A counterweight of mass m= 4.10 kg is attached to a light cord that is wound around a pulley as shown in the figure below. The pulley is a thin hoop of radius R = 6.00 cm and mass M = 2.30 kg. The spokes have negligible mass. What is the net torque on the system about the axle of the pulley? When the counterweight has a speed v, the pulley has an angular speed ? = v/R. Determine the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the system about the axle of the pulley. Using your result from (b) and τ = (dL) / (dt), calculate the acceleration of the counterweight. (Enter the magnitude of the acceleration.)

Question

A counterweight of mass m= 4.10 kg is attached to a light cord that is wound around a pulley as shown in the figure below. The pulley is a thin hoop of radius R = 6.00 cm and mass M = 2.30 kg. The spokes have negligible mass.

  1. What is the net torque on the system about the axle of the pulley?
  2. When the counterweight has a speed v, the pulley has an angular speed ? = v/R. Determine the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the system about the axle of the pulley.
  3. Using your result from (b) and τ = (dL) / (dt), calculate the acceleration of the counterweight. (Enter the magnitude of the acceleration.)
