A thin, uniform, 3.80-kg bar, 80.0 cm long, has very small 2.50-kg balls glued on at either end (Fig. P10.57). It is supported horizontally by a thin, horizontal, frictionless axle passing through its center and perpendicular to the bar. Suddenly the right-hand ball becomes detached and falls off, but the other ball remains glued to the bar. (a) Find the angular acceleration of the bar just after the ball falls off. (b) Will the angular acceleration remain constant as the bar continues to swing? If not, will it increase or decrease? (c) Find the angular velocity of the bar just as it swings through its vertical position.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The angular acceleration is 16.3rad/s2.

(b) The torque on the bar will decrease continuously.

(c) The angular velocity of the bar is 5.7rad/s.

Step by step solution

01

EXECUTIVE and SET UP:

Momentum of inertia of the uniform bar about the center

I=mι212

Here, mass of the bar =m

Length of the bar= l

EXECUTIVE:

Length of the bar,

localid="1667799587809" ι=80.0cm=(80.0 cm)1×1021cm=0.8m

Mass of the bar,localid="1667799591543" M=3.80kg

Mass of each ball, localid="1667799596757" m=2.50kg

02

(a) Find the angular acceleration of the bar

Moment of inertia of the bar with a small ball glues at one end about the axis passing through centre of the bar and perpendicular is given by

I'=Mι212+m122............(1)

Now, torque at one end of the bar after ball fallen from other end is given by

I'α=mg12..................(2)

By using the equations (1) and (2),

We get angular acceleration after fall of the mass as follows.

Angular acceleration is,

α=6mg(Mι+3ml)=6(2.50kg)(9.80 m/s2)[(3.80kg)(0.8m)+3(2.50kg)(0.8)]=16.3 rad/s2

Hence, the angular acceleration is 16.3rad/s2.

03

(b) Find angular acceleration remain constant

No, the angular acceleration cannot remain constant.

The angular acceleration with decreases as the continue to swing, this is because after some swing, the gravitational force due to small ball will not stay perpendicular on the end of the bar. So, the torque on the bar will decreases continuously.

04

(c) Find the angular velocity of the bar

Using the conservation of energy law gravitational energy change of the small ball at vertical position of the bar will converts to rotational kinetic energy of the system.

12I'Ӭ2=mg12Mι2+m122Ӭ2=mgιӬ2=12mg(Mι+3mι)Ӭ=12mg(Mι+3mι)

By substituting the values in the above equation, we get

Ӭ=12(2.50kg)(9.80m/s2)[(3.80kg)(0.8m)+3(2.50kg)(0.8m)]=5.7 rad/s

Hence, the angular velocity of the bar is5.7rad/s.

You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 cm horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?
