MSD Tut Test 27 Feb 2019

• Closed book: please put away all books

• You may consult your OWN copy of the
printed formula sheet
 Code word – for sorting
• You will not write your name on the test, only
your student number
• (This makes it difficult to find them after
marking…)
• Think of a code word (”apple”, “turtle”, “bucs”)
which you can write along with your student
number
• Write it down so you remember it!
• We will sort alphabetically by code word
• Write “MSD210 Tut test” and today’s date
• Write your student number CLEARLY
• Draw a wide margin down the right hand side
• Don’t write in that margin!

 Necessary formulae
• 𝑣 =𝜔×𝑟
• 𝑎 = 𝑎𝑛 + 𝑎𝑡
2
• 𝑎𝑛 = 𝜔 × 𝜔 × 𝑟 = −𝜔 𝑟
• 𝑎𝑡 = 𝛼 × 𝑟

• 𝑣𝐴 = 𝑣𝐵 + 𝑣𝐴/𝐵
• 𝑎𝐴 = 𝑎𝐵 + 𝑎𝐴/𝐵
Link 𝑂𝐵 has constant
angular velocity 𝜔
a) Write the vector
𝑟𝐴/𝐵 .
b) Find the angular
velocity of 𝐴𝐵, 𝜔𝐴𝐵 .
c) Find the angular
acceleration of 𝑂𝐵,
𝛼𝑂𝐵 .

d) On a sketch of the geometry, draw vectors (for known

sign) or lines (for unknown sign) to indicate the
directions of 𝑎𝐴 , 𝑎𝐵 , 𝑎𝐴/𝐵 and 𝑎𝐴/𝐵 .
𝑛 𝑡
 Marking instructions
• Write “Marked by” and your student number
at the top of the wide margin
• Mark each step as shown, write your marks
and comments in the margin

 Marking Part (a)
Link 𝑂𝐵 has
constant a) Write the vector 𝑟𝐴/𝐵 .
angular
velocity 𝜔 Solution:
𝑟𝐴/𝐵 = 𝑟𝑖 − 𝑟𝑗 √

?/1
 Marking Part (b)
Link 𝑂𝐵 has a) Find the angular velocity of 𝐴𝐵, 𝜔𝐴𝐵 .
constant Solution: 𝑣𝐴 = 𝑣𝐵 + 𝑣𝐴/𝐵 √
angular
velocity 𝜔 𝑣𝐴 = 𝑣𝐴 𝑗 √
𝑣𝐵 = 𝜔𝑂𝐵 × 𝑟𝐵/𝑂 = 𝜔𝑘 × 𝑟𝑗
⇒ 𝑣𝐵 = −𝜔𝑟𝑖 √
𝑣𝐴/𝐵 = 𝜔𝐴𝐵 × 𝑟𝐴/𝐵 = 𝜔𝐴𝐵 𝑘 × 𝑟𝑖 − 𝑟𝑗
𝑣𝐴/𝐵 = 𝜔𝐴𝐵 𝑟 𝑖 + 𝑗 √
Substitute in:
𝑣𝐴 𝑗 = −𝜔𝑟𝑖 + 𝜔𝐴𝐵 𝑟 𝑖 + 𝑗
?/5 ⇒ 𝜔𝐴𝐵 = 𝜔 √
 Marking Part (c)
Link 𝑂𝐵 has (c) Find the angular acceleration of
constant 𝑂𝐵, 𝛼𝑂𝐵 .
angular
velocity 𝜔
Solution:
OB has constant angular velocity
⇒ 𝛼𝑂𝐵 = 0 √

?/1
 Marking Part (d)
(d) On a sketch of the geometry, draw
Link 𝑂𝐵 has
vectors (for known sign) or lines (for
constant
unknown sign) to indicate the directions of
angular
velocity 𝜔 𝑎𝐴 , 𝑎𝐵 , 𝑎𝐴/𝐵 and 𝑎𝐴/𝐵 .
