- A light rope is wrapped several times around a large wheel with a radius of 0.450 m. The wheel rotates on frictionless bearings about a stationary horizontal axis, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The free end of the rope is tied to a suitcase with a mass of 17.0 kg. The suitcase is released from rest at a height of 4.00 m above the ground. The suitcase has a speed of 3.85 m/s when it reaches the ground. Calculate the angular velocity of the wheel when the suitcase reaches the ground. Calculate the moment of inertia of the wheel.arrow_forwardA light, rigid rod is 77.0 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless, horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speedat the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle?

- A ceiling fan of moment of inertia 30 kg m' rotates about its own axis at a speed of 120 r.p.m. under the action of an electric motor of power 62.8 watt. If electric power is cut off, how many rotations will it complete before coming to rest?arrow_forwardA light rope is wrapped several times around a large wheel with a radius of 0.400 m. The wheel rotates in frictionless bearings about a stationary horizontal axis, as shown in the figure below. The free end of the rope is tied to a suitcase with a mass of 15.0 kg. The suitcase is released from rest at a height of 4.00 m above the ground. The suitcase has a speed of 3.50 m/s when it reaches the ground. Calculate: What is the linear acceleration of the suitcase as it falls? (Hint: It’s not in free fall!) What is the resulting angular acceleration of the wheel? What is the angular velocity of the wheel when the suitcase hits the ground? What is the tension in the string as the suitcase falls? (Hint: It is not equal to the weight of the case! Use Newton’s Second Law!) What is the torque caused by that tension? What is the moment of inertia of the wheel?arrow_forwardWhen the electricity goes out on your campus, a backup source powers the servers that handle communications and the Internet. Rather than use batteries, many installations use a flywheel, a heavy rotating disk that spins, very rapidly, with nearly zero friction. An electric motor spins up the flywheel, which continues to spin with very little energy input. When the system needs to provide power, the flywheel’s motion is used to turn an electric generator. A typical system has a 540 kg cylinder with a radius of 0.30 m. A small electric motor provides a constant 2.8 N ⋅ m torque to spin up the cylinder. If the cylinder starts at rest, how long does it take to reach its final spin rate of 13,000 rpm?arrow_forward

What is the speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim?arrow_forwardA particular horizontal turntable can be modeled as a uniform disk with a mass of 230 g and a radius of 26.0 cm that rotates without friction about a vertical axis passing through its center. The angular speed of the turntable is 3.00 rad/s. A ball of clay, with a mass of 40.0 g, is dropped from a height of 25.0 cm above the turntable. It hits the turntable at a distance of 15.0 cm from the middle, and sticks where it hits. Assuming the turntable is firmly supported by its axle so it remains horizontal at all times, find the final angular speed of the turntable-clay system. rad/sarrow_forward
