Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Plane Kinetics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 6_41
6/41 A reel of flexible power cable is mounted on the dolly, which is fixed in position. There are 200 ft of cable weighing 0.436 lb per foot of length wound on the reel at a radius of 15 in. The empty spool weighs 62 lb and has a radius of gyration about its axis of 12 in. A tension \(T\) of 20 lb is required to overcome frictional resistance to turning. Calculate the angular acceleration \(\alpha\) of the reel if a tension of 40 lb is applied to the free end of the cable.
π Solution Approach
Given: 41 A, 200 ft, 0.436 lb, 15 in, 62 lb, 12 in
