    The document is a homework problem that provides the velocity of a bicycle and angular velocity of its rear wheel to calculate the velocity at point A on the wheel. It states the bicycle is traveling at 4 ft/s and the wheel is rotating clockwise at 3 rad/s. Using the equation that the velocity of a point on a rotating object equals the object's velocity plus the cross product of the angular velocity and radius, it solves for the velocity at point A, which is -2.5 ft/s.

    Problem 16-67

    The bicycle has a velocity v = 4 ft/s, and at the same instant the rear wheel has a clockwise angular velocity = 3 rad/s, which causes it to slip at its contact point A. Determine the velocity of point A.

    Equations
    vC = vA + rC/A (1)

    Solution
    If the wheel were slipping while we were trying to nd the velocity at A, things would be slightly more complicated. However, we can assume that the wheel begins to slip immediately after we are aked to nd the velocity at A. Thus our equation will work. Lets get rolling on this problem. #given omega = 3 v_C = 4 r_CA = 26/12 #define variable var(v_A) #define equation and solve eq = v_C == v_A + omega*r_CA sln = solve(eq,v_A) vA = 2.5 ft/s #rad/s #ft/s #ft
