Question

A 1.50kg grinding wheel is in the form of a solid cylinder of radius 0.150m .

A) What constant torque will bring it from rest to an angular speed of 1200rev/min in 2.70s ?

B) Through what angle has it turned during that time?

C) Use equation W=?z(?2??1)=?z?? to calculate the work done by the torque.

D) What is the grinding wheel's kinetic energy when it is rotating at 1200rev/min ?

E) Compare your answer in part (D) to the result in part (C).

The results are the same.The results are not the same.

Explanation / Answer


A) I = 0.5*m*r^2

= 0.5*1.5*0.15^2

= 0.0169 kg.m^2

w1 = 1200*2*pi/60 = 125.6 rad/s

w2 = 0

alfa = (w2-w1)/t

= (0-125.6)/2.7

= 46.52 rad/s^2

Torque = I*alfa

= 0.0169*46.52

= 0.78 N.m

B) theta = wo*t - 0.5*alfa*t^2

= 125.6*2.7 - 0.5*46.52*2.7^2

= 169.6 rad

c) W = -Torque*theta

= -0.78*0.169.6

= -132.2 J

D) KE = 0.5*I*w1^2

= 0.5*0.0169*125.6^2

= 132.3 J

E)

the relults are same in magnitude.
