Contact: friction <strong>and</strong> collisionsgyy h<strong>and</strong>Aθmê θLêrCĵxîa) Given the tip angle φ, the tip rate ˙φ <strong>and</strong>the values of the various parameters (m,R, L, g) find ¨φ.

[Stablemeans that if the person is slightlyperturbed from vertically up that theirresulting motion will be such that theyremain nearly vertically up for all futuretime.] answer below is questionable,says someone ∗e) Can it be true that ω n+ = ω (n+1)+ ?About how fast is the wheel going inthis situation?f) As the number of spokes m goes <strong>to</strong> infinity,in what senses does this wheelbecome like an ordinary wheel?k evenly spaced spokes(h)TableShake knifeback-&-forthin this directionφGL2Rproblem 10.70:(Filename:pfigure.blue.109.1)Press finger hereproblem 10.67: The sketch of the knifeon the table goes with part (h).(Filename:pfigure.vert.shake)10.5 Dynamics of rigidbodies in multi-degree-offreedom2D mechanisms10.68 Double pendulum. The double pendulumshown is made up of two uniform bars,each of length l <strong>and</strong> mass m. The pendulumis released from rest at φ 1 = 0 <strong>and</strong> φ 2 = π/2.Just after release what are the values of ¨φ 1 <strong>and</strong>¨φ 2 ? Answer in terms of other quantities. ∗Olφ 1Aφ 2problem 10.68:lB(Filename:pfigure.s94h12p2)10.69 A rocker. A st<strong>and</strong>ing dummy is modeledas having massless rigid circular feet ofradius R rigidly attached <strong>to</strong> their uniform rigidbody of length L <strong>and</strong> mass m.

Assume that when it rolls a spoke hitsthe ground <strong>and</strong> doesn’t bounce. The body justswings around the contact point until the nextspoke hits the ground. The uniform spokeshave length R. Assume that the mass of thewheel is m, <strong>and</strong> that the polar moment of inertiaabout its center is I (use I = mR 2 /2ifyou want <strong>to</strong> get a better sense of the solution).Assume that just before collision number n, theangular velocity of the wheel is ω n− , the kineticenergy is T n− , the potential energy (you mustclearly define your datum) is U n −. Just aftercollision n the angular velocity of the wheel isω n+ . The Kinetic Energy is T N+ , the potentialenergy (you must clearly define your datum) isU n+ . The wheel has k spokes (pick k = 4ifyou have trouble with abstraction). This problemis not easy. It can be answered at a varietyof levels. The deeper you get in<strong>to</strong> it the moreyou will learn.a) What is the relation between ω n− <strong>and</strong>T n− ?b) What is the relation between ω n− <strong>and</strong>ω n+ ?c) Assume ‘rolling’ on level ground.What is the relation between ω n+ <strong>and</strong>ω n+1 ?d) Assume rolling down hill at slope θ.What is the relation between ω n+ <strong>and</strong>ω n+1 ?
