(10%) Problem 10: A solid disk of mass M= 9.5 kg and radius R rotates in the z-y plane as showin 0.84 m ©theexpertta.com 33% Part (a) Write an expression for the magnitude of the net torque required for the disc to achieve a given rotational speed when starting from rest in terms of M, R, o, and t Grade Summary 5% 95% 7 8 9 Attempts remaining: 4 (5% per attempt) detailed view 5% 0 END I give up!

Explanation / Answer

M = 9.5 kg

R = 0.84 m

m = 0.35 kg

r = 0.41 m

= 5 rad/s

a) torque = I = ½mr² * /t = MR² / t

b) = MR² / t = F * R, so F = MR/t

c) Conserve momentum: initial L = final L
Io * = If * f
where Io, If are the initial, final moments of inertia and f is the final angular velocity
½MR² = (½MR² + mr²)*f f = MR² / (MR² + 2mr²)
where m and r are the mass and distance from the axis of the added mass.
Plugging in values, I get
f = 4.91 rad/s
