  1. The constant angular velocity of flywheel of steam engine Ӭ is, 150 revmin.
  2. The air stops the wheel when t is2.2 h.

Concept and Formula used for the question

By using formulas for the angular acceleration α, the kinematic equation θ, the tangential acceleration at,and radial acceleration ar, we can find theconstant angular acceleration, in revolution per minute squared, of the wheel during the slowdown, the number of revolution the wheel makes before stopping, the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a flywheel particle that is 50 cmfrom the axis of rotation, and themagnitude of the net linear acceleration of the particle in (c) respectively.

  1. The angular acceleration is α=ΔӬΔt
  1. The kinematic equation is θ=Ӭ0t+12αt2
  2. The tangential acceleration is at=αr
  3. The radial acceleration is ar=Ó¬2r

(a) Calculation for the constant angular acceleration, in revolutions per minute-squared, of the wheel during the slowdown

Angular acceleration is given by

α=ΔӬΔt

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1660906926211" α=0-150revmin2.2×60 minα=-1.14 revmin2

Hence the value of angular acceleration is, -1.14 revmin2.

04

(b) Calculation for the number of revolutions the wheel makes before stopping

Using kinematic equation with t=2.2×60 min=132 min, we get

θ=Ӭ0t+12αt2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

θ=150revmin×132 min+12×-1.14revmin2×132 min2=9.9×103 rev

Hence the number of revolution is, 9.9×103 rev.

Step 3: (c) Calculation for the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a flywheel particle

With r=500 mm, the tangential acceleration is

at=αr

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1660907996924" at=-1.14 revmin2×2π rad1 rev×1 min60 s2×500 mm=-0.99mm/s2

Hence the magnitude of tangential linear acceleration is, =-0.99mm/s2.

05

(d) Calculation for the magnitude of net linear acceleration of the particle in (c)

The angular speed of the flywheel is

Ӭ=75revmin×2πradrev×1 min60 sӬ=7.85rads

With r=0.50 m, the radial acceleration is given by

ar=Ӭ2r=7.85rads2×0.50 m≈31ms2

which is much bigger than at.

Consequently, the magnitude of acceleration is given by

a→=ar2+at2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

a→=312+-0.992=31ms2≈ar

Hence the magnitude of linear acceleration is, 31 ms2.
