The disk rolls without sliding on the fixed horizontal surface. At the instant shown, the instantaneous center of zero velocity for rod would be located in which region? Region 1 Region 2 Region 3 Region 4 Region 5 Region 6
Solution
VerifiedThe instantaneous centre of rotation for rod can be found at an intersect of lines perpendicular to velocities of points and .
Point can only move along the horizontal direction. The disk rolls without sliding, so point has velocity zero. The velocity of point is then perpendicular to the line connecting and .
Instantaneous centre of rotation can then be located at , as can be seen on the figure. Here, the situation shown is for clockwise angular velocity of rod , but the same conclusion can be drawn for counterclockwise direction.
