Question

M, a solid cylinder (mass = 2.39 kg, r = 0.060 m) pivots on a thin, fixed, frictionless bearing. A string wrapped around the cylinder pulls downward with a force F which equals the weight of a 0.690 kg mass, i.e., F = 6.762 N. Calculate the angular acceleration of the cylinder. ___________ If instead of the force F an actual mass m = 0.690 kg is hung from the string, what is the angular acceleration of the cylinder. __________________ How far does m travel downward between 0.530 s and 0.730 s after the motion begins? _________________

Explanation / Answer

here,

mass , m = 2.39 kg

r = 0.06 m

when applied force ,F = 6.762 N

the accelration , a = net force /effective mass

a = F /( 0.5 *m * r^2 /r^2)

a = 6.762 /( 0.5 * 2.39)

a = 5.7 m/s^2

the angular accelration , alpha = r * a = 0.34 rad/s

when weight is hung on ,W = 6.762 N

m' = 0.69 kg

the accelration , a' = net force /effective mass

a' = F /( 0.5 *m * r^2 /r^2 + m')

a' = 6.762 /( 0.5 * 2.39 + 0.69)

a' = 3.54 m/s^2

the angular accelration , alpha' = r * a' = 0.21 rad/s

for time t1 = 0.53 s

the distance travelled , s1 = o + 0.5 * a' * t1^2

s1 = 0.5 * 3.54 * 0.53^2 = 0.527 m

for time , t2 = 0.73 s

the distance travelled , s2 = 0 + 0.5 * a' * t2^2

s2 = 0.5 * 3.54 * 0.73^2 = 0.943 m

the distance travelled between t1 and t2 , s = s2 - s1 = 0.42 m
