Question

A hanging weight, with a mass of m1 = 0.365 kg, is attached by a string to a block with mass m2 = 0.825 kg as shown in the figure below. The string goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R1 = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As the weight falls, the block slides on the table, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is k = 0.250. At the instant shown, the block is moving with a velocity of vi = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley. Assume that the pulley is free to spin without friction, that the string does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley, and that the mass of the string is negligible. Using energy methods, find the speed of the block (in m/s) after it has moved a distance of 0.700 m away from the initial position shown.

Answer 1

The speed of the block after it has moved the given distance away from the initial position is 1.1 m/s.

Angular Speed of the pulley

The angular speed of the pulley after the block m1 fall through a distance, d, is obatined from conservation of energy and it is given as;

K.E = P.E

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2 = mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0^2 + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2(m_1R^2_2 + m_2R_2^2) + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2( \frac{1}{2} MR_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} MR_2^2) = m_1gd- \mu_km_2gd\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0^2 + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2[R_2^2(m_1 + m_2)+ \frac{1}{2} M(R_1^2 + R_2^2)] = gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)$

$\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0 + \frac{1}{4} \omega^2[2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\2m_2v_0 + \omega^2 [2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\\omega^2 [2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2\\\\\omega^2 = \frac{ 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2}{2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)} \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{ 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2}{2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)}}$

Substitute the given parameters and solve for the angular speed;

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{ 4(9.8)(0.7)(0.365 \ - \ 0.25\times 0.825) - 2(0.825)(0.82)^2}{2(0.03)^2(0.365 \ + \ 0.825)\ \ +\ \ 0.35(0.02^2\ + \ 0.03^2)}} \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3.25}{0.00214\ + \ 0.000455 } } \\\\\omega = 35.39 \ rad/s$

Linear speed of the block

The linear speed of the block after travelling 0.7 m;

v = ωR₂

v = 35.39 x 0.03

v = 1.1 m/s

Thus, the speed of the block after it has moved the given distance away from the initial position is 1.1 m/s.
