Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The angular displacement of the body at t = 0 is θ=π4rad.

The angular speed of the body at t = 0 is ω=2rad/s.

The angular acceleration of the body at t = 1.5 s isα=1.25rad/s2 .

02

Concept/Significance of angular velocity and acceleration

The angular velocity of the body in the time is the ratio of the angular displacementdθ to dt.

ω=dθdt

The angular acceleration is given by,

θ=dt

03

Determine a, b, and c, including their units.(a)

Consider the given equation of displacement.

θt=a+bt-ct3

Substitute θ=π4rad, and t = 0 in equation θ(t)=a+bt-ct3.

π4rad=a+b(0)-c03a=π4rad

Find the expression for angular velocity.

ω=ddta+bt-ct3=b-3ct2.........(1)

Substituteω=2rad/s, and t = 0 in equation (1).

2rad/s=b-3c0b=rad/s

Find the expression for angular acceleration.

α=ddtb-3ct2=-6ct........(2)

Substituteα=1.25rad/s2, and t = 1.5 s in equation (2).

1.25rad/s2=-6c1.5sc=-1.25rad/s29s=-0.139rad/s3

Therefore, the values of a, b, and c are π4rad, 2 rad/s , and -0.139rad/s3, respectively.

04

Determine the angular acceleration when rad(b)

It is known thatθ=π4rad at t = 0 .

Find the angular acceleration at t = 0 as follows.

Substitute t = 0 in equation (2).

α=-6c(0)=0rad/s2

Therefore, the required angular acceleration is 0 rad/s2.

05

Determine the θ and the angular velocity when the angular acceleration is 3.50 rad/s2(c)

Substitute α=3.5rad/s2andc=0.139rad/s3 in the equation (2).

3.5rad/s2=-6(-0.139rad/s3)tt=3.5rad/s260.139rad/s3=4.2s

Substitute t=4.2s,b=2rad/sandc=0.139rad/s3 in the equation (1).

ω=2rad/s-30.139rad/s34.2s2=9.36rad/s

Substitute t=4.2s,a=π4rad,b=2rad/s andc=0.139rad/s3 in the equation .

θt=a+bt-ct3θt=π4rad+2rad/s4.2s--0.139rad/s34.2s3=19.5rad

Therefore, the value ofθ is 19.5 rad, and angular speed is 9.36 rad/s .
