The spool has a mass of \(40 \mathrm{~kg}\) and a radius of gyration of \(k_{O}=0.3 \mathrm{~m}\). If the \(10-\mathrm{kg}\) block is released from rest, determine the distance the block must fall in order for the spool to have an angular velocity \(\omega=15 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\). Also, what is the tension in the cord while the block is in motion? Neglect the mass of the cord.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The block must fall approximately 5.73 m for the spool to reach an angular velocity of 15 rad/s. The tension in the cord while the block is in motion is about 57.19 N.

Step by step solution

01

Define variables

Let's define:- Initial Kinetic Energy \(KE_{i}\) as 0, because the block starts from rest.- Final Kinetic Energy \(KE_{f}\) equals the kinetic energy of the falling block plus the kinetic energy of the rotating spool.- Potential Energy \(PE\) equals the weight of the block times the height \(h\) it has fallen.- The total energy at the start and at the end remains the same because no external work is done on the system.
02

Apply the Principle of Conservation of Energy

We equate the total initial energy \(KE_{i} + PE_{i}\) with the final energy \(KE_{f} + PE_{f}\):\[0 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}Ik\omega^2\]The term \(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) is the kinetic energy of the falling block and the term \(\frac{1}{2}Ik\omega^2\) is the kinetic energy of the rotating spool.
03

Substitute the given values into the equation

The fallen height is \(h = \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}Ik\omega^2}{mg}\). Here:- \(m = 10kg\) is the mass of the block,- \(v = \omega r\) is the speed of the block (where \(r = 0.3m\) is the radius of the gyration and \(\omega = 15 rad/s\) is the angular velocity),- \(I = mk^2\) is the mass moment of inertia of the spool (where \(m = 40kg\) is the mass of the spool and \(k = 0.3m\) is the radius of gyration),- \(g = 9.81m/s^2\) is the acceleration due to gravity.
04

Calculate the Tension in the cord

The tension \(T\) in the cord can be calculated using Newton’s second law:\[T = m(g − a)\]where,- \(a = rα = r\omega^2/r = \omega^2\), and- \(α = \frac{ \omega^2}{r}\) is the angular acceleration of the block.
05

Substitute the given values into the equation

Substitute \(m = 10kg\), \(\omega = 15 rad/s\) and \(r = 0.3m\) into the equation to find the tension \(T\).
