Attached to each end of a thin steel rod of length1.20m and mass6.40kg is a small ball of mass1.06kg . The rod is constrained to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its midpoint. At a certain instant, it is rotating at 39.0rev/s. Because of friction, it slows to a stop in32.0s .Assuming a constant retarding torque due to friction, compute

(a) the angular acceleration,

(b) the retarding torque,

(c) the total energy transferred from mechanical energy to thermal energy by friction, and

(d) the number of revolutions rotated during the32.0s .

(e) Now suppose that the retarding torque is known not to be constant. If any of the quantities (a), (b), (c), and (d) can still be computed without additional information, give its value.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The lengthof road1.20m

Mass of the rod M=6.40kg

Mass of the ballm=1.06kg

The initial angular velocityÓ¬0=39.0rev/s

Time to come to rest t=32.0s

02

Understanding the concept of angular velocity and displacement

Constant angular acceleration kinematics can be used to compute the angular acceleration

Formula:

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αt

03

Calculation of theangular acceleration

(a)

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtUsing this equation,Ӭ=0

α=Ӭ0t=39.0rev/s32.0s=-1.22rev/s2=-7.66rad/s2

04

Calculation of theretarding torque

(b)

τ=lα,τ is the torque and Iis the rotational inertia. The contribution of the rod to

l=Mℓ212, l is the length and M being mass of the rod. The contribution of each ball is=m ℓ   2 2where, m is the mass of the ball. The total rotational inertia is

l=Mâ„“212+2mâ„“24=6.40kg1.20m212+21.06kg1.20m24=1.53kg.m2

τ=lα=1.53kg.m2-7.66rad/s2=-11.7N.m

The retarding torque is -11.7N.m

05

 Calculation of thetotal energy transferred from mechanical energy to thermal energy by friction

(c)

Ki=12I (Ӭ0)2=121.53kg.m22π× (39rad/s)2=4.59×104J

Thetotal energy transferred from mechanical energy to thermal energy by frictionis 4.59×104J

06

Calculation of the number of revolutions rotated during the  32.0 s.

(d)

θ=Ӭ0t+12αt2=2π(39 rad/s)×(32.0sec)+12(-7.66 rad/s2)×(32.0 s)2=3920rad=624 rev

The number of revolutions rotated during the 32.0sis624 rev

(e) Explanation

Only the mechanical energy that is converted to the thermal energy can still be computed without additional information.It is 4.59×104Jno matter howvaries with time, as longs as the system comes to rest.
