PROBLEM 17.

The 10-in.-radius brake drum is attached to a larger flywheel which

is not shown. The total mass moment of inertia of the flywheel and
drum is 16 lb ft s2 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the drum and the brake shoe is 0.40. Knowing that the initial angular
velocity is 240 rpm clockwise, determine the force which must be
exerted by the hydraulic cylinder if the system is to stop in 75
revolutions.

shown when a constant force P 200 N is applied to
cylinder A, determine (a) the velocity of cylinder A as
it strikes the ground, (b) the total distance that block
B moves before coming to rest.
