A computer disk drive is turned on starting from rest

and has constant angular acceleration. If it took 0.0865 s for the

drive to make its secondcomplete revolution, (a) how long did it

take to make the first complete revolution, and (b) what is its

angular acceleration, in rad/s sq

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The time to cover first complete revolution is \(0.209\,\,s\)
  2. The angular acceleration is \(287.69\,\,{{{rad}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{rad} s}} \right.} s}^2}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given in the question

The time to complete the second revolution is\({t_2} = 0.0865\,\,s\)

Angular acceleration is constant

Since the disk drive starts from rest, therefore, the initial angular speed\({\omega _0} = 0\)

And initial angular displacement\({\theta _0} = 0\).

02

Formula or concept used to solve the question

If angular acceleration is constant, we can use the relation,

\(\theta = {\theta _0} + {\omega _0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha {t^2}\)

Where

\(\theta \)is the final angular deviation.

\({\theta _0}\)is the initial angular deviation.

\({\omega _0}\)is the initial angular velocity.

\(t\)is the time.

\(\alpha \)the angular acceleration.

03

Calculating the time to complete the first revolution.

Since angular acceleration is constant, we can use the equation,

\(\theta = {\theta _0} + {\omega _0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha {t^2}\)

We know in one revolution disk will cover\(2\pi \,\,rad\)

Suppose the time to complete the first revolution is\({t_1}\)

Then, substituting the values for the first revolution in the equation.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}2\pi \,rad = \left( 0 \right) + \left( 0 \right)\left( {{t_1}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\alpha {\left( {{t_1}} \right)^2}\\2\pi \,\,rad = \frac{1}{2}\alpha {\left( {{t_1}} \right)^2}...\left( i \right)\end{aligned}\)

For second complete revolution \(\theta = 4\pi \,\,rad\) and time to will be

\(\begin{aligned}{}t = \,{t_1} + {t_2}\\ = {t_1} + 0.086\,\,s\end{aligned}\)

Substituting the values into the equation

\(\begin{aligned}{}4\pi \,\,rad = \left( 0 \right) + \left( 0 \right)\left( {{t_1} + 0.0865} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\alpha {\left( {{t_1} + 0.0865} \right)^2}\\4\pi \,\,rad = \frac{1}{2}\alpha {\left( {{t_1} + 0.0865} \right)^2}...\left( {ii} \right)\end{aligned}\)

Dividing equation (i) by (ii)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\frac{{4\pi }}{{2\pi }} = \frac{{{1 \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {1 2}} \right.} 2}\alpha {{\left( {{t_1} + 0.0865\,s} \right)}^2}}}{{{1 \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {1 2}} \right.} 2}\alpha {{\left( {{t_1}} \right)}^2}}}\\t_1^2 = \frac{{{{\left( {{t_1} + 0.0865\,\,s} \right)}^2}}}{2}\\2t_1^2 = {t_1}^2 + 2\left( {0.0865\,} \right){t_1} + {\left( {0.0865} \right)^2}\\{t_1}^2 - 0.173t + 0.00748 = 0\end{aligned}\)\({t_1} = 0.209\,s,\,\, - 0.0358\,s\)

Since time cannot have negative value

Therefore, the time to cover first complete revolution is \(0.209\,\,s\)

04

calculating the angular acceleration.

We know,

\({t_1} = 0.209\,\,s\)

Substituting this value into equation (i)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}2\pi \,\,rad = \frac{1}{2}\alpha {\left( {{t_1}} \right)^2}\\2\left( {3.14} \right)\,\,rad = \frac{1}{2}\alpha {\left( {0.209\,\,s} \right)^2}\\\alpha = 287.69\,\,{{rad} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{rad} {{s^2}}}} \right.} {{s^2}}}\end{aligned}\)

Hence the angular acceleration is \(287.69\,\,{{{rad} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{rad} s}} \right.} s}^2}\)
