(a) Conservation of angular momentum of collar A: ( H 0 )2 = ( H 0 )1

mAr1(vθ )1 = mAr2 (vθ )2

r1(vθ )1 r12θ1 (0.6)2 (12)

(vθ )2 = = = = 3.6
r2 r2 1.2

( vθ )2 = 3.60 ft/s W

( vθ )2 3.6
θ2 = = = 3.00 rad/s
rA 1.2
(b) Let y be the position coordinate of B, positive upward with origin
at O.
Constraint of the cord: r − y = constant or y = 
 r
Kinematics:

( aB ) y = 
y = 
r and ( a A )r r − rθ 2

Collar B: ΣFy = mB aB : T − WB = mB 
y = mB 
r (1)

Collar A: ΣFr = mA ( a A )r : − T = mA 
r − rθ 2 ( ) (2)
Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate T,
−WB = ( mA + mB ) 
r + m Arθ 2

mArθ 2 − WB ( 0.08075 )(1.2 )( 3.00 ) − ( 2.6 )

a A / rod = 
r= = = −10.70 ft/s 2
mA + mB 0.08075 + 0.08075
T = mB ( 
r + g ) = ( 0.08075)( −10.70 + 32.2 ) T = 1.736 lb W

a A / rod = 10.70 ft/s 2 radially inward. W
