The 50 lb wheel (r = 1.25’) sits at rest on the ground and has a radius of gyration k
G = 0.70 ft. If a CW moment of 35 lb-ft is applied to the wheel, determine the acceleration of its mass center G. μ
S = 0.3 and μ
K = 0.25. ‘A’ is the wheel’s point of contact with the ground. Does the wheel slip as it rolls?
Answer: 8.05ft/s
