Greek engineers had the unenviable task of moving large columns from the quarries to the city. One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4-ft diameter column weighs 12,000 lbs, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500 lbs on the center of the cylinder G. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the minimum static coefficient of friction that will keep it from slipping.
16.77 A uniform slender rod of weight 0.24 lb/ft is used to form the
assembly shown. The assembly rotates clockwise at a constant rate of
under the combined effect of gravity and the couple M which varies
in magnitude and sense. Determine the magnitude and sense of the couple
M and the reaction at point A for (a) 0 = 90°, (b) 0 = 180°.

The double pulley shown has a weight of 35.0 lb and a centroidal radius of gyration
of 5.0 in. Cylinder A (25.0 lb) and block B (16 lb) are attached to cords that wrap
around pulleys in the manner shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between
block B and the surface is 0.25. Knowing that the system is released from rest at
the position shown (h = 4 ft), determine the velocity of cylinder A when it strikes the
