Question

The combination of an applied force and a friction force produces a constant total torque of 35.9 N·m on a wheel rotating about a fixed axis. The applied force acts for 5.80 s. During this time, the angular speed of the wheel increases from 0 to 10.5 rad/s. The applied force is then removed, and the wheel comes to rest in 59.2 s. (a) Find the moment of inertia of the wheel kg m (b) Find the magnitude of the torque due to friction. N-m (c) Find the total number of revolutions of the wheel during the entire interval of 65.0 s S. revolutions Need Help?Read It

Explanation / Answer

Data:

Initial angular speed, 1 = 0 rad/s

Final angular speed, 2 = 10.5 rad/s

Total torque, = 35.9 N.m

Time of acceleration, t1 = 5.80 s

Time of deceleration, t2 = 59.2 s

Solution:

(a)

2 = 1 + t1

10.5 = 0 + ( * 5.8 )

= 1.81 rad/s^2

Moment of inertia, I = /

                                    = 35.9 / 1.81

                                    = 19.83 kg.m^2

Ans:

Moment of inertia, I = 19.83 kg.m^2

(b)

When applied force is removed, then the torque is

due to only frictional force.

2 = 1 + ' t2

0 = 10.5 + ( ' * 59.2 )

' = - 0.177 rad/s^2

Magntitude of angular acceleration, ' = 0.177 rad/s^2

Frictional torque, ' = I '

                                  = 19.83 * 0.177

                                  = 3.5 N.m

Ans:

Frictional torque, ' = 3.51 N.m

(c)

During the application of force:

1 = (1/2) t1^2

     = 0.5 * 1.81 * 5.8^2

     = 30.44 rad

During the removal of force:

2 = t2 + (1/2) ' t2^2

     = 10.5 * 59.2 + [ 0.5 * - 0.177 * 59.2^2 ]

  = 311.4 rad

Total angular displacement:

= 1 + 2

   = 30.44 + 311.4

   = 341.88 rad

   = ( 341.88 / 2 ) rev

   = 54.44 rev

Ans:

= 54.44 rev
