Question

A 1.10-kg grinding wheel is in the form of a solid cylinder of radius 0.500 m. (a) What constant torque will bring it from rest to an angular speed of 1350 rev/min in 1.5 s?
N · m

(b) Through what angle has it turned during that time?
rad

(c) Use Eq. (10.21) to calculate the work done by the torque.
W = z(2 - 1) = z       (work done by a constant torque) (10.21) J

(d) What is the grinding wheel's kinetic energy when it is rotating at 1350 rev/min?
J

Explanation / Answer

A) Torque (f) = Inertia (I) x angular acceleration (c)

angular speed (w) = 1350rpm x 2pi radians/ 60 seconds = 45pi rad/second

w (final) = w (initial) + (c) x time (t)
45pi= 0 - c(1.5seconds)
c= 30pi = -94.24 rad/s^2
Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder = I = mr^2 / 2

m = 10 kg, r = 0.5 m

I = mr^2 / 2 = 10*0.5^2 / 2 = 1.25
f= I x c

f= 1.25 x 94.24
f= 117.84 N/m

constant torque required is 117.84 N/m

B) Acceleration is -ve from t=0 to t=1.5s
so angle turned from t=0 to 1.5s is s = u*t - 0.5*a*t^2
s = (141.37*1.5) - 0.5*94.24*(1.5)^2 = 106 rad
Total angle from t=0 to rest = 106 rad

C) Work done by the torque

W = (2 - 1) = = 117.84 N/m * 106 rad = 12491.2 J

D) kinetic energy (Ek) = 1/2 * I x w^2 = 0.5*1.25*(45pi)^2 = 12491.2 J
