Question
An approximate model for a ceiling fan consists of a cylindrical disk with four thin rods extending from the disk's center, as in the figure
below. The disk has mass 2.30 kg and radius 0.200 m. Each rod has mass 0.850 kg and is 0.840 m long.
HINT
(a) Find the ceiling fan's moment of inertia about a vertical axis through the disk's center. (Enter your answer in kg. m².)
kg - m²
(b) Friction exerts a constant torque of magnitude 0.113 Nm on the fan as it rotates. Find the magnitude of the constant torque
provided by the fan's motor if the fan starts from rest and takes 15.0 s and 16.5 full revolutions to reach its maximum speed. (Enter
your answer in N. m.)
