A 55-kg runner runs around the edge of a horizontal turntable mounted on a vertical, frictionless axis through its center. The runner’s velocity relative to the earth has magnitude 2.8 m/s. The turntable is rotating in the opposite direction with an angular velocity of magnitude 0.20 rad/s relative to the earth. The radius of the turntable is 3.0 m, and its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is80kgm2. Find the final angular velocity of the system if the runner comes to rest relative to the turntable. (You can model the runner as a particle.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required angular velocity of the system is Ó¬'=0.776rad/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Angular momentum of the system

It is given that the mass of the person as m=55kg, runners speed relative to the earth as vf=2.8m/s, angular velocity of the turntable as Ó¬=0.20rad/s, radius of the turntable as r=3.0m and the moment of inertia asI=80kgm2 .

02

Concept

By the conservation of angular momentum, Li=Lf. The initial angular momentum due to the person and the turntable is Li=mrvr-IÓ¬.

The moment of inertia of the system is I'=mr2+I then the final angular momentum is given by,

Lf=I'Ó¬'=mr2+IÓ¬'

03

Angular velocity of the system

Since,Li=Lfthen,

role="math" localid="1667991534420" mrvr-IӬ=mr2+IӬ'⇒Ӭ'=mrvr-IӬmr2+I

Now, substitute all the known values and simplify.

Ӭ′=mrvr−IӬmr2+I=(55kg)(3.0m)(2.8m/s)−80kgm2(0.20rad/s)(55kg)(3.0m)2+80kgm2=462kgm2/s−80kgm2(0.20rad/s)165kgm2+80kgm2=0.776rad/s2

Therefore, the angular velocity of the given system is Ó¬'=0.766rad/s2.

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?
