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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Rotational inertia about wheel is0.054kgm2

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Radius of wheel is0.2m
  2. Mass of box is2.0kg
  3. Acceleration is2.0m/s2
  4. Angle of inclination is20°
02

To understand the concept

Use Newton’s second law to find tension. Using the formula for the torque in terms of tension and radius and also using the formula in terms of moment of inertia and angular acceleration, find the acceleration.

Formula:

Fnet=M×aτ=Iα=T×rα=ar

04

Calculate the rotational inertia of the wheel about the axle

Net force acting on block is as follow

Fnet=magsinθ-TA

Hereθ=20°

⇒Fnet=magsin20-TA

According to Newton’s law,

Fnet=maa

So

maa=magsin20-TA⇒2×2=2×9.8×sin20-TA⇒TA=2.7N

Here torque is due to tension so

τ=r×T=I×α⇒r×TA=I×ar⇒I=TA×r2a⇒I=2.7×0.222⇒I=0.054kgm2

Cheetahs running at top speed have been reported at an astounding114 k³¾/³ó(about71″¾¾±/³ó) by observers driving alongside the animals. Imagine trying to measure a cheetah’s speed by keeping your vehicle abreast of the animal while also glancing at your speedometer, which is registering114 k³¾/³ó. You keep the vehicle a constantfrom the cheetah, but the noise of the vehicle causes the cheetah to continuously veer away from you along a circular path of radius92″¾. Thus, you travel along a circular path of radius.100″¾ (a) What is the angular speed of you and the cheetah around the circular paths? (b) What is the linear speed of the cheetah along its path? (If you did not account for the circular motion, you would conclude erroneously that the cheetah’s speed is114 k³¾/³ó, and that type of error was apparently made in the published reports.)

At t=0, a flywheel has an angular velocity of4.7 r²¹»å/s, a constant angular acceleration of−0.25 r²¹»å/s2, and a reference line atθ0=0.

(a) Through what maximum angleθmaxwill the reference line turn in the positive direction? What are the

(b) first and

(c) second times the reference line will beθ=12θmax?

At what(d) negative time and

(e) positive times will the reference line be atθ=10.5 r²¹»å?

(f) Graphθversust, and indicate your answers.

Figure 10-58shows a propeller blade that rotates at 2000 r±ð±¹/³¾¾±²Ôabout a perpendicular axis at point B. Point A is at the outer tip of the blade, at radial distance 1.50″¾. (a) What is the difference in the magnitudes a of the centripetal acceleration of point A and of a point at radial distance 0.150″¾? (b) Find the slope of a plot of a versus radial distance along the blade.

A wheel, starting from rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 2.00rad/s2. During a certain 3.00sinterval, it turns through 90.0rad. (a) What is the angular velocity of the wheel at the start of the3.00sinterval? (b) How long has the wheel been turning before the start of the3.00sinterval?
