On a compact disc (CD), music is coded in a pattern of tiny pits arranged in a track that spirals outward toward the rim of the disc. As the disc spins inside a CD player, the track is scanned at a constant linear speed of v=1.25 m/s. Because the radius of the track varies as it spirals outward, the angular speed of the disc must change as the CD is played. (See Exercise 9.20.) Let’s see what angular acceleration is required to keep constant. The equation of a spiral is r(θ)=v0+βθ, where r0 is the radius of the spiral at u=0and βis a constant. On a CD, r0is the inner radius of the spiral track. If we take the rotation direction of the CD to be positive, βmust be positive so that rincreases as the disc turns and θ increases.

  1. When the disc rotates through a small angle dθ, the distance scanned along the track is ds=rdθ. Using the above expression for r(θ), integrate dsto find the total distance sscanned along the track as a function of the total angle θthrough which the disc has rotated.
  2. Since the track is scanned at a constant linear speed v, the distance found in part (a) is equal to. Use this to find θas a function of time. There will be two solutions for θ; choose the positive one, and explain why this is the solution to choose.
  3. Use your expression for r(θ)to find the angular velocity ωz and the angular accelerationαzas functions of time. Is αzconstant?
  4. On a CD, the inner radius of the track is 25.00mm, the track radius increases by 1.55µm per revolution, and the playing time is 74.00 min . Find r0, β, and the total number of revolutions made during the playing time.
  5. Using your results from parts (c) and (d), make graphs of ωz(in rad/s) versust andαz(in rad/s2) versus t between t=0and t=74.00 min.

Angular velocity and angular acceleration

(a) Angular velocity: The pace at which an object's location angle with respect to time changes is known as its angular velocity.

ωz=dθdt

Whereωzis an angular velocity andθ is angle of rotation.

(b) Angular acceleration: The time rate of change of angular velocity is known as angular acceleration

αz=dωzdt

Where ωzis an angular velocity andαz is angular acceleration.


03

Finding the total distance s scanned along the track as a function of the total angle θ through which the disc has rotated.

Here we havedS=rdθ,.

From above equation, we can determine the total distances S=fθ.

ds=rdθds=r0+βθdθ0sds=0θr0+βθdθS-0=0θr0dθ+0θβθdθS=r0+βθ22

Step 4: Finding θ as a function of time by using s found in part (a)

In the case of uniform rectilinear motion, the distance traveled can be calculated as:

S=vt
Using the equation above, we can determine the form of functionθ=ft.

S=vtr0θ+βθ2=vtβ2θ2+r0θvt=0

The equation above is a quadratic equation so, its solution can be written in the following form:

θ=r0±r02+4β2vtβ=r0±r02+2βvtβ

In the previous equation, we will consider only positive solutions. So,

θ=r0+r02+2βvtβ

 Step 5: To find the angular velocity and angular acceleration as functions of time. 

Here we have to consider θ=ftcalculated in the part b), we can determine the change of the angular velocity over time ωz=ft, using the equation (1):

ωz=dθdt=ddtr0+r02+2βvtβ=1βddtr02+2βvt=2βv1βr02+2βvt12=vr02+2βvt

Using the equation 2 we can calculate αz=ft as

αz=dωzdt=ddtvr02+2βvt=vddtr02+2βvt12=v2βv2r02+2βvt32=βv2r02+2βvt32=βv2r02+2βvt3

Step 6: Finding r0,β and the total number of revolutions made during the playing time.

Using the parameters given from part d) we can determine the angleθ, Before, it is necessary to show βin units ofmrad.

β=1.55μmrevolution=1.55×106mrevolution1revoltuon2πrad=0.247×106 m/rad

Now, using the equation from part b) we can determine as follows.

θ=r0+r02+2βvtβ=25103 m+25103 m2+2(0.247×106 m/rad)1.25 m/s4440 s0.247106 m/rad=133697.45 revolution

Make graphs of ωz  (in rad/s ) versus  t and  αz (in rad/s2) versus   t between t=0  and  t=74.00 min from the result of part C and D.

Based on the laws calculated in the part under c ). And by applying the parameters from the part under d), it is possible to show graphs of the dependence of ωz=ft

So, we have ωz=vr02+2βvt

So, graph of above function is which is given by,

As well as αz=ft

Here we have,αz=βv2r02+2βvt3

So, graph of above function is given as

Calculate the earth’s gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth’s surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth’s surface. In view of your result, explain why it is said that astronauts are weightless when they orbit the earth in a satellite such as a space shuttle. Is it because the gravitational pull of the earth is negligibly small?

Starting with the definition 1 in. = 2.54 cm, find the number of (a) kilometers in 1.00 mile and (b) feet in 1.00 km.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

(a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car’s gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

For the hydraulic lift shown in Fig. 12.7, what must be the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force F1 is applied so that a 1520-kg car can be lifted with a force F1 of just 125 N?
