - The minimum required angular velocity when there is friction

Consider the same mechanism again, with m=3.05 kg, d=200 mm, k=160 N/m, only now, instead of being smooth, the collar and shaft have a maximum coefficient of friction of ?s=0.67. What is the minimum angular velocity required to keep the collar at a constant distance r=480 mm from the axis of rotation?

Express your answer to three significant figures.

Correct

Notice that this angular velocity is less than that found in Part A, as expected.

Part C - The maximum allowable angular velocity when there is friction

Consider the same mechanism again, with m=3.05 kg, d=200 mm, k=160 N/m, and ?s=0.67. What is the maximum angular velocity allowable if the collar is to remain at a constant distance r=480 mm from the axis of rotation?

To set up and analyze equations of motion in a cylindrical coordinate system.

The mechanism shown in the figure below rotates about the vertical axis. The collar has mass m=3.05 kg. The spring has an unstretched length of 310 mm and the spring constant is k=160 N/m. The distance d=200 mm , and the collar is required to stay a fixed distance r=480 mm from the vertical axis.

Explanation / Answer

length of spring = sqrt(d^2 + r^2)

= sqrt(200^2 + 480^2) = 520 mm

x = 520 - 310 = 210 mm = 0.210 m

angle of spring will shaft, @ = tan^-1(d/r)

@ = tan^-1 ( 200/480) = 22.62 degrees

balancing forces on collar,

kx cos@ = mw^2 r

160 x 0.210 x cos22.62 = 3.05 x w^2 x 0.480

w = 4.60 rad/s ...........Ans

B) friction = uN

and N = kxsin@ + mg

N = 160x0.210xsin22.62 + 3.05x9.81 = 42.84 N

f = 0.67 x 42.84 = 28.70 N

now, On collar

kx cos@ - f = mw^2 r

160 x0.210 x cos22.62 - 28.70 = 3.05 x w^2 x 0.480

w = 1.25 rad/s

C) for maximum,

kx cos@ + f = mw^2 r

160 x0.210 x cos22.62 + 28.70 = 3.05 x w^2 x 0.480

w = 6.39 rad/s
