A uniform helicopter rotor blade is 7.80mlong, has a mass of110kg , and is attached to the rotor axle by a single bolt. (a) What is the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the axle when the rotor is turning at320rev/min? (Hint: For this calculation the blade can be considered to be a point mass at its center of mass. Why?) (b) Calculate the torque that must be applied to the rotor to bring it to full speed from rest in6.70s . Ignore air resistance. (The blade cannot be considered to be a point mass for this calculation. Why not? Assume the mass distribution of a uniform thin rod.) (c) How much work does the torque do on the blade in order for the blade to reach a speed of 320rev/min?

is4.81×105N

b. The torque that must be applied to the rotor to bring it to full speed from rest in6.70s is1.12×104Nm

c. The amount of work done by the torque on the blade in order for the blade to reach a speed of 320rev/minis1.25×106J

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Length of rotor blader=7.80m
  2. Mass of rotor bladeM=110kg
  3. Angular frequencyÓ¬=320rev/min
  4. Timet=6.70s
02

Understanding the concept

Use the relation between angular velocity and the acceleration into the formula of force to find the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the axle when the rotor is rotating at320rev/min

. Then, use the parallel axis theorem to calculate the inertia. Using this inertia into the formula of torque, find the torque that must be applied to the rotor to bring it to full speed from rest in 6.70s. Use the work energy principle in rotational motion to find the amount of work done by the torque on the blade in order for the blade to reach a speed of320rev/min

Formula:

F=ma

τ=Iα

I=Icom+md2

W=12IÓ¬f2-12IÓ¬i2

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the axle when the rotor is turning at320  rev/min

We have,

F=ma

but,

a=Ó¬2r

As

Ó¬=320revmin1min60sec2Ï€rad1rev=33.49rads

Therefore,

a=33.49rads23.9m

⇒a=4379.47m/s2

So,

F=110kg4379.47ms2

⇒F=4.81×105N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the axel when the rotor is turning at320rev/minis 4.81×105N

04

(b) Calculate the torque that must be applied to the rotor to bring it to full speed from rest in 6.70s

For torque in terms of moment of inertia and angular acceleration,

τ=Iα

But

I=Icom+md2

⇒I=ML212+ML22=ML212+ML24⇒I=ML23⇒I=110kg(7.80m)23⇒I=2230.8kg.m2

And

α=Ӭt=33.49rads9.7s⇒α=4.999rad/s2

Therefore,

τ=2230.8kg.m24.999rads2⇒τ=1.12×104NM

Therefore, the torque that must be applied to the rotor to bring it to full speed from rest in6.70s is1.12×104N.m

05

(c) Calculate how much work the torque does on the blade in order for the blade to reach a speed of 320  rev/min 

According to the work-energy principle for rotational motion work done is

W=12IӬf2-12IӬi2⇒W=122230.8kg.m233.49rads2-122230.8kg.m20rads2⇒W=1.25×106J-0J⇒W=1.25×106J

Therefore, the amount of work done by the torque on the blade in order for the blade to reach a speed of 320rev/minis1.25×106J

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.

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?

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent’s left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. Figure 10−44shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point O. The gravitational force F→g on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distanced=28 c³¾ from point O. His mass is 70Kg, and his rotational inertia about point O is 65 k²µ.³¾2.What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point O if your pull F→a on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300Nand applied at height h=1.4″¾ ?

The thin uniform rod in Fig. 10-53has length 2.0mand can pivot about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. It is released from rest at angleθ=40°above the horizontal. Use the principle of conservation of energy to determine the angular speed of the rod as it passes through the horizontal position.

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam. We receive a radio pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is found by measuring the time between pulses. The pulsar in the Crab nebula has a period of rotation of T=0.033 s that is increasing at the rate of 1.26×10−5 s/y .

(a) What is the pulsar’s angular acceleration α?

(b) If αis constant, how many years from now will the pulsar stop rotating?

(c) The pulsar originated in a supernova explosion seen in the year 1054 .Assuming constant a, find the initial T.
