Dynamics: Absolute Dependent Motion

This document discusses absolute dependent motion where the motion of one particle depends on the motion of another connected particle. It provides examples of blocks connected by inextensible cords over pulleys where the movement of one block causes corresponding movement of the other. It outlines the procedure for analysis which involves establishing position coordinates for each particle, relating the coordinates using geometry/trigonometry, and taking time derivatives to determine velocity and acceleration equations relating the particle motions. Several example problems are provided to demonstrate determining speeds of blocks in various pulley systems.

DYNAMICS

Absolute Dependent
Motion:
Analysis of Two Particles
Absolute Dependent Motion
In some types of problems the motion of
one particle will depend on the
corresponding motion of another particle.
This dependency commonly occurs if the
particles, are interconnected by
inextensible cords which are wrapped
around pulleys
Example

The movement of block A


downward along the inclined
plane in the figure will cause a
corresponding movement of block
B up the other incline.
Absolute Dependent Motion
• Note that each of the coordinate axes is
(1) measured from a fixed point (0) or fixed
datum line, (2) measured along each
inclined plane in the direction of motion of
each block, and (3) has a positive sense
from C to A and D to B.
Absolute Dependent Motion
• If the total cord length is IT, the two
position coordinates are related by the
equation :

SA + ʅCD + SB = ʅT
Example
A more complicated example is
shown in the next figure. In this case,
the position of block A is specified by
SA, and the position of the end of the
cord from which block B is
suspended is defined by SB
Absolute Dependent Motion
• Like the previous example, we have chosen
position coordinates which :
(1) have their origin at fixed points or
datums, (2) are measured in the direction of
motion of each block, and (3) are positive to
the right for SA and positive downward for SB
Absolute Dependent Motion
• During the motion, the length of the red
colored segments of the cord in the figure
remains constant. If ʅ represents the total
length of cord minus these segments, then the
position coordinates can be related by the
equation:
Procedure for Analysis
• The above method of relating the
dependent motion of one particle to that of
another can be performed using algebraic
scalars or position coordinates provided each
particle moves along a rectilinear path. When
this is the case, only the magnitudes of the
velocity and acceleration of the particles will
change, not their line of direction.
Procedure for Analysis
Position-Coordinate Equation
• Establish each position coordinate with an
origin located at a fixed point or datum
• It is not necessary that the origin be the
same for each of the coordinates; however, it
is important that each coordinate axis selected
be directed along the path of motion of the
particle.
Procedure for Analysis
Position-Coordinate Equation
• Using geometry or trigonometry, relate the
position coordinates to the total length of
the cord, ʅT, or to that portion of cord, ʅ,
which excludes the segments that do not
change length as the particles move - such
as arc segments wrapped over pulleys.
Procedure for Analysis
Position-Coordinate Equation
• If a problem involves a system of two or more
cords wrapped around pulleys, then the position
of a point on one cord must be related to the
position of a point on another cord using the
above procedure. Separate equations are written
for a fixed length of each cord of the system and
the positions of the two particles are then
related by these equations
Procedure for Analysis
Time Derivatives
• Two successive time derivatives of the position-
coordinate equations yield the required velocity
and acceleration equations which relate the
motions of the particles.
• The signs of the terms in these equations will be
consistent with those that specify the positive
and negative sense of the position coordinates.
Example Problems
1. Determine the
speed of block A
in the figure if
block B has an
upward speed of
6 ft/s.
Example Problems
2. Determine the
speed of A in the
figure if B has an
upward speed of
6 ft/s.
Example Problems
3. Determine the
speed of block B in
the figure if the
end of the cord at
A is pulled down
with a speed of 2
m/s.
Example Problems
4. Determine the
speed of block D if
end A of the rope is
pulled down with a
speed of vA = 3
m/s.
Example Problems
5. Determine the
speed of block A if
end B of the rope is
pulled down with a
speed of 6 m/s.
Example Problems
6. Determine the
speed of cylinder B
if cylinder A moves
downward with a
speed of vA = 4 ft/s.
Example Problems
7. The mine car C is being
pulled up the incline using
the motor M and the rope-
and-pulley arrangement
shown. Determine the speed
vp at which a point P on the
cable must be traveling
toward the motor to move
the car up the plane with a
constant speed of v = 2 m/s.
