EXAMPLE 10.9Calculating Helicopter EnergiesA typical small rescue helicopter, similar to the one in Figure 10.18, has four blades, each is 4.00 m longand has a mass of 50.0 kg. The blades can be approximated as thin rods that rotate about one end of anaxis perpendicular to their length. The helicopter has a total loaded mass of 1000 kg. (a) Calculate therotational kinetic energy in the blades when they rotate at 300 rpm. (b) Calculate the translational kineticenergy of the helicopter when it flies at 20.0 m/s, and compare it with the rotational energy in the blades.(c) To what height could the helicopter be raised if all of the rotational kinetic energy could be used to liftit?Solution for (a)The rotational kinetic energy is1KErot = lu.10.73We must convert the angular velocity to radians per second and calculate the moment of inertia before wecan find KErot - The angular velocity w israd= 31.4300 rev 27 rad 1.00 minW =10.741.00 min1 rev60.0 sThe moment of inertia of one blade will be that of a thin rod rotated about its end, found in Figure 10.12.The total I is four times this moment of inertia, because there are four blades. Thus,(50.0 kg)(4.00 m)²I = 4-= 4 x3= 1067 kg · m?.10.753Entering w and I into the expression for rotational kinetic energy givesKErot = 0.5(1067 kg - m²)(31.4 rad/s)²10.76= 5.26 x 105 JSolution for (b)Translational kinetic energy was defined in Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation. Entering the givenvalues of mass and velocity, we obtain1KEtrans =mv² =(0.5)(1000 kg)(20.0 m/s)² = 2.00 × 105 J.10.77To compare kinetic energies, we take the ratio of translational kinetic energy to rotational kinetic energy.This ratio is2.00 x 105 J= 0.380.10.785.26 x 105 JSolution for (c)At the maximum height, all rotational kinetic energy will have been converted to gravitational energy. Tofind this height, we equate those two energies:KErot = PEgrav10.79orlu = mgh.- Iw?10.80We now solve for h and substitute known values into the resulting equation5.26 x 105 Jh =mg= 53.7 m.10.81(1000 kg) (9.80 m/s²) 5.

I. Express the kinetic energy of the body rotating about an axis through its center of mass. il. Express the relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity. As shown in the figure, a spherical shell of mass M = 5 kg and radius R = 0.2 m rotates without friction on a vertical bearing. A light string wound on the equator of the spherical crust, after passing through a pulley with a moment of inertia / = 0.18 kg.m² and a radius of r= 0.3 m, was attached to an object of mass m = 2 kg that can fall freely under the effect of gravity. The object was initially at rest. It was then released to let the object fall. Using the principle conservation of energy, find its linear velocity after it falls through a height h = 1 m. (Assume the moment of inertia of the sphere to be MR-). M

The diameter of the circle in which the discus moves is about 1.9 m. If the thrower takes 1.2 s to complete one revolution, starting from rest, what will be the speed of the discus at release?
