1l Q1. Determine the coordinates of the mass center of the body constructed of steel plate and a steel rod. The plate thickness is 2 mm. The rod diameter is4 mm and its length is 50 mm. The origin O is at the mid-thickness of the plate, and the rod is welded to the face of the plate. What is the mass of the body? Determine mass moment of inertia with respect to x, y, and z. Ans. X=1.845mm, Y=0, Z=6.02mm, m=0.0693kg]T 2 40 mm 50 mm 20 mmSolution
we have the density, so we need first the volume
the volume of the semi plate is:
the volume of the rectangle below= 20x(40+40)x2= 3200 mm^3
the volume of the semi circle= (1/2)xpix(40^2)x2=5026.55 mm^3
so this volume is 3200+5026.55= 8226.55 mm^3
now the volume of the rod is
volume of the rod= 50xpix(4/2)^2 = 628.319 mm^3
now using the denity we can know the mass of the 2 bodys
mass semi circle with rectangle= 7830 (kg/m^3) x (8226.55 mm^3 / 1000^3) = 0.064414 kg
mass of the rod= 7830 x 628.319 / 1000^3 = 0.00492 kg
the total mass is
0.064414+0.00492= 0.069334 kg
know the center of mass is
starting in the point O
using this equation
r=(1/2)(m1r1 +r2m2 ) / (m1+m2) where m1 is the mass of body 1 and m2 is the mass of body 2 and r1 is the center of inertia of one and r2 for 2
FOR x
rx=(1/2) ((25x 0.00492)+(0.064414 x2)/(0.064414+0.00492))=1.81605 mm
FOR y
ry=0
because all the center of inertia of the semi circle, the rectangle and the rod are in hte point O in the center
FOR z
the center of inertia for the rod is 0, so we divided the body 1 in the semi circle and the rectangle to know the center of inertia of all the body
mass of semi circle=5026.55 x (7830/1000^3)= 0.039358 kg
mass of rectangle=3200 x (7830/1000^3) =0.025056 kg
RCircle=4R/3pi = 4x40/3x3.1416 = 16.9765 mm
ry=(1/2)(0.039358x16.9765 + 0.025056x10) / (0.039358+0.025056) = 7.16168 mm aprox, maybe the decimals but the answer is very close
good luck
