Sep 30, 2018 at 0:46 comment added John Alexiou Point A is the point the force is going through.
Sep 29, 2018 at 14:29 comment added bobie The point that has 7/4 ratio $v_A/v_{com}$ is at ca. 3.82 distance from the com, is that what you mean by point A?
Sep 26, 2018 at 15:21 comment added John Alexiou @bobie - $7/4$ is the ratio of how much more velocity point A has compared to the center of mass due to the rotation of the body.
Sep 26, 2018 at 15:15 comment added bobie Could you please say in plain English how the value of 7/4 relates to angular motion?

May 25, 2015 at 7:51 comment added user77485 $m' = m_{rod} \frac{I_{rod}}{I_{rod}+m_{rod} r^2}$ => $m' = m \frac{ms^2/12}{ms^2/12+m a^2}$ => $m' = m \frac{s^2/12}{s^2/12+ a^2}$ => $m' = m \frac{s^2}{12a^2 +s^2}$ => $m'/m = \frac{100}{175}=\frac{4}{7} ; m/m'= \frac{12a^2 +s^2} {s^2}=\frac{7}{4} $; here you ignore own precepts, use lengthy derivation, get same simple result, and misinterpret it: $ \dfrac{a+\frac{s^2}{12 a}}{\frac{s^2}{12 a}} = \frac{12a^2+s^2}{12a}* \frac{12 a}{s^2} = \frac{12a^2 +s^2} {s^2}= \frac{175}{100}= m/m' = v_{m'}/v_{cm}=\frac{7}{4} $
May 25, 2015 at 6:32 comment added user77485 Whatever op wants (if he knows) this answer is wrong: your equation is just the ratio between m and your m' which relates 2 linear v (quantities?), virtual $v_{m'}$ (which op ignores) and real $v_{cm}$

May 18, 2015 at 15:32 comment added John Alexiou Actually the op doesn't want a ratio of velocities. The op wants a single (fundamental) equation relating linear and angular quantities.
May 18, 2015 at 13:20 comment added John Alexiou You suppose. I still don't know, velocity at which point? Is the velocity of the force application point important to the op? Is the center of rotation point important to the op. If you have a particular situation you have doubts about you can ask your own question so that others have a chance or respond. Note that you shouldn't ask a "Check my work" question, rather you should ask a "How do I approach this situation/concept".
May 17, 2015 at 22:49 comment added John Alexiou Are you looking at the same thing exactly? The op question was not clear of what ratio was requested.
