Answer to Problem 29PP

  8.98kgm2

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The initial rotational speed of the pulley is ωi=0rad/s .

The final rotational speed of the pulley is ωf=17rev/min .

The time taken by pulley to increase the speed is, Δt=5.0s

The force with which the chain is pulled from the pulley, F=16.0N

The radius of the pulley, r=0.20m

Formula used:

The angular acceleration can be obtained by:

  α=ΔωΔt=ωfωitfti

Where, ωf is the final angular velocity, ωi is the initial angular velocity, and the Δt is the time taken.

The torque can be obtained by:

  τ=Frsinθ

Where, F is the applied force, r is the distance of the point of application of force from the axis of rotation, and θ is the angle between F and r .

And, angular acceleration can be written as,

  α=τnetI

Where, τnet is the net torque on a rotating object, and I is the moment of Inertia of the object.

Calculation:

Initial angular velocity of the rum is, ωi=0rad/s .

And, the final angular velocity is,

  ωf=17rev/min= 17rev/min×2πrad1rev×1min60s=1.78rad/s

Time taken, Δt=5.0s

Then, the angular acceleration will be,

  α=ωfωiΔt=1.7805=0.356rad/s2

Now, the torque generated on the pulley will be,

  τnet=Frsin90°=(16)(0.20)=3.2Nm

Then, it is known that the angular acceleration can be written as,

  α=τnetI

Using calculated values in above, the moment of inertia of the pulley will be,

  0.356=3.2II=8.98kgm2

Conclusion:

Thus, the moment of inertia of the pulley is 8.98kgm2 .
