A uniform disk of mass 10.0 kg and radius of 0.248 m spins at 302 rev/min on a low-friction axle. It must be brought to a stop in 1.00 min by a brake pad that makes contact with the disk at an average distance of 0.218 m from the axis. The coefficient of friction between the pad and the disk is 0.499. A piston in a cylinder of diameter 5.00 cm presses the brake pad against the disk. Find the pressure required for the brake fluid in the cylinder. Pa Need Help? Read It
The crank and connecting rod of a theoretical steam engine are 0.4 m and 1.6 m long, respectively. The crank makes 180 rpm in clockwise direction. When it has turned 45° from the inner dead center position, determine the: a) Velocity of piston, b) Angular velocity of connecting rod
A spherical balloon filled with nitrogen is attached to a 2.5-m-long, 0.055-kg string. The balloon has radius 0.40 m. When released, it lifts a length h of the string when it comes to rest. Find h. Assume the mass of the balloon material is 0.251 kg.
