Chapter 8: Problem 14

A 124 -g mass is placed on one pan of a balance, at a point \(25 \mathrm{cm}\) from the support of the balance. What is the magnitude of the torque about the support exerted by the mass?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The magnitude of the torque exerted by the 124 g mass about the support is approximately 0.304 Nm.

Step by step solution

01

Convert mass to force

Using the gravitational force formula, F = mg, we can convert the mass given in the problem from grams to kilograms and then to a force. Mass: 124 g = 0.124 kg Gravity: g = 9.81 m/s^2 Now multiply the mass (in kg) by the gravitational constant: Force, F = (0.124 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 1.21764 N Now we have the force exerted by the mass.
02

Calculate the torque

Using the torque formula, torque = force x distance: Distance: 25 cm = 0.25 m (convert the distance from cm to meters) Now multiply the force (in N) by the distance (in meters): Torque = (1.21764 N)(0.25 m) = 0.30441 Nm The magnitude of the torque exerted by the mass about the support is approximately 0.304 Nm.

The Moon's distance from Earth varies between \(3.56 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{km}\) at perigee and \(4.07 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{km}\) at apogee. What is the ratio of its orbital speed around Earth at perigee to that at apogee?
The angular momentum of a spinning wheel is $240 \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s} .$ After application of a constant braking torque for \(2.5 \mathrm{s}\), it slows and has a new angular momentum of $115 \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s} .$ What is the torque applied?
Verify that the units of the rotational form of Newton's second law [Eq. (8-9)] are consistent. In other words, show that the product of a rotational inertia expressed in \(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) and an angular acceleration expressed in \(\mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) is a torque expressed in \(\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}\).
How long would a braking torque of \(4.00 \mathrm{N}\).m have to act to just stop a spinning wheel that has an initial angular momentum of $6.40 \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s} ?$
