Question

Two forces of magnitude 50 N, as shown in the figure below, act on a cylinder of radius 4 m and mass 6.25 kg. The cylinder, which is initially at rest, sits on a frictionless surface. After 1 second, the velocity and angular velocity of the cylinder in m/s and rad/s are respectively

A mass m = 4.0 kg is connected, as shown, by a light cord to a mass M = 6.0 kg, which slides on a smooth horizontal surface. The pulley rotates about a frictionless axle and has a radius R = 0.12 m and a moment of inertia I = 0.090 kg × m2. The cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of m?

2.4 m/s2 2.8 m/s2 3.2 m/s2 4.2 m/s2 1.7 m/s2

Explanation / Answer

1) since the forces are acting in opposite direction and are equal in magnitude

v=0 m/s

consider angular forces acting on the body through centre of solid cylinder

I of solid cylinder = MR2/2

since the lowermost force is passing through centre the due to the force is 0

50 * 4 = 6.25* 16 /2

= 4rad/s2

f = i + t

f= 4rad/s

option 2

2)consider the acceleration of system of the two blocks = a

for anticlockwise rotation

a = r

T1 (tension due to mass M ) = -Ma =- 6a

T2 - mg = ma

T2 = 40+4a

I = R (T1 - T2)

0.09 a = 0.12 * 0.12 (-6a - 40- 4a)

0.09a = 0.0144(-10a-40)

6.25a=(-10a-40)

16.25a =- 40

a = 40/16.25 =- 2.46m/s2

acceleration of the blocks is 2.46 m/s2 towards right and downwards
