The 5.0 kg, 60-cm-diameter disk in FIGURE P12.72 rotates on an axle passing
through one edge. The axle is parallel to the floor. The cylinder is held with the
center of mass at the same height as the axle, then released.
a. What is the cylinder’s initial angular acceleration?
b. What is the cylinder’s angular velocity when it is directly below the axle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Cylinder’s initial angular acceleration is 21.7 rad/sec2

b) Cylinder’s angular velocity when it is directly below the axle is 8.25 rad/sec

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

The mass of the cylinder = 5kg
The diameter of the cylinder = 60 cm
So radius = 30 cm = 0.3 m

02

Part(a) Step2: Explanation

Lets draw the FBD as below

Angular acceleration is calculated by

α=τI.............................(1)

Torque can be calculated by

τ=F×l................................(2)

Where, F is the net force acting on the cylinder and l is the length of arm.

Only force acting is gravitational force

Substitute in equation(2) G = mg

Ï„=mgR......................(3)

This is in the shape of disc so use the moment of inertia of disc.

I=ICM+MR2......................(4)

ICM is the moment of inertia about it center of mass MR22

Substitute in equation(4) we get

I=3MR23

Substitute values in equation (1) to get angular acceleration

α=MgR32MR2α=2g3R………………………….(5)

Substitute given values in the equation (5) we get

α=2×9.8ms-23×0.3m=21.8rads-2

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

The mass of the cylinder = 5kg
The diameter of the cylinder = 60 cm
So radius = 30 cm = 0.3 m

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Explanation

To calculate the angular speed use the formula below

Ӭf2-Ӭi2=2αθ,…………………………..(6)

Where

Ӭf= final velocity, Ӭi = initial velocity ,θ is angular displacement and α is angular displacement.

Substitute values: s the cylinder is below axle so angular displacement ,θ =π/2

Ӭi =0 and α =21.8 rad/s2

Ӭf2-(0)2=2×(21.8rad/s2)×(π/2)Ӭf=8.25rad/s

The two blocks in FIGURE CP12.86 are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley is 12 cm in diameter and has a mass of 2.0 kg. As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.50 N m. If the blocks are released from rest, how long does it take the 4.0 kg block to reach the floor?

A 200 g, 40-cm-diameter turntable rotates on frictionless bearings at 60 rpm. A 20 g block sits at the center of the turntable. A compressed spring shoots the block radially outward along a frictionless groove in the surface of the turntable. What is the turntable’s rotation angular velocity when the block reaches the outer edge?

A rod of length L and mass M has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ= cx2, where x is measured from the center of the rod and c is a constant.

a. What are the units of c?
b. Find an expression for c in terms of L and M.
c. Find an expression in terms of L and M for the moment of inertia of the rod for rotation about an axis through the center.

A thin, 100g disk with a diameter of 8.0 cm rotates about an axis through its center with 0.15 J of kinetic energy. What is the speed of a point on the rim?

A toy gyroscope has a ring of mass M and radius R attached to the axle by lightweight spokes. The end of the axle is distance R from the center of the ring.
