[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

A circular saw blade with a radius of 0.120m starts from rest and turns in a vertical plane with a constant angular acceleration of 2.00 rev/s sq. After the blade has turned through 155 rev, a small piece of the blade breaks loose, it travels with a velocity that is initially horizontal and equal to the tangential velocity of the rim of the blade. The piece travels a vertical distance of 0.820m to the floor. How far does the piece travel horizontally, from where it broke off the blade until it strikes the floor.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The horizontal distance from where it broke off the blade, until it strikes the floor, is \(7.70\;{\rm{m}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Centrifugal force

On a body moving on a circular path, a force acts on a body radially outward, whose magnitude is equal to the centripetal force. This force is known as centrifugal force. It is a pseudo force and not a reaction to centripetal force.

02

Given Data

Radius of saw blade: \(r = 0.120\;{\rm{m}}\)

Angular acceleration: \(\alpha = 2\;{{{\rm{rev}}{\rm{.}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\rm{rev}}{\rm{.}}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\)

Number of revolutions of the blade: \(n = 150\;{\rm{rev}}{\rm{.}}\)

Distance traveled vertically: \({d_v} = 0.820\;{\rm{m}}\)

03

Calculate the value of \({{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{x}}}\,\,\,{\bf{and}}\,\,\,{\bf{\theta }}\)

Let\(y - z\) would be the vertical place along which the blade is rotating.

The blade rotates about the x-axis.

For \(R = 0.120\;{\rm{m, }}{\alpha _x} = 2.00\;{{{\rm{rev}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\rm{rev}}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\;{\rm{and}}\;n = 155\;{\rm{rev}}\),

The angular acceleration along the x-axis, can be written as-

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\alpha _x} &= \left( {2.00\;\frac{{{\rm{rev}}}}{{{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{2\pi \;{\rm{rad}}}}{{1\,\,{\rm{rev}}}}} \right)\\ &= 4.00\pi \;{{{\rm{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\rm{rad}}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\end{aligned}\)

The angular displacement for \(155\;{\rm{revolutions}}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{}\theta &= 155\;{\rm{rev}}\left( {\frac{{2\pi \,\,\,{\rm{rad}}}}{{1\,\,{\rm{rev}}}}} \right)\\ &= 310\pi \;{\rm{rad}}\end{aligned}\)

Since \({\alpha _x}\) is constant and the body started from rest, the third equation of motion, gives-

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\omega _x^2 &= \omega _{0x}^2 + 2{\alpha _x}\left( {\theta - {\theta _0}} \right)\\\omega _x^2 &= {\left( 0 \right)^2} + 2\left( {4.00\pi \;{{{\rm{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\rm{rad}}} {{{\rm{s}}^2}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^2}}}} \right)\left( {310\pi \;{\rm{rad}} - 0} \right)\\{\omega _x} &= 49.8\pi \;{{{\rm{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\rm{rad}}} {\rm{s}}}} \right.}{\rm{s}}}\end{aligned}\)

Here \({\omega _x}\) is the angular velocity and \({\alpha _x}\) is the angular acceleration along x-axis.

04

Determine how far the piece travels horizontally, from where it broke off the blade until it strikes the floor

The velocity of P at that instant is as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{}{v_p} &= {\omega _x}R\\ &= \left( {49.8\pi \;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {\rm{s}}}} \right.} {\rm{s}}}}\right)\left( {0.120\;{\rm{m}}} \right)\\ &=

5.976\pi \;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {\rm{s}}}} \right.} {\rm{s}}}\end{aligned}\)

As the pieces undergo projectile motion in the y-z plane. Breaking the velocity, acceleration and displacement of the piece into two components along y and z- axis.

At the instant when P begins to move along a projectile path with a horizontal initial velocity, let time be taken as \(t = 0\).

So, along the z-axis (vertical motion),

\({u_z} = 0\)

\({a_z} = 9.8\;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\)

\({s_z} = z\)

\({t_z} = t\)

Applying second equation of motion and inserting the given values-

\(\begin{aligned}{}z &= {u_z}t - \frac{1}{2}{a_z}{t^2}\\0.820\;{\rm{m}} &= \left( 0 \right)t - \frac{1}{2}\left( {9.8\;{{\rm{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right){t^2}\\ - 0.820 &= - \left( {4.9\;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right){t^2}\\{t^2} &= \frac{{0.820\;{\rm{m}}}}{{4.9\;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right.} {{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}}}\end{aligned}\)

\(t = 0.41\;{\rm{s}}\)

For motion along y-axis (horizontal motion)-

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{u_y} &= {v_p} &= 5.98\pi \;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {\rm{s}}}} \right.} {\rm{s}}}\\{a_y} &= 0\\{s_y} &= y\\{t_y} &= t &= 0.41\;{\rm{s}}\\{v_y} &= 0\end{aligned}\)

Applying second equation of motion, we get-

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{s_y} &= {u_y}t + \frac{1}{2}{a_y}{t^2}\\y &= {v_P}t + \frac{1}{2}\left( 0 \right){t^2}\\{v_p} &= \frac{d}{t}\\y &= {v_p}t\end{aligned}\)

For the given values,

\(\begin{aligned}{}y &= \left( {5.98\pi \;{{\rm{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\rm{m}} {\rm{s}}}} \right.} {\rm{s}}}} \right)\left( {0.41} \right)\\ &= 7.70\;{\rm{m}}\end{aligned}\)

The distance, the piece covers horizontally is\(7.70\;{\rm{m}}\).

A rubber hose is attached to a funnel, and the free end is bent around to point upward. When water is poured into the funnel, it rises in the hose to the same level as in the funnel, even though the funnel has a lot more water in it than the hose does. Why? What supports the extra weight of the water in the funnel?
