Question

A textbook of mass 1.90kg rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diameter is 0.180m , to a hanging book with mass 3.04kg . The system is released from rest, and the books are observed to move a distance 1.25m over a time interval of 0.800s .

What is the tension in the part of the cord attached to the textbook?

What is the tension in the part of the cord attached to the book?

What is the moment of inertia of the pulley about its rotation axis?

Explanation / Answer

M? = mass of the book on the surface = 1.90 kg
M? = mass of the hanging book = 3.04 kg
R = radius of the pulley = 0.180/2 m =0.09 as radius is given
d = distance fallen = 1.25 m
t = time fallen = 0.800 s
g = acceleration by gravity = 9.81 m/s
