Question
Constants Periodic Table An Atwood machine consists of two masses, mA-7.0 kg and mB 8.3 kg, connected by a cord that passes over a pulley free to rotate about a fixed axis. The pulley is a solid cylinder of radius Ro 0.40 m and mass 0.80 kg Part A Determine the magnitude of the acceleration a of each mass. Express your answer using two significant figures. as m/s2 Submit Request Answer - Part B What percentage of error in a would be made if the moment of inertia of the pulley were gnored? Ignore friction in the pulley bearings Express your answer using two significant figures. Error " % So Request Answer SubmitExplanation / Answer
(A) Applying F_net = m a
8.3g - T1 = 8.3a ..... (i)
and T2 - 7g = 7 a ..... (ii)
Net torque = I alpha
R( T1 - T2) = (0.80 R^2 / 2)(a/R)
T1 - T2 = 0.40 a .... (iii)
(i) +(ii) + (iii) =>
8.3g - 7g = (8.3 + 7 + 0.40) a
a = 0.81 m/s^2
(B) if pullye is ignored then T1= T2
so (i) + (ii) => 8.3g - 7g = (8.3 + 7) a
a = 0.83 m/s^2
%error = ((0.83 - 0.81)/(0.81)) x 100
= 2.7 %
-----------------------------------------
L = r x p
L = (2.7j + 4.2k) x (1(7.2i + 6j))
L = - 19.44 k + 30.24j - 25.2 i
(A) - 25.2 , 30.24, - 19.44
(B) torque= r x F
= (2.7j + 4.2k) x (4.7 i)
= - 12.7 k + 19.7 j
Ans: 0, 19.7, - 12.7
