The rotor of an electric motor has rotational inertia Im= 2.55 x 10-3 kg-m² about its central axis. The motor is used to change the orientation of the space probe in which it is mounted. The motor axis is mounted along the central axis of the probe; the probe has rotational inertia Ip = 5.39 kg-m² about this axis. Calculate the number of revolutions of the rotor required to turn the probe through 32.3° about its central axis. Number i Units

Problems 62 and 63 are paired. 62. C A disk is rotating around a fixed axis that passes through its center and is perpendicular to the face of the disk.

How does the angular speed v of the disk at point H compare with the angular speed of the disk at point R? b. How does the tangential speed of the disk at point H compare with the tangential speed of the disk at point R? c.

An electric motor turns a flywheel through a drive belt that joins a pulley on the motor and a pulley that is rigidly attached to the flywheel as shown in Figure P10.37. The flywheel is a solid disk with a mass of 80.0 kg and a radius R = 0.625 m. It turns on a frictionless axle. Its pulley has much smaller mass and a radius of r = 0.230 m. The tension Tu in the upper (taut) segment of the belt is 135 N, and the flywheel has a clockwise angular acceleration of 1.67 rad/s2. Find the tension in the lower (slack) segment of the belt.
