A stone is suspended from the free end of the wire that is wrapped around the outer rim of a pulley, similar to what is shown in the Fig.10.10. The pulley is a uniform disk with mass 10.0 Kg and radius 30.0 cm and turns on frictionless bearings. You measure that the stone travels 12.6 m in the first 3.00 s starting from rest. Find (a) the mass of the stone and (b) the tension in the wire.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The mass of the stone is 2.00 Kg.

(b) The tension in the wire is, 14.0 N.

Step by step solution

01

To mention the given data

We have the given data:

The radius of the disk =30.0 cm.

Mass of the disk =10.0 Kg.

Distance traveled by the stone (height) =12.6 m.

At rest, the velocity , time

02

To recall the concept

We have the moment of inertia of the uniform disk about an axis through its center is,

I=25MR2

Then the torque is given by,

∑τ0=Iα⇒N(0)+Mg(0)+TR=12MR2α⇒T=MRα2⋯⋯(1)

Where, is the tension in the wire.

is the reaction force from the bearing on the pulley.

is the weight of the pulley acting on its center of mass.

The acceleration of the stone is equal to the tangential acceleration of any point in the rim of the disk.

Thus, ay=Rα⇒α=ayR

Putting this value in , we get,

T=12MRayRT=May2⋯⋯(2)

Now,

∑Fy=may⇒mg−T=may⇒T=mg−ay⇒m=Tg−ay

Here, is the tension in the wire

is the weight of the stone.

Now, let us find the value of ay.

Stone has the constant acceleration downward.

From the given question we have the vertical displacement at the initial position and positive direction downward.

Therefore,

y−y1=v1t+12ayt2⇒12.6−0=(0)⋅(3.00)+12ay(3.00)2⇒ay=2.80ms2

Using this value in , we get,

T=1210.02.80T=14.0N

03

(a)To find the mass of the stone

Now, substituting above value in , we get,

m=149.80-2.80m=2.00Kg

Hence, the mass of the stone is 2.00 Kg.

04

(b)To find the tension in the wire

Stone has the constant acceleration downward.

From the given question we have the vertical displacement at the initial position and positive direction downward.

Therefore,

y−y1=v1t+12ayt2⇒12.6−0=(0)⋅(3.00)+12ay(3.00)2⇒ay=2.80ms2

Using this value in , we get,

T=12(10.0)(2.80)T=14.0N

Hence, the tension in the wire is, 14.0 N.

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 400 km above the earth’s surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4000 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What is the period of the spacecraft’s orbit? (b) Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft’s speed at perigee to its speed at apogee. (c) Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. (d) It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft’s rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this? What if the rockets were fired at apogee? Which point in the orbit is more efficient to use?.
