To understand the concept

Here, the problem is based on the concept of rotational mechanics and static frictional force due to the rolling of the object along the length of the string. Thus, the force acting on the body is considered to be acting on the center of mass of the system to initiate a linear acceleration of the body that in turn, gives the translational and rotational motion along the string due to its displacement.

Formulae:

The acceleration of the center of mass,

acom=-g1+lcomMR02

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity, lcom is the moment of inertia of the center of mass, R0 is the mass of the body, M is the radius of the body.

The distance travelled by the body according second law of kinematics,

ycom=v0t+12acomt2

Where, v0 is the initial velocity, t is the time taken, acom is the acceleration of the center of mass.

The final velocity of the center of mass according to first law of kinematics,

vcom=v0+acomt

Where, v0 is the initial velocity, t is the time taken, acom is the acceleration of the center of mass.

The angular velocity of the body,

Ó¬=vcomR0

Where, vcom is the velocity of the center of mass, R0 is the radius of the circular path.

The translational kinetic energy of the body,

role="math" localid="1661230662609" Ktrans=12Mv2com

Where, M is the mass of the body, vcom is the velocity of center of mass.

The rotational kinetic energy of the body,

Krot=12lcomÓ¬2

Where, lcom is the moment of inertia of the center of mass, Ó¬is the angular velocity of the body.

(a) Determining the magnitude of linear acceleration

Referring to figure,

fs-Mgsinθ=Ma

Consider torque caused by localid="1661230914054" FN,FNsinθandfsabout an axis passing through the center of mass of the sphere.

We have, torque caused by FNandFgsinθas zero because these forces are acting at the center of mass of the sphere and so the position vector would be zero.

Therefore,

τ=lcomαRfs=lcomαfs=lcomαRα=-aR

Negative sign arises because of the fact that the acceleration is along the negative x-axis

fs=-lcomaR2

Therefore,

-lcomaR2-Mgsinθ=Ma-Mgsinθ=Ma+lcomaR2-Mgsinθ=aMR2+lcomR2a=MgsinθMlcomMR2

So for θ=90o, we have

acom=-g1+lcomMR02=-980cm/s21+950g-cm2120g0.32cm2=-12.5cm/s2

Magnitude of acceleration is 12.5cm/s2.

04

(b) Determining the time to reach the end of string

ycom=v0t+12acomt2

We take origin at initial position and initial velocity as zero.

120cm=0+1212.5cm/s2t2t=2120cm12.5cm/s2=4.38sec

05

(c) Determining the linear speed at end of string

vcom=v0+acomt=0+-12.5cm/s24.38s=-54.8cm/s

Magnitude of linear velocity is

vcom=54.8cm/s

06

(d) Determining the translational kinetic energy

Ktrans=120.120kg0.548m/s2=1.8×10-2J

07

(e) Determining the rotational kinetic energy

For this calculation, we need to find the angular velocity, whichis givenas,

Ó¬=VcomR0

Rotational kinetic energy is given as,

Krot=12lcomӬ2=129.50×10-5kgm20.548m/s3.2×10-3m=1.4J

08

(f) Determining the angular speed

Ӭ=vcomR0=0.548m/s3.2×10-3m=1.7×102rad/sec
