Question

1- A cylindrical hoop with a diameter of 58 cm has the same mass as a spherical shell of radius R. If the cylinder and sphere have the same moment of inertia about their centers, what is the sphere's radius in cm?

2- A 3 kg block and a 5 kg block are attached to opposite ends of a light rope. The rope hangs over a solid, frictionless pulley that is 22 cm in diameter and has a mass of 1.5 kg. When the blocks are released, what is the acceleration (magnitude) of the lighter block?

3- A 480 g, 26-cm-diameter plastic solid sphere is spun on an axle through its center by an electric motor. What torque must the motor supply to take the disk from 0 to 2500 rpm in 6.0 s?

Explanation / Answer

2)

F = ma = T- mg ...........(1)

F = ma = mg - T ............(2)

= rF = I = r(T- T)

Ia / r = r(T- T)

Ia / r² = (T- T) .............(3)

Adding (1), (2), and (3) together and solving for a

a = [g(m- m)] / ( m + m + I/r²)

a = [g(m- m)] / ( m + m + 0.5Mr²/r²)

a = [g(m- m)] / ( m + m + 0.5M)

a = [9.81m/s²(5 kg - 3 kg)] / [3 kg + 5 kg + 0.5(1.50 kg)]

a = 2.24 m/s²

3)

m = 0.480 kg

R = d/2 = 0.13 m

W = 2500*2/60 = 261.8 rad/sec

I = 1/2mR^2

I = 0.004056 kgm²

= w/t = w/6 = 43.63 rad/sec²

Torque = I* = 0.177 Nm

Not sure about first problem.
