A 1.5 kg block and a 2.7 kg block are attached to opposite ends of a light rope. The rope hangs over a solid, frictionless pulley that is 29cm in diameter and has a mass of 0.78kg. The pulley can be modeled as a cylinder. When the blocks are released, what is the acceleration of the lighter block?
A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about an axis at perpendicular to one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are 0.765 m and 1.27 kg respectively. A force of constant magnitude ?F acts on the rod at the end opposite the rotation axis. The direction of the force is perpendicular to both the rod's length and the rotation axis. Calculate the value of ?F that will accelerate the rod from rest to an angular speed of 6.21 rad/s in 9.91 s
Two hangers are attached by a string to a vertically mounted pulley system as shown. One disk is bigger than the other, and the disks are attached to each other such that they rotate together. The axle has negligible friction. The mass of the large disk is 1200 grams and the radius is 11 cm. The mass of the small disk is 400 grams and the radius is 4 cm. The high hanger has a mass of 200 grams and starts 80 cm above the ground. The lower mass starts on the ground and has a mass of 100 grams. The hangers are released from rest. What is the velocity of the 200 gram hanger when it hits the floor?
