Problem 19-1
The rigid body (slab) has a mass m and is rotating with an angular velocity ω about an axis passing
through the fixed point O. Show that the momenta of all the particles composing the body can be
represented by a single vector having a magnitude mvG and acting through point P, called the center
of percussion, which lies at a distance rPG = k2
G / rGO from the mass center G. Here kG is the radius
of gyration of the body, computed about an axis perpendicular to the plane of motion and passing
through G.

Problem 19-2
At a given instant, the body has a linear momentum L = mvG and
an angular momentum HG = IGω computed about its mass center.
Show that the angular momentum of the body computed about
the instantaneous center of zero velocity IC can be expressed as
HIC = IICω where IIC represents the body’s moment of inertia
computed about the instantaneous axis of zero velocity. As
shown, the IC is located at a distance rGIC away from the mass
center G.

Problem 19-3
Show that if a slab is rotating about a fixed axis perpendicular to the slab
and passing through its mass center G, the angular momentum is the
same when computed about any other point P on the slab.
Solution:
Since vG = 0, the linear momentum L = mvG = 0. Hence the angular
momentum about any point P is
HP
IGω
=
Since ω is a free vector , so is HP.

Problem 19-46
A horizontal circular platform has a
weight W1 and a radius of gyration kz
about the z axis passing through its center
O. The platform is free to rotate about the
z axis and is initially at rest. A man having
a weight W2 begins to run along the edge
in a circular path of radius r. If he has a
speed v and maintains this speed relative
to the platform, determine the angular
velocity of the platform. Neglect friction.

Two children A and B, each having a mass M1, sit
at the edge of the merry-go-round which is rotating
with angular velocity ω. Excluding the children, the
merry-go-round has a mass M2 and a radius of
gyration kz. Determine the angular velocity of the
merry-go-round if A jumps off horizontally in
the −n direction with a speed v, measured with
respect to the merry-go-round.What is the
merry-go-round’s angular velocity if B then jumps
off horizontally in the +t direction with a speed v,
measured with respect to the merry-go-round?
Neglect friction and the size of each child.
