Question

A large solid disk with radius r_b= 1.1m has a second, smaller solid disk with radius r_s= 0.32m and mass m_s= 3.5kg attached to it. Wrapped around the smaller disk is an ideal string with a hanging mass m_h= 2.3kg attached to it. The hanging mass starts out a distance y_i= 5.2m above the ground as shown in Figure 1, and falls towards the ground with constant speed.

a) What is the torque about the center of the pulleys? Remember torque is a vector.

b) What should the mass of the larger pulley be such that the system of pulleys has an angular acceleration of α = 1.2rad/s ?

c) How long will it take the hanging mass to hit the ground?

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
