Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute.

- Q2: Consider a cylindrical container that has water in it. The cylinder rotates about its axis at an angular speed of w. Upon rotation, the level of water will not remain flat; it will be curved such that it has an increasingly higher level as one moves away from the centre towards the walls of the cylinder. Consider a coordinate system that is fixed at the cylinder and rotates with at the same angular velocity. Take the z' axis to be aligned with the axis of the cylinder such that the angular velocity points along the +z' direction. The x'y plane is, hence, parallel to the cylinder base. Place your coordinate system such that the lowest point on the water surface is at the origin. Solve the following questions: (a) Consider a point mass m that is located at the surface of the water at the coordinates (x', 0, z'). Draw a free body diagram of the mass indicating the directions of the weight, the "normal" force' (FN) from the rest of the water, and all inertial (fictitious) forces.

It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 15.0 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 1.64 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall?arrow_forwardJosh has just raised a 2.5 kg bucket of water using a well’s winch when he accidentally lets go of the handle. The winch consists of a rope wrapped around a 3.0 kg, 4.0-cm-diameter cylinder, which rotates on an axle through the center. The bucket is released from rest 4.0 m above the water level of the well. How long does it take to reach the water?arrow_forward
- You have an internship working at a company that designs and produces washing and drying equipment. Your supervisor is in the process of designing a new, very large dryer to be used in commercial establishments with intense laundry needs, such as restaurants (tablecloths, napkins) and hotels (sheets, towels). In a dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet material is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis as shown in the figure below. So that the material will dry uniformly, it is made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of 62.0° above the horizontal. Your supervisor's tub is designed to have a radius of r= 1.48 m and she asks you to determine the appropriate rate of revolution.

Number Units #arrow_forwardA turntable with a mass of 12 kg and a radius of 2 meters spins at a constant angular velocity of 140 rpm. A 500-gram scoop of uniformly-dense ice cream falls onto the turntable, so the scoop's center of mass is one meter away from the turntable's center. The scoop forms a hemisphere and has a radius of 4 cm. If there's no friction between the brick and ice cream scoop and they spin at the same angular speed, what is their final angular speed, in rev/min or in rad/s?
