Q19. A 5-lb ball B is traveling around in a horizontal circle of radius ₁ = 4.6 ft with a speed (VB)₁ = 4.9 ft/s. If the attached cord is pulled down through the hole with a constant speed v₁ = 2.1 ft/s, determine how far is the ball from the hole when the ball reaches a speed of 15 ft/s. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 2 places after the decimal point, and proper unit. B ri (VB)1 Your Answer: Answer Vr units
To find-:
The final distance of ball from the hole.
Given-:
The weight of the ball is .
The initial radius of rotation of ball is .
The initial speed of the ball is .
The speed of the chord with which it is being pulled is .
The final speed of the ball is .
FBD-:
Calculations-:
At given final position, the net velocity of the ball is the resultant of final tangential velocity of ball and velocity of cord i.e-:
(1)
Substitute the value of and in equation (1).
Since, there is no external torque, hence angular momentum will remains conserved. So, initial angular momentum is equal to final angular momentum.
Here, is the mass of the ball and is the final distance of ball from the hole.
(2)
Substitute the value of , and in equation (2).
Thus, the final distance of ball from the hole is .
