Chapter 10: Q9P (page 287)

A drum rotates around its central axis at an angular velocity of 12.60rad/s. If the drum then slows at a constant rate of 4.20rad/s2.

(a) how much time does it take and

(b) through what angle does it rotate in coming to rest?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The time required to slow down is3.00 s

b. The angle of the rotation when it coming to rest is18.9rad

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Angular velocity of drum 12.60rad/s

Rate of slowdown α is4.20rad/s2.

02

Understanding the concept of angular velocity

We can use the kinematic equations

Formula:

ω=ω0+αtθ=ω0t+12αt2

03

Calculation of time required to slow down

(a)

t=-ω0α=3.00 s

The time required to slow down is3.00 s

04

Calculation of angle of the rotation when it coming to rest

(b)

θ-θ0=−ω022α=18.9rad

The angle of the rotation when it coming to rest is18.9rad

A disk, initially rotating at 120 rads, is slowed down with a constant angular acceleration of magnitude 120 rads2.

(a) How much time does the disk take to stop?

(b) Through what angle does the disk rotate during that time?

Two thin rods (each of mass0.20 kg) are joined together to form a rigid body as shown in Fig.10-60 . One of the rods has lengthL1=0.40 m , and the other has lengthL2=0.50m. What is the rotational inertia of this rigid body about (a) an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and passes through the center of the shorter rod and (b) an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and passes through the center of the longer rod?

Two uniform solid spheres have the same mass of1.65 kg, but one has a radius of0.226 mand the other has a radius of. Each can rotate about an axis through its center. (a) What is the magnitudeof the torque required to bring the smaller sphere from rest to an angular speed of317 rad/sin15.5 s? (b) What is the magnitudeof the force that must be applied tangentially at the sphere’s equator to give that torque? What are the corresponding values of (c)τand (d)for the larger sphere?
