In order to determine the mass moment of inertia of a flywheel of radius 600 mm, a 12-kg block is attached to a wire that is wrapped around the flywheel. The block is released and is observed to fall 3 m in 4.6 s. To eliminate bearing friction from the computation, a second block of mass 24 kg is used and is observed to fall 3 m in 3.1 s. Assuming that the moment of the couple due to friction remains constant, determine the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel.

The system is released from rest. (a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the angular acceleration of the pulley, (b) Which cable will experience more tension, cable 1 or cable 2? Why?

What is the velocity of the center of the disk when it reaches the bottom of the slope? (Hint Use the work-energy principle. At each instant the disk rotates around the contact point C, thus the inertia used for rotatonal kinetic energy should be computed around point C not point G.) m C harrow_forwardA disk with radius R and mass m begins from rest and then moves without slipping while being pulled horizontall by a force P acting at its center axle. Show that the velocity of the wheel after T seconds is v= 2PT/3m. (Hint: use both linear and angular-impulse principles.) m REG P ¹The radius of gyration has units of length and is related to the inertia by k = IG/m. It corresponds to the distance at which a mass equivalent to the mass of the rigid body would produce the same inertia as the actual rigid body. Recall that the inertia of a particle of mass m at a distance r from an axis of ortation is mr². Rather that using r the convention is to define the radus of gyration with the symbol k.arrow_forward
