Question

A pulley consists of a uniform disk of mass 5 kg and radius 0.12 m. A cord wound around the pulley (like the figure above) is pulled with force 45 N. The pulley is initially stationary; there is no frlction. Find (a) the torque, (b) the angular acceleration. At t = 4 s, flnd (c) the angular velocity [600 rad/s], (d) the angular momentum. Find also (e) the work done in one complete revolution, and (f) the angular velocity when the rotational kinetic energy is 50 J.

Explanation / Answer

Given:

F = 45N

M = 5kg

R = 0.12m

So, Inertia I = 1/2* M * R^2 = 0.036 kg-m2

a) Torque T = F*R = 5.4 N-m

b) We know,

T = I*alpha, where alpha = angular acceleration. So,

alpha = T/I = 5.4/0.036 = 150 rad/s2

c) Angular velocity w = alpha * t = 150*4 = 600 rad/s

d) Angular momentum L = I*w = 21.6 kg-m2/s2

e) angular displacement th = 1rev = 2pi rad

So, work done W = T*th = 5.4* 2pi = 33.93 J

f) KErot = 1/2 * I * w2 = 50 J(given)

=> w = sqrt(2*50/I) = sqrt (100/0.036) = 52.7 rad/s

Hope this helps :)
