Question

In the following problems, assume the following parameters:

Mass of the bottom steel disc: 1.4678 kg.
Mass of the upper steel disc: 1.4795 kg.
Mass of the upper aluminum disc: 0.4614 kg.
Radius of each disc: 63.3 mm.
Radius of the take-up spool: r=1.25 cm.
Mass of the falling weight: 25 grams.

1. Using the values given above, calculate the following:
a. The moment of interia of the lower, steel disc. (Answer: 2.941 * 10^-3 kg/m^2)
b. The moment of intertia of the upper, steel disc. (Answer: 2.964 * 10^-3 kg/m^2)
c. The moment of intertia of the upper, aluminum disc. (Answer: 9.244 *10^-4 kg/m^2)
d. The combined moment of inertia of the two steel discs. (Answer: 5.911 * 10^-3 kg/m^2)

2. Using the results of problem 1, what percentage error is made by neglecting mr^2 with respect to I in equation (100)?
Equation 100= mgr/(mr^2+I)

3. Suppose that the counter is reading 400 counts per second at some moment. What is the value of w at that moment?
NOTE: the register updates every two seconds.

I JUST NEED HELP WITH NUMBER 2 AND 3, I'M CONFUSED ON WHAT THE MASSES AND RADII SHOULD BE IN THE EQUATIONS

Explanation / Answer

(2)   For the equation 100 = mgr/(mr^2+I)

Use m  = 1.4678 + 1.4795 + 0.4614 = 3.4087 kg

(3)   For the value of w at that moment,

Use w  = mg

where m = 1.4678 + 1.4795 + 0.4614 + 0.025 = 3.4337 kg

   =>   w  = mg  = (3.4337(*(9.8) = 33.65026 N
