Question

A 160 g, 47.0-cm-diameter turntable rotates onfrictionless bearings at 51.0 rpm. A 25.0 g block sits atthe center of the turntable. A compressed spring shoots the blockradically outward along a frictionless groove in the surface of theturntable. What is the turntable's rotation angularvelocity when the block reaches the outer edge? A 160 g, 47.0-cm-diameter turntable rotates onfrictionless bearings at 51.0 rpm.

Explanation / Answer

It = (1/2)mr2    = (1/2)160(47.0/2)2    =44180 g*cm2 Ib = mr2     = 25.0(47.0/2)2     = 13806.25 g*cm2 I = It + Ib = 57986.25g*cm2 2 = 1(44180/57986.25)       = 51(44180/57986.25)       = 38.857 rpm
2 = 1(44180/57986.25)       = 51(44180/57986.25)       = 38.857 rpm
