In your job as a mechanical engineer you are designing a flywheel and clutch-plate system like the one in Example 10.11. Disk A is made of a lighter material than disk B, and the moment of inertia of disk A about the shaft is one-third that of disk B. The moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. With the clutch disconnected, A is brought up to an angular speed v0; B is initially at rest. The accelerating torque is then removed from A, and A is coupled to B. (Ignore bearing friction.) The design specifications allow for a maximum of 2400 J of thermal energy to be developed when the connection is made. What can be the maximum value of the original kinetic energy of disk A so as not to exceed the maximum allowed value of the thermal energy?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum value of the original kinetic energy is 3200 J .

Step by step solution

01

Original kinetic energy

The maximum initial kinetic energy of A is given by k0/A/max=12IAw02/A/max. By conservation of energy U0+K0+Wothers=U1+K1.

The flywheel and clutch are rotating so there is no change in the gravitational potential energy implies U0=U1=0andK0=K1-Wothers......(1)

Find K0as follows:

K0=K0/A+K0/B=12/w0/A2+12/w0/B2=12l0/A2+12IB(0)2=12l0/A2

Similarly, find K1as follows:

K1=K1/A+K1/B=12IAw2+12IBw2=1213IB+12IBw2=23IBw2

It is given that Wothers=-2400Jthen substitute all the value in (1) then,

12Iw20/A=23IBw2+2400Jwhich impliesK0/A/max=23IBw2+2400J........(2) …… (2)

02

Final angular speed of the system

By the angular momentum conservation, L0=L1then here, I0w0=Iiw1. Now,

IAW0/A+IBW0/B=IAW+IBW=IA+IBW

Since, IA=13IBthen,

13IBW0/A+IB(0)=13IBw+IBw=43IBw

From the above equation w=14w0/A. Substitute w in (2) and simplify.

K0/A/max=23IB14w0/A2+2400J=124IBw0/A2+2400J=1243IBw0/A2+2400J=18IBw0/A2+2400J

Since, role="math" localid="1668057419817" k0/A/max=12IBW20/A/maxthen,

12IBw0/A2=18IBw0/A2+2400J⇒38IBw0/A2=2400J

Thus, role="math" localid="1668057517014" 12IBw0/A2=12240083

= 3200 J

Therefore, the maximum value of the original kinetic energy is 3200 J.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
