Question:

The sheet-metal component shown is of uniform thickness and has a mass of 600 g. It is attached to a light axle supported by bearings at A and B located 150 mm apart. The component is at rest when it is subjected to a couple M0 as shown. If the resulting angular acceleration is α = (12 rad/s2)k, determine

(a) The couple M0,

(b) The dynamic reactions at A and B immediately after the couple has been applied.
