Question

is initially rotating clockwise at an n, O. The radius of the disk is 50 4 (20 points) A disk with moment of inertia of Skgm2 is initially rotating angular speed of 15rad/s around the axis of rotatio cm. The disk was brought 20cm from 0, at an angle =60° as shown in the figure. to rest by an external force of 20 N is applied at distance Calculate the net external torque acting on the disk? a. F-20N b. What is the total angular displacement of the disk? c. How much y eon the disk to bring it to rest?

Explanation / Answer

a) T = r*F*sin(theta)

= 0.2*20*sin(30)

= 2 N.m

b) wo = 15 rad/s
I = 5 kg.m^2

anguar acceleration, alfa = -T/I

= -2/5

= -0.4 rad/s^2

wf^2 - wo^2 = 2*alfa*theta

==> theta = (wf^2 - wo^2)/(2*alfa)

= (0^2 - 15^2)/(2*(-0.4))

= 281 rad or 44.8 revolutions

c) Workdone = change in kinetic energy

= (1/2)*I*(wf^2 -wo^2)

= (1/2)*5*(0^2 - 15^2)

= -562.5 J
