Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Initial speed down the string is1.3m/s

02

Understanding the concept of motion

Here,the concept of the period, velocity is used

Formula:

The acceleration of the center of the mass,

acom=g1+IcomMR02

where,gis the acceleration due to gravity,Icomis the moment of inertia of center of mass,is the mass of the object,is the distance of the central axis to thR0e surface of the object.

03

 Calculation of theperiod

(a)

The acceleration is given by

acom=g1+IcomMR02

Where upward is the positive translational direction. Taking the coordinate origin at the initial position.

ycom=vcom,0t+12acomt2=vcom,0t-12gt21+IcomMR02gt2-2t1+IcomMR02vcom,0+2ycom1+IcomMR02=0

The roots of the above quadratic equation can be given as follows:

a=g,b=-21+IcomMR02vcom,0,c=2ycom1+IcomMR02t=--21+IcomMR02vcom,0±-21+IcomMR02vcom,02-4g2ycom1+IcomMR022g=1+IcomMR02vcom,0±1+IcomMR02vcom,02-g2ycom1+IcomMR02g=1+IcomMR02vcom,0±vcom,02-2gycom1+IcomMR02g

Whereycom=-1.2m,andvcom,0=-1.3m/s

Substituting,Icom=0.000095kg.m2,M=0.12kg

R0=0.0032m,andg=9.8m/s2

We use the quadratic formula and we find the following values as:

t=1+IcomMR02vcom,0±vcom,02-2gycom1+IcomMR02g=1+0.000095(0.12)(0.0032)2-1.3±-1.32-2(9.8)(-1.2)1+0.000095(0.12)(0.0032)29.8=-21.7or0.885

We choose t = 0.89 s as the answer

04

Calculation of thetotal kinetic energy

(b)

Initial potential energy isUi=mghandh=1.2m(using the bottom as the reference level for computing.

The initial kinetic energy is

K=12Icomω2+12Mvcom2. . . Eq.11 -5

Where the initial angular and linear speeds are related by. . . Eq.11-2

Energy conservation leads to

Kf=Kf+Uf=12mv2com,0+12Ivcom,0R02+Mgh=12(0.12kg)+(1.3m/s)2+12(9.5×10-5kg.m2)1.3m/s0.0032m2+(0.12kg)(9.8m/s2)(1.2m)=9.4J

Thetotal kinetic energy is.9.4J

05

Calculation of thelinear speed

(c)

As it reaches the end ofthe string, its center ofmass velocity is given by Eq.11-2

vcom=vcom,0+acomt=vcom,0-gt1+IcomMR02=-1.3m/s-(9.8m/s2)(0.885s)1+0.000095kg.m2(0.12kg)(0.0032m)2=-1.41m/s

Thus, we obtain

So, its linear speed at that moment is approximately 1.4 m

06

Calculation of thetranslation kinetic energy

(d)

The translational kinetic energy is

12v2com=12(0.12kg)(-1.41m/s)2=0.12J

The translation kinetic energy is.0.12J

07

Calculation of theangular velocity at that moment

(e)

The angular velocity at that moment is given by

ω=v2comR0=-1.41m/s0.0032m=441rad/s4.4×102rad/s

The angular speed is4.4×102rad/s

08

 Calculation of therotational kinetic energy

(f)

The rotational kinetic energy is

12Icomω2=12(9.50×10-5kg.m2)(441rad/s)2=9.2J

Therotational kinetic energy is9.2J
