Question

You push on a rectangular door at the location of the knob. The door s mass is 65.1 Kg, and it's side-to-side width is 2.32 m. The knob is located 0.11m from the right-hand side of the door. If you push with a force of 168 N, what will the be the doors angular acceleration as it swings on its hinges? (Note: the moment of inertia of the door of mass M and width x, swinging on its hinges, is (1/3) M x^2.)

A) 1.34 rad/s^2
B) 3.18 rad/s^2
C) 2.23 rad/s^2
D) 5.09 rad/s^2

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 .
