Overview
I have attached a drawing that has all the dimensional information that you will need to complete the assignment.
Do the following:
- Create the three parts: Pendulum bar, round weight, and square weight. Make sure to assign the material to each part. The units must be in inches.
- Create two assemblies: Pendulum 1 and Pendulum 2. Make sure you add a coordinate system at the location shown on the drawing.
- For each pendulum assembly:
- Determine the total mass units of pounds (to 4 decimal places)
- Determine the Mass Moment of Inertia about the coordinate system defined in the drawing. Units pounds*in^2 (to 4 decimal places)
You will submit the mass and Moment of Inertia for each pendulum. You can do this by including a screen capture of the Mass Properties for each Pendulum assembly (total of two) and include the screenshots in the PDF file with the other assignments. Please capture the Mass Properties window and the Pendulum Assembly view next to the Mass Properties window (example show)
Note: Under the Mass Properties, you can click on the Options button (on the rights side of the window), this will allow you to set the proper units and set the number of decimal places.
