Hello, when drawing the FBD for the first problem @ 4:12 how did you know that the normal force N is acting on the can 30 degrees below the radial axis? You said that the normal force is always perpendicular to the tangent [of the path] but when did we find the tangent to figure out the position of N?

[@QuestionSolutions]

So it's actually where the wheel is touching, because wherever the wheel touches (it's the brown curve) would be the tangent point since it's a circle. The angle is already given, so it would be 30 degrees from the radial line. If you had a wheel on a flat surface, the normal force would be straight up, right? That's because that's the contacting point from the floor. In the same way, this wheel is touching 2 places, the arm and the curve. The normal force is simply tangent to that curve while the force being applied is tangent to the radial line. I hope that makes sense. 👍

[@Mechomittencaterpillar]

mind if I take a crack at this from a different approach? It took me a while to come up with another explanation as to why the normal force had the direction of 30 degrees below the radial axis, but I have a theory. If you hypothetically move the rod all the way up to the very top of the circular path with radius of 0.6m, theta would be equal to 45 degrees, while the normal force would be completely vertical and pointing upwards for the barrel. If theta were approaching zero, the normal force would become almost horizontal even though the magnitude would be smaller (if theta were zero, the barrel would not even be on the circular path). So, to find the direction of the normal force for any given point along this circular path, it's basically theta = normal force direction in relation to the radial axis. To my understanding of the problem, this is why the angle is 30 degrees!

[@beterax]

Origin of the mechanical arm to the middle of the mountain is 600mm, the radius of the mountain is also 600mm. This creates an isosceles triangle. And inside such a triangle, we know that the angle that 1 leg makes (with it's base) has to be equal to the other leg. The normal force on a circle surface goes through it's origin (like a radius line). Thus we know the r axis is the mechanical arm, we know that the normal force is with the radius line and we know that the arm, the radius line and the ground create a isosceles triangle (with the mechanical arm as the base) so the angles between the ground and the arm (which is 30 degrees) has to be the same angle the mechanical arm and the radius line creates. Just draw the triangle if you cannot follow the explanation.

[@pnwtutoring]

In this problem, to figure out where is the normal force, we draw a circle its radius is 600 mm. The point C is on the circle. We all knew that the tangent line at any points on the circle will be perpendicular to the radius. So in this problem, the normal force is along a radius connecting the center and point C.( point C is also the intersection of the radial axis and a circle ). From the figure we will see the angle between the radial axis and the normal force = 30 o.

[@kc9487]

in 6:41, why do we assume the r and theta axis in the opposite that we are accustomed to (+ right axis and + top axis)? and why did we not change the sign of the accelerations obtained? can you explain how will we know the directions of the accelerations?

[@QuestionSolutions]

You can, not just for these problems, but for any problem, assign the directions of positive and negative for any given axis. It's completely up to you. A really simple and general example would be when you have forces all pointing in the "negative" y-axis. In that case, it's beneficial to use down as positive so you deal with less negative signs. You will end up with the same answer, regardless of what you pick, but sometimes, it does make the math easier. You can also orient the axes anyway you like, it doesn't have to be straight up and down, you can rotate them as well, as long as it's 90 degrees between the axis lines. I would also like to point out that in the problem you're referring to, we are looking straight down as well. So imagine you're on top of this system and looking downwards.

[@kc9487]

my point is, the acceleration is negative. how do we know the direction? why did we not remove the negative sign?

[@QuestionSolutions]

@@kc9487 I think you are misunderstanding what this negative sign is indicating. Imagine you're in a car and you are driving to the right at 60km/s. You gently press on your break peddle and the car starts to decelerate. Does the direction of the car change? No, right? It's still going to the right. So you have a negative acceleration, but your velocity is still to the right and positive. So when you solve questions, we can't just remove negative signs, we follow through with it until we get to the end. So in this problem, this arm is rotating in the direction shown with the arrow, but it's slowing down.

[@Mohamed-pj7sx]

Don't get the difference between the tangent line and the transverse coordinate at 6:10. So, we draw the transverse coordinate perpendicular to the radial, but how did you come up the tangent line at 6:12?

I cant solve dynamics problems.What can i do.I know concepts but cant solve.😢

[@QuestionSolutions]

That's a really vague question. First, why can't you solve dynamics problems? If you know the concepts, where are you getting stuck? I encourage you to try out the problems I solve in these videos. First, try it yourself, when you get stuck, see what steps are taken next in the video. That can maybe help you out. The only way to get better at solving problems is to really bite down and do as many as you can. Create a schedule where you allocate certain amounts of time to each course you take. So 1 hour for course one, 1.5 hours for dynamics, etc. Give more time for courses that you struggle most with. Then do as many questions as you can, over and over during that time period. This usually helps students get a good idea on how to go about solving a question.

[@AverageNeighbor]

Two questions: one is from example 2 @ 7:50 you said the force is neg bc its coming from the bottom, what dose that mean, since the F in the FBD is pointing towards the particles motion? Example 3 @ 8:54 when taking the 2nd and 3rd time derivative of r, why not use the product rule, I watched the video on time der. and it looked like the product rule is only used when sin and cos are in the term?

[@QuestionSolutions]

Thank you so much for the timestamps, makes things so much easier. So first question. Notice how we assumed that the force would be coming from the top in the FBD (the red arrow). Now we got a negative value, so that means instead of it coming down, it's actually pointing upwards. So the red arrow would be facing upwards, and be applied from the bottom of the cylinder. For the 2nd question, product rule is used whenever 2 functions are being multiplied together. In this problem, the 0.75 is a constant, so all we have is one single function. When you do normal derivatives, we don't really care about the integer in front right? So like the derivative of 2x^2 = 2(2)x = 4x. So we leave the 2 alone, and then at the end, we just make it look nice by multiplying it out. The same here. I just want to be very clear, the product rule is used whenever we have 2 functions being multiplied, not just in cases of sine and cosine. Going a bit deeper with this example, we have r = 0.75z, we take the derivative with respect to time. We get ṙ = 0.75 (dz/dt), then we take the derivative again, so we ignore the 0.75, and just care about the (dz/dt) giving 0.75 (d^2z/dt^2). Again, this is not 2 functions, but just a constant multiplying a function. 👍

[@matteobekink9939]

These videos are really nice . I have a question though . At 7:19 the normal force is included into the FBD following the idea that its normal to the tangent line. But then the force F is included in the direction of theta. Why is it that we dont always assume there is a force parralel and one perpendicular to the tangent line rather than making conclusions based on the structure? If I was to assume the first , would it be ok or is that incorrect ?

[@QuestionSolutions]

Well, let's say for the discussion's sake, the force is parallel to the tangent line. If we look at how that force would be applied, it doesn't make much sense right? Just by looking at how this pin sits in the slot and where contact occurs, it's not possible for the force to be parallel. It has to come straight down at the location shown on the diagram. Also, note that this is a top down view so it might be a bit hard to see. Let's switch to a simple box. Imagine a box sitting on an inclined plane, and I am pushing this box from the side of the inclined plane but at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the incline. Is it right to assume that the force is parallel to the incline? No, right? The force is independent. But now what about the normal force? That's going to be perpendicular to the inclined plane. Another force that behaves similar is weight. It doesn't matter about the incline, that force will always point down (along y-axis). I can put the box on a 45 degree incline, a 30 degree incline, doesn't matter, the weight is straight down and the normal force is always perpendicular to the plane. So just like that, the normal force in this question is perpendicular to the tangent line. Force applied is independent because we can push our box from any direction we want, at any angle we want.

why on example 3, is there no Normal force acting on the car??

[@QuestionSolutions]

We didn't use a coordinate system that contained the normal axis, we used the z-axis instead.

[@Mechomittencaterpillar]

so for the second example, if the force is pointed upwards, why isn't there another force that pushes the cylinder in the COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction, since the force you calculated turns out to push the cylinder around the clockwise direction?

[@QuestionSolutions]

I don't think I understand your question. Which other force will push it counterclockwise? Remember that it's looking at an instantaneous point of time. At that instant, so when theta is 180 degrees, we find that the force is upwards, rather than down. This changes based on where the cylinder is in the slot. There aren't any other forces to consider, you can think of friction, but we aren't given values to solve for it.

[@Mechomittencaterpillar]

@@QuestionSolutions oh ok, I was wondering since I thought that the rod was continuing to push the cylinder around in a counterclockwise direction. Could it be that this force is causing the cylinder to slow down?

[@QuestionSolutions]

@@Mechomittencaterpillar That would make the most sense, especially since we are looking at it at 180 degrees. :)

[@Furfur-rj2tw]

@@QuestionSolutions thanks for replying! , My problem is with the normal force at 4:12 Like shouldn't there be two normal forces one with the rod and the other with the surface ? And how did you determine the angle to be 30? Is the normal force parallel with radial line? And if it's perpendicular to the tangent line what is the relation between the tangent line and the radial and transverse line ?

[@QuestionSolutions]

@@Furfur-rj2tw To answer your first question, no, there is one normal force. Imagine you have a box on the floor and you push the box with your hand, (you apply a force from the left). Where do we draw the normal force? Straight upwards, right? That's where the box contacts the floor. In the same way, here, the rod simply applies a force that pushes the cylinder along the surface. So the normal force is tangent to the surface. For the second part of your question, no, the normal force is not parallel to the radial line. It is tangent to the surface, and it's 30 degrees below the radial line. We are given the angle in the question (it's the angle that's created with respect to the x-axis and the radial axis), you can draw out the normal force tangent to the surface, and with a bit of geometry, you will see that it's 30 degrees (if you want to prove it). To answer the third question, I am unsure of which tangent like you are referring to? Keep in mind that the normal force will always be perpendicular to surface of contact. Also, please take a look at the previous video with the x, y, z coordinates as well, as that builds on some of the stuff that is used in this chapter. Let me know if that clears up some stuff. Thanks!

[@Furfur-rj2tw]

@@QuestionSolutions Thanks for replying again ! I appreciate you giving me some of your time. What I was trying to say about the tangent line is that , we know that the normal force is perpendicular to the tangent line , so if we were to draw a tangent line in the F.B.D where would it cross? It's obviously not going to be perpendicular to the radial line , I would imagine it a little tilted so basically my question is If I were to draw the tangent line in the question @ 4:12 what shall I draw it with respect to or how to draw it basically?

when we take weight into account? for example in 2nd question weight wasn't included in the solution. that also happens in 12th edition dynamics hibbler book, example 13.10 & 13.12

[@QuestionSolutions]

Usually, in cases where we consider the collective forces in a certain axis, instead of individual ones, are places where weight doesn't need to be shown. It also depends on the axes we use, so if weight is "through" the page/plane, we don't need to draw it, or in other examples, cases with the z axis, will have weight. It depends on the question, and you usually gain a "feel" for when and when not to generalize forces by doing a few questions. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If you used radians, you should get -1.26, which then converted to degrees will still give you -72.34 degrees. Please double check.
