Best videos on dynamics EVER! This is how i studied for dynamics 1. Read the chapter and take notes 2. Try some fundamental problems 3. Watch your video and try all problems before seeing solution 4. Do ALL fundamental problems from textbook WITH EASE 5. Get A's on every test...... Any desire to do hydromechanics?

for 3:36 how did you find the 45 degree angle was that just tan inverse.

So normal and tangential components are always perpendicular to each other. In other words, it creates a 90 degree angle between them. Here, we just have it bisected, so you end up with 45 degrees on each side.

for problems on finding the angular acceleration, how can you determine the appropriate approach in solving for either translational or centroidal (like in this video)?

[@QuestionSolutions]

Usually, you can approach these questions in multiple ways. When you do enough questions, you sort of get a feel for the way you should go at it, and if you're wrong, or you get stuck, you can always backtrack and do a different method.

[@arc5578]

at 4:30 our rotation occurs at pin A right not at the center of gravity of the plate ? why don't we use parallel axis theorem for our right hand side of the equation

[@QuestionSolutions]

Where it rotates doesn't matter to us. Parallel axis theorem is used when we find the mass moment of inertia about a different point other than the center of mass. So if we found the mass moment of inertia about point A for the plate, then we would need to use the parallel axis theorem. Here, we are finding it about the center of mass.

[@jbs966]

5:43 you can't add I(G) for the summation of moments about A. Don't you need to use parallel-axis theorem and convert to I(A) before adding?

[@TheSpokenBanana]

Hey, thanks for the clear explanations! I'm not sure how quick I'll get a reply here, but for the problem at 6:47, are the accelerations at both block A and B still the same if the pulley at O is made of two different plates, both with different masses and radiuses? For example, in the problem I have, the pulley is set up the way as I described and block A is tied to the plate with the bigger radius and mass, and block B is tied to the one with the smaller radius and size.

[@QuestionSolutions]

So it depends on how many cable there are. Please see this video first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6bHgYN9frtoh68 If you still have questions, let me know, thanks!

[@TheSpokenBanana]

@@QuestionSolutions Thanks for the quick reply! The video you linked isn't exactly my type of problem though, the pulleys aren't spread out, the pulleys are at the same location, O. There's still only one cable. Would this mean they are still different accelerations? I tried solving the problem myself and got that block A, which is tied to the pulley with the greater mass and radius has a higher acceleration than Block B, which is tied to the pulley with the smaller mass and radius. I should mention too that Block A has a smaller mass than block B, so block B is accelerating down and block A is accelerating upwards. Again, thank you for the quick reply! Your videos are immensely helpful!

I dont understand the equation that you put in 8:06. What does mean that "5a * 0,15 + 10a * 0,15 + I * (a/15)"? where does that formula come from? Thanks!

[@QuestionSolutions]

So you're talking about the other side of the equation. For that, you're looking at the kinetic diagram. We have 2 mass times accelerations, one for block A and one for block B, both with create a moment. So it's just mass times acceleration of each block times the perpendicular distance to the pulley. We also have the moment about point O of the pulley, which is just the mass moment of inertia times and angular acceleration (this is shown in pink on the diagram). So all of this is a moment equation. The left side based on the free body diagram, and the right side is using the kinetic equation.

[@tarekhirmas218]

Question Solutions when you talk about moment? What moment are you talking about? Angular momentum? Im a little bit lost

[@QuestionSolutions]

​@@tarekhirmas218 Simply the moment about the center of mass. Momentum is completely different so don't confuse the two :) A moment is force times perpendicular distance, it should have been covered in the statics class before dynamics. Sometimes, a moment is also called torque. Please see: simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(physics)#:~:text=In%20physics%2C%20moment%20of%20force,rotation%2C%20plays%20an%20important%20role.

at 4:53 I would love if there was a line of text relating the (M_k_)_A_ part to the (24)(0.3535alpha)(0.3535)+1alpha I feel like there's a line there that could be showing it, from the KE, but I'm struggling to find where the numbers came from.

[@ROTSTarge]

or.. I could keep watching X3 heck. Maybe flip it so the explanation comes first. Having the symbological equation under it would help. I'm slowly piecing together where the second r comes from.

[@QuestionSolutions]

@@ROTSTarge I am not sure I understand what you are asking 😅 I go over where all the numbers come from right after I show the equation. Which part are you confused about? The second r is simply the perpendicular distance from point A, so the place where rotation occurs to the center of mass. If I explained everything first, without writing anything down, most students will not understand. Most of the time, it's easier to follow once you see the numbers on screen, rather than looking at a white screen while an explanation is going on. Let me know which part is confusing, and I'll do my best to help.

8:03 The formula for the kinetic diagram has the accelerations for both cylinders as positive. Why is one of them not negative if they are accelerating in opposite directions? Btw Thank you for all your videos, I couldn’t pass this class without you!

[@QuestionSolutions]

Here, we are looking at the moment created by the 2 accelerations. Both create clockwise moments, and we picked clockwise to be positive, so they are both positive values.

[@QuestionSolutions]

[@khalednazeer9269]

For question number 2, because we are using the point at the center of the pulley, wouldnt the moment only equal I*(angular acceleration), or is incorporating ma a different method

[@QuestionSolutions]

If I understand you correct, you are saying that there is only one moment and that's about the center which equals Iα? However, we have 2 weights attached to the pully. Each will create a moment about the center. So you have to make sure to keep the perpendicular distances to point O from each weight in mind, so in this case, that's 0.15 m.

[@Dc-jm5jk]

This might be a simple question but for the last exercise, I first attempted to solve it by myself with the n-t coordinate system, but then realized the x-y system should be used. I was just confused because the procedure for analysis for the book also tells us to establish the n-t coordinate system in this chapter. Are there any simple ways to identify which coordinate system should be used?

[@QuestionSolutions]

How did you establish the n-t coordinate system for the last question? Usually, you have a pretty good idea of what type coordinate system to use based on what the question is asking and the information provided. I think it comes naturally after you do a few questions.

Hello sir, should I use kinetic diagram for every problem?

[@QuestionSolutions]

It really depends on the question. For example, if you're using relative motion or instantaneous center of zero velocity, then there is no need for a kinetic diagram. But if you need to solve the problem using multiple equations, you need a kinetic diagram.

[@HashemAljifri515]

@@QuestionSolutions Well, I prefer using relative velocity equation. By the way, I'm seriously struggling in this chapter although got relatively a good score dynamics midterm but currently rigid bodies' chapters are extremely exhausting.

Hi sir, why didn't Ax component and Ay component be drawn in the free body diagram at point A in the third question at 9.20 ? It is because Fab is the resultant force of component Ax and Ay aldy? Same for point B also?

[@QuestionSolutions]

That is correct, Fab is the resultant force, so the math is easier to keep it that way instead of breaking it into components. It's actually a 2 force member. 👍

[@abdallahamouda6633]

hi Sir I have a question why is the force pointing to A I know that if I would make a free body diagram of the wheel I would have in position B two reactions in x und y-direction but these reactions created from the pin are constraining reactions so I could draw them in any direction

[@QuestionSolutions]

If you draw a free body diagram and drew out the components of the forces at the pin, you'd have an x-component and a y-component. The force that goes towards A is the resultant of those 2 components. I understand what you are saying, that you can actually assume any direction for your reactions, however, with a bit of intuition, you can make a very educated guess that the resultant force has to be towards point A. I think that comes from doing a lot of questions, and mostly from your statics class, where this should have been covered. In order for this wheel to be attached and held in place, rod AB has to support it, so that's how you can assume that force AB has to be from B to A. I hope that makes sense :)

[@nikkisharp1559]

hi! I had a question regarding the coordinate axes. For the kinetics of particles (translation), when choosing the positive coordinate system, when we solved problems we would need to set the acceleration in the positive direction no matter what. Even if it was known to be going in the negative direction, if we set the equation up as so, the answer would be wrong. Indeed, the math would only work if we put the acc in the positive. However, i was wondering if it is the same case for rigid bodies (translation, rotation, gpm). Do we necessarily need to put the acc in the positive direction that we set it as, or can we put the acc in the negative direction (if it is known to be going in the negative direction) and still get the correct answer? For example, if we did not know where it was going, we could put it in either direction and it would give a positive if guessed correctly and negative if guessed wrong. Thank you for your help!!

[@QuestionSolutions]

I am unsure of your question. When you say for kinetics of a particle, we always pick a positive coordinate system, and you get the wrong answer otherwise, this isn't true. For example, if we take projectile motion of a particle, and we assumed up to be positive, and gravity was affecting the particle, the gravity there is negative. Is that what you mean or maybe I am not following your question too well 😅 For rigid bodies, you can pick whatever side you want to be positive. So if you have a rigid object with forces facing to the left, you can still pick right to be positive. So if all the forces are facing right, the acceleration would also be to the right, and you will still get the correct answer. The mistake students make is choosing a positive side and then switching that side halfway through the question. If you stick to the side you picked to be positive, for the whole duration of the question, even through multiple substitutions, you will end up with the same answer, because at the end, all we are doing is assuming a positive direction. I hope that makes sense. If your question is asking for something different, please give me an example or a follow up question so I can better answer you :)
