The sphere of mass M and radius R in FIGURE P12.76 is rigidly attached to a thin rod of radius r that passes through the sphere at distance 12 R from the center. A string wrapped around the rod pulls with tension T. Find an expression for the sphere’s angular acceleration. The rod’s moment of inertia is negligible.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expression for the sphere’s angular acceleration is α=20Tr13MR2

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of sphere = M

Radius of sphere = R
radius of rod = r
Sphere is attached with Rod at R/2 distance from the center of the sphere.
Rod is pulled with a string with tension T
The moment of inertia of the rod is negligible.

02

Explanation

From the parallel axis theorem moment of inertia is given by

I=25MR2+MR22I=MR225+14I=13MR220

Torque on the sphere is calculated by

τ=Frsinθ

In this case only tension force is applicable so

Ï„=Tr............................(2)

Torque is calculated by another way using angular acceleration

τ=Iα..........................(3)

From equation (2) and (3)

Iα=Trα=TrI.......................(4)

Substitute values , we get

α=Tr13MR220α=20Tr13MR2

A 1.3kg ball on the end of a lightweight rod is located at (x,y)=(0.3m,2.0m)where the yaxis is vertical. The other end of the rod is attached to a pivot at (x,y)=(0m,3.0m). What is the torque about the pivot? Write your answer using unit vectors.

Flywheels are large, massive wheels used to store energy. They can be spun up slowly, then the wheel’s energy can be released quickly to accomplish a task that demands high power. An industrial flywheel has a 1.5 m diameter and a mass of 250 kg. Its maximum angular velocity is 1200 rpm.
a. A motor spins up the flywheel with a constant torque of 50 N m. How long does it take the flywheel to reach top speed?
b. How much energy is stored in the flywheel?

c. The flywheel is disconnected from the motor and connected to a machine to which it will deliver energy. Half the energy stored in the flywheel is delivered in 2.0 s. What is the average power delivered to the machine?
d. How much torque does the flywheel exert on the machine?

A 4.0 kg, 36 cm-diameter metal disk, initially at rest, can rotate on an axle along its axis. A steady 5.0 N tangential force is applied to the edge of the disk. What is the disk's angular velocity, in rpm, 4.0 s later?
