If the coefficient of static friction between a car鈥檚 tires and the pavement is 0.65, calculate the minimum torque that must be applied to the 66-cm-diameter tire of a 1080-kg automobile in order to 鈥渓ay rubber鈥 (make the wheels spin, slipping as the car accelerates). Assume each wheel supports an equal share of the weight.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The minimum torque that will make the tire slip is \(567.6\;{\rm{m}}\;{\rm{N}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The mass of the car is \(m = 1080\;{\rm{kg}}\).

The coefficient of static friction is \({\mu _{\rm{s}}} = 0.65\).

The diameter of the tire is \(d = 66\;{\rm{cm}} = 0.66\;{\rm{m}}\).

02

Definition of static friction

The friction experienced when a person tries to move a stationary object on a surface without actually triggering any relative motion between the body and the surface on which it is moving is known as static friction.

03

Definition of torque

Torque is defined as the measure of the force that causes an object to rotate about an axis. It is also called the rotational equivalent of linear force.

Mathematically, torque is represented as:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\vec \tau = \vec r \times \vec F\\\left| \tau \right| = rF\sin \theta \end{aligned}\) 鈥 (i)

Here, F is the applied force, and r is the perpendicular distance between the point about which the torque is calculated and the point of application of force.

04

Calculation of the force of static friction

The tires of the car will not slip as long as the force F between the tires and the road is less than the maximum static friction. You need to equate this minimum force F to the maximum value of static friction.

\(F = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}N\).

Here, N is the normal force that the pavement applies on the tire to keep the car at rest. It is equal to the weight (force of gravity) acting downward. The mass of each tire is \(\frac{1}{4}th\) of the total mass of the car. Therefore,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}F = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}\left( {\frac{m}{4}} \right)g\\ = \left( {0.65} \right)\left( {\frac{{1080\;{\rm{kg}}}}{4}} \right)\left( {9.8\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\ = 1720\;{\rm{N}}\end{aligned}\)

05

Calculation of the torque that must be applied on the tire

The torque that must be applied to make the tire slip is given by:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\tau = rF\\ = \left( {\frac{{0.66\;{\rm{m}}}}{2}} \right)\left( {1720\;{\rm{N}}} \right)\\ = 567.6\;{\rm{m}}\;{\rm{N}}\end{aligned}\)

Determine the net torque on the 2.0-m-long uniform beam shown in Fig. 8鈥45. All forces are shown. Calculate about (a) point C, the CM, and (b) point P at one end.

A uniform rod of mass M and length l can pivot freely (i.e., we ignore friction) about a hinge attached to a wall, as in Fig. 8鈥63. The rod is held horizontally and then released. At the moment of release, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the rod, and (b) the linear acceleration of the tip of the rod. Assume that the force of gravity acts at the center of mass of the rod, as shown. [Hint: See Fig. 8鈥20g.]

The solid dot shown in Fig. 8鈥36 is a pivot point. The board can rotate about the pivot. Which force shown exerts the largest magnitude torque on the board?

FIGURE 8-36MisConceptual Question 4.

The angular velocity of a wheel rotating on a horizontal axle points west. In what direction is the linear velocity of a point on the top of the wheel? If the angular acceleration points east, describe the tangential linear acceleration of this point at the top of the wheel. Is the angular speed increasing or decreasing?

To get a flat, uniform cylindrical satellite spinning at the correct rate, engineers fire four tangential rockets, as shown in Fig. 8鈥50. Suppose that the satellite has a mass of 3600 kg and a radius of 4.0 m and that the rockets each add a mass of 250 kg. What is the steady force required of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 32 rpm in 5.0 min, starting from rest?
