An electric motor turns a flywheel through a drive belt that joins a pulley on the motor and a pulley that is rigidly attached to the flywheel, as shown in the figure. The flywheel is a solid disk with a mass of 80.0 kg and a diameter of 1.25 m. It turns on a frictionless axle. Its pulley has 80 kg much smaller mass and a radius of 0.230 m. If the tension in the upper (taut) segment of the belt is 135 N and the flywheel has a clockwise angular acceleration of 1.67 rad/s2, find the tension in the lower (slack) segment of the belt.

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R = 0.540 m and mass M = 100 kg. In operation, the wheel rotates at 45.0 rev/min. While the wheel is spinning, your grandmother works clay at the center of the wheel with her hands into a pot-shaped object with circular symmetry. When the correct shape is reached, she wants to stop the wheel in as short a time interval as possible, so that the shape of the pot is not further distorted by the rotation. She pushes continuously with a wet rag as hard as she can radially inward on the edge of the wheel and the wheel stops in 6.00 s. You would like to build a brake to stop the wheel in a shorter time interval, but you must determine the coefficient of friction (?k) between the rag and the wheel in order to design a better system. You determine that the maximum pressing force your grandmother can sustain for 6.00 s is 65.0 N. What If? If your grandmother instead chooses to press…
A pulley attached to the top of a ramp has a rope wrapped around it (like a spoon of thread). Treat the pulley like a solid cylinder. The rope is attached to a solid sphere at its axle. The axle turns without friction. The system is released from rest. The rope unwinds from the pulley and the sphere rolls without slipping down the hill. The mass of the pulley is 20.0kg and has a radius of 0.250m. The 8. sphere has a mass of 50.0kg and a radius of 0.500m. The ramp makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal.

An electric motor turns a flywheel through a drive belt that joins a pulley on the motor and a pulley that is rigidly attached to the flywheel as shown in figure. The flywheel is a solid disk with a mass of 80.0 kg and a radius R=0.625 m. It turns on a frictionless axle. Its pulley has much smaller mass and a radius of r=0.230 m. The tension T u in the upper ( taut ) segment of the belt is 135 N, and the flywheel has a clockwise angular acceleration of 1.67 rad/s 2 . Find the tension in the lower (slack ) segment of the belt.
A wheel of radius 0.35 m rotates in a clockwise sense about a fixed axle with negligible friction at an initial angular speed of 2.6 rad/s. The wheel's mass of 17 kg is concentrated in its rim. You apply a clockwise torque to the rotating wheel by pushing on the rim tangentially with a constant force of 22 N. Find the wheels angular speed, in radians per second, 0.085 seconds after you start pushing on the rim.
A uniform spherical shell of mass M = 6.0 kg and radius R = 18.0 cm rotates about a vertical axis on frictionless bearings (see the figure). A massless cord passes around the equator of the shell, over a pulley of rotational inertia I = 3.60×10-3 kg m2 and radius r = 6.0 cm, and its attached to a small object of mass m = 4.0 kg. There is no friction on the pulley's axle; the cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the object after it has fallen a distance h = 1.1 m from rest: Use work - energy considerations

A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provide a means for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric cars. The gasoline burned in a 144-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 1.05 x 109 J of energy. How fast would a 18.7-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.247 m have to rotate to store this much energy? Give your answer in rev/min.
