Note,
you may need to include kinematics to relate the linear and angular
velocities involved in the motions of
one or more bodies that contribute to the total kinetic energy.
Total Kinetic Energy: T
= ˝ mvc2 + ˝ Iczz
ω2 (ft lb or N m)
where ˝ mvc2 = kinetic energy of the center of mass of
each body; vc
= speed of mass center
˝ Iczz
ω2 = kinetic energy of rotation for each
body; ω = angular speed of body
m =
mass of body Iczz =
mass moment of inertia about the bodies center of mass
Work done by a spring W1-2 = ˝ k ( di2
– df2) (ft
lb or N m)
where k = spring constant, (lb/ft, N/m) di
= the initial extension of the spring, (ft, m) and
df = the final extension of the spring (ft,
m)
