(a) What is the angular speed of the flywheel in radians per second?

(b) What is the linear speed of a point on the rim of the flywheel?

(c) What constant angular acceleration (in revolutions per minute-squared) will increase the wheel’s angular speed to 1000 revminin60.0 s ?

(d) How many revolutions does the wheel make during that60.0 s ?

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

  1. The initial angular speed of the flywheel isÓ¬0=200revmin .
  2. The diameter of flywheel is d=1.20 m.
  3. The final angular speed aftert=60 sis1000revmin.
  4. The time for which the flywheel accelerates t is 60 s.

Concept and Formula used for the given equation

The flywheel exhibits rotational motion about an axis passing through its axel. Hence, we can determine its angular speed, acceleration and linear speed of the points on its rim using rotational kinematic equations which are given as follows.

Ӭ=dθdtv=rӬӬ=Ӭ0+αtθ-θ0=12Ӭ+Ӭ0t

(a) Calculation for the angular speed of the flywheel in radians per second

The initial angular velocity is given in the units of revolution/min. we will change the units to rad/s to gettherequired value.

Ӭ=200revmin=200revmin×2π rad1 rev×1 min60.0 s=6.66πradsӬ=20.9rads

Hence the angular speed is 20.9 rads, .

Step 3: (b) Calculation for thelinear speed of a point on the rim of the flywheel

We are given the diameter of the flywheel, so first we calculate the radius as

r=d2=1.20 m2r=0.60 m

Hence, we calculate linear velocity using the value of angular velocity as

v=rÓ¬

Substitute all the value in the above equation

v=0.60 ³¾Ã—20.9radsv=12.5ms

Hence the linear speed is, 12.5 ms.

(c) Calculation for the constant angular acceleration to increase the wheel’s angular speed

The flywheel accelerates from initial angular speed to final angular speed of1000 revminTo determine the angular acceleration of the flywheel in this duration, we use the rotational kinematic equation.

Since the answer is expected in the units of revmin2 , we use Ӭ0 in the units of and time t=60.0 s=1 min.

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtα=Ӭ-Ӭ0t

Substitute all the value in the above equation

α=1000revmin-200revmin1 minα=800revmin2

Hence the angular acceleration is, .

05

(d) Calculation for the number of revolutions the wheel makes during that 60 s

The number of revolutions in this time interval can be calculated using the rotational kinematic equation.

θ-θ0=12Ӭ+Ӭ0t

We assumen=θ-θ0from start of the interval

We also use the values of initial and final angular speeds in the units of rev/min

Substitute all the value in the above equation

n=121000revmin+200revmin×1 min=600 rev

Hence the number of revolution is, 600 rev.

In Fig.10-41, two blocks, of mass m1=400gandm2=600g, are connected by a massless cord that is wrapped around a uniform disk of massM=500gand radius R=12.0cm. The disk can rotate without friction about a fixed horizontal axis through its centre; the cord cannot slip on the disk. The system is released from rest. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the tension in the cord at the left, and (c) the tensionT2in the cord at the right.

In Fig.10−42 , a cylinder having a mass of2.0 k²µ can rotate about its central axis through pointO . Forces are applied as shown: F1=6.0 N,F2=4.0 N ,F3=2.0 N , andF4=5.0 N . Also,r=5.0 c³¾ andR=12 c³¾ . Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the angular acceleration of the cylinder. (During the rotation, the forces maintain their same angles relative to the cylinder.)

In Fig.10-55, a wheel of radius 0.20mis mounted on a frictionless horizontal axle. A massless cord is wrapped around the wheel and attached to a2.0Kgbox that slides on a frictionless surface inclined at angle θ=20°with the horizontal. The box accelerates down the surface at2.0ms2. What is the rotational inertia of the wheel about the axle?

Between1911and1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of1.2mm/y. The tower is55m tall. In radians per second, what is the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base?

Figure10-48 shows a rigid assembly of a thin hoop (of mass m and radiusR=0.150m) and a thin radial rod (of mass m and lengthL=2.00R). The assembly is upright, but if we give it a slight nudge, it will rotate around a horizontal axis in the plane of the rod and hoop, through the lower end of the rod. Assuming that the energy given to the assembly in such a nudge is negligible, what would be the assembly’s angular speed about the rotation axis when it passes through the upside-down (inverted) orientation?
