A 30-cm-diameter, 1.2 kg solid turntable rotates on a 1.2-cm-diameter, 450 g shaft at a constant 33 rpm. When you hit the stop switch, a brake pad presses against the shaft and brings the turntable to a halt in 15 seconds. How much friction force does the brake pad apply to the shaft?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The friction force applied by the break pad is 0.52 N

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of the turntable = 12.kg
Mass of the shaft =450 gm = 0.45 kg
The diameter of the turntable = 30 cm =0.3 m
radius = 0.15 m
The diameter of the shaft = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m
So radius of shaft =0.006m
Time taken to stop = 15 sec

The initial angular speed of the turntable =33 rpm = 3.45 rad/s

Final speed =0

02

Explanation

Moment of inertia of turn table ( consider disk) is

I=MR22..............................(1)

Substitute the values we get

I=(1.2kg)(0.15m)22=0.0135kg.m2

Find the retardation using

α=ωf-ωitsubstitutevalues,α=0rad/s-3.45rad/s15s=-0.23rad/s2

Now find the frictional force by equating torque

f=Iαrsubstitutevalues,f=(0.0135kg.m2)(0.23rad/s2)0.006m=0.52N

A rod of length L and mass M has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ= cx2, where x is measured from the center of the rod and c is a constant.

a. What are the units of c?
b. Find an expression for c in terms of L and M.
c. Find an expression in terms of L and M for the moment of inertia of the rod for rotation about an axis through the center.

The two blocks in FIGURE CP12.86 are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley is 12 cm in diameter and has a mass of 2.0 kg. As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.50 N m. If the blocks are released from rest, how long does it take the 4.0 kg block to reach the floor?

A 75 g, 30-cm-long rod hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axle passing through its center. A 10 g ball of clay traveling horizontally at 2.5 m/s hits and sticks to the very
bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod (with the attached ball of clay) rotate?

An 18-cm-long bicycle crank arm, with a pedal at one end, is attached to a 20-cm-diameter sprocket, the toothed disk around which the chain moves. A cyclist riding this bike increases her pedaling rate from 60rpm to 90 rpm in 10s .

a. What is the tangential acceleration of the pedal?

b. What length of chain passes over the top of the sprocket during this interval?
