[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 500 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75.0 cm. The power is off for 30.0 s, and during this time the flywheel slows due to friction in its axle bearings. During the time the power is off, the flywheel makes 200 complete revolutions. (a) At what rate is the flywheel spinning when the power comes back on? (b) How long after the beginning of the power failure would it have taken the flywheel to stop if the power had not come back on, and how many revolutions would the wheel have made during this time?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The rate of spinning when the power comes back is 300 rpm.

(b) The required time is , and the angular displacement is 315 rev.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The initial angular speed is Ӭ0z=500 rpm.

The angular displacement is θ-θ0=200 rev.

The time is t=30 s or t =0.5 m in..

02

Concept/Significance of rotation of body with constant angular acceleration

Derive the required expression to find the rate of spinning of flywheel as follows.

θ−θ0=12(Ӭz+Ӭ0z)t2(θ−θ0)=(Ӭz+Ӭ0z)t2(θ−θ0)t=Ӭz+Ӭ0zӬz=2(θ−θ0)t−Ӭ0z.............(1)

03

Determine the rate of flywheel spinning when the power comes back on(a)

Substitute Ӭ0z=500 rpm, θ-θ0=200 rev, and t =0.5 min in equation (1).

Ó¬z=2200rav0.5min-500rpm=800rpm-500rpm=300rpm

Therefore, the rate of spinning when the power comes back is 300 rpm.

04

Determine the time and angular displacement(b)

From the above results, it can be observed that the speed is decreasing which means the flywheel is decelerated.

Use the following expression to find the angular acceleration.

Ӭz=Ӭ0z-αztαz=Ӭ0z-Ӭzt......2

Substitute Ӭ0z=500 rpm, t=30 s , andӬz=300 rpmin equation Ӭz2=Ӭoz2+2αzθ.

αz=500rpm−300rpm30s=200rpm30s=130s200revmin×1min60sec=0.11rev/s2

At the end the flywheel is stopped, so take Ó¬z=0.

Substitute Ӭ0z=500 rpm,αz=0.11 rev/s2 , andӬz=0 rpmin equation (2) to find time.

t=500revmin×1min60sec−00.11rev/s2=8.33rev/s0.11rev/s2=75.7sec

Therefore, the required time is 75.7 sec.

Use the following expression to find the angular displacement.

Δθ=Ӭ0zt-1/2αzt2         ......(3)

Substitute Ӭ0z=8.33 rev/s,αz=0.11 rev/s2 , and t=75.7 sec in equation (3).

Δθ=(8.33rev/s)(75.7sec)−120.11rev/s2(75.7sec)2=630rev−315rev=315rev

Therefore, the angular displacement is 315 rev.
