(a) If R=12 c³¾ ,M=400 g , andm=50 g in Fig.10−19 , find the speed of the block after it has descended50 c³¾ starting from rest. Solve the problem using energy conservation principles.

(b) Repeat (a) with R=5.0 c³¾.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The speed of the block ifR=12 c³¾is,1.4″¾/s .
  2. The speed of the block is, 1.4″¾/s.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

R=12 c³¾=0.12″¾

M=400 g=0.4 k²µ

m=50 g=0.05 k²µ

y=50 c³¾=0.5″¾

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

You can write the expression for tension by applying Newton’s second law to the given system and torque on the system. Equating them, you will get the acceleration of the block. Then using the law of conservation of energy, you will get an expression for speed. Inserting values in it, you can get thespeed of the block ifR=12 c³¾ and ifR=5 c³¾ All the formulas used are given below

Fnet=maÏ„=±õαEi=Ef

03

(a) Calculation for the speed of the block after it has descended 50 cm  starting from rest

Applying Newton’s second law to the given system, we get

Fnet=maT−mg=ma

T=mg+ma …(1)

The torque on the pulley is

τ=−TR

(Negative sign indicates thatthepulley is rotating in a clockwise direction from rest.)

Also,

Ï„=±õα−TR=12MR2α

But,

α=ar

T=−12Ma …(2)

Equating (1) and (2), we get

mg+ma=−12Mama+12Ma=−mgm+12Ma=−mga=−mgm+12M

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

a=−(0.05 k²µ)(9.8″¾/s2)0.05 k²µ+(0.5)×0.4 k²µ=−1.96″¾/s2

Magnitude of the acceleration is, a=1.96″¾/s2

According to the conservation of energy,

Ei=Ef

In this case,

may=12mv2ay=12v2v=2ay=2(1.96″¾/s2)(0.5″¾)=1.4″¾/s

Therefore, the speed of the block if R=12 c³¾ is,1.4″¾/s .

04

(b) Calculation for the speed of the block after it has descended 50 cm  starting from rest with R= 5.0 cm. 

Sincethespeed of the block is independent of R, the speed will bethesame if R=5cm.

Therefore, the speed of the block is, 1.4″¾/s.
