Question
A uniform wheel in the shape of a solid disk is mounted on a
frictionless axle at its center. The wheel has mass 5.00 kg and radius
0.800 m. A thin rope is wrapped around the wheel, and a block is suspended
from the free end of the rope. The system is released from rest and the
block moves downward. What is the mass of the block if the wheel turns
through 8.00 revolutions in the first 5.00 s after the block is released?

- A solid cylinder is mounted above the ground with its axis of rotation oriented horizontally. A rope is wound around the cylinder and its free end is attached to a block of mass 55.0 kg that rests on a platform. The cylinder has a mass of 255 kg and a radius of 0.490 m. Assume that the cylinder can rotate about its axis without any friction and the rope is of negligible mass. The platform is suddenly removed from under the block. The block falls down toward the ground and as it does so, it causes the rope to unwind and the cylinder to rotate. (a) What is the angular acceleration, in rad/s², of the cylinder? rad/s2 (b) How many revolutions does the cylinder make in 5 s? rev (c) How much of the rope, in meters, unwinds in this time interval?arrow_forwardA wheel of radius 0.447 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is 0.0458 kg-m2. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a 3.00 kg block that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force of magnitude P = 2.91 N is applied to the block as shown in the figure, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Take the clockwise direction to be the negative direction and assume the string does not slip on the wheel.arrow_forwardTwo blocks are connected by massless string that is wrapped around a pulley. Block 1 has a mass m1=6.00 kg, block 2 has a mass m2=2.00 kg, while the pulley has a mass of 1.00 kg and a radius of 18.0 cm. When the pulley turns, there is friction in the axel that exerts a torque of magnitude 0.410 N m. If block 1 is released from rest at a height h=1.40 m, how long does it take to drop to the floor?arrow_forward
- Consider the setup shown below. The blocks have masses 3.6 kg and 24 kg. The pulley has mass 7.4 kg, and is a uniform disc with radius 0.23 m. Assume the pulley to be frictionless, but the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.36. What is the acceleration of the blocks? Assume the 24 kg mass is descending with acceleration a. The moment of inertia of the disk is 1/2MR2 and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.arrow_forwardA small 0.400-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 3.30 m. The angular speed is 6.63 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 113N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move?arrow_forwardA uniform disk (1=1/2 mR2) has a mass of 3 kg and a radius of 2m. The disk is mounted on frictionless bearings and is used as a turntable. The turntable is initially rotating at 120 rpm (revolutions per minute, convert it to rad/s). A hollow cylinder has the same mass and radius as the disk. It is released from rest, just above the turntable, and on the same vertical axis. The hollow cylinder slips on the turntable for 0.20 s until it acquires the same final angular velocity as the turntable. (HINT: Note that some of the information given is not needed!

- 1. In the figure below, block 1 has a mass of m1 = 450 g and block 2 has a mass of m2 = 500 g. The pulley, which is mounted on a horiztonal axle with negligible friction through its center, has a radius of 5.00 cm. When released from rest, block 2 falls without the cord slipping on the pulley, travelling 75.0 cm before it reaches a speed of 0.300 m/s. What is the rotational inertia of the pulley? m2arrow_forwardA circular disk with a radius of 0.51 m is subject to 2 tangentially applied forces. The disc is fixed such that it will rotate about its center. Both forces produce a torque in the same direction. The mass of the disc is 0.58 kg. The moment of inertia of a disc is I = MR² F₁ = 2.5 N applied at the outer edge of the disc. F₂ = 5.1 N applied at a distance of 0.29 from the center of the disc.
