Question

If the satellite has a mass of 3900 kg , a radius of 4.3 m , and the rockets each add a mass of 210 kg , what is the required steady force of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 30 rpm in 5.4 min , starting from rest?

Answer 1

Answer:

The required steady force of each rocket is 28.79 N

Explanation:

mass of the satellite, M=3900 kg

radius, r=4.3 m

mass of rocket, m=210 kg

time, t=5.4 min

Moment of Inertia:

I = 1/2 (Mr^2) + 4mr^2

I = 1/2 ( 3900* (4.3)^2) + 4 (210)*(4.3)^2

I = 51587.1 kg m^2

the angular acceleration is:

a= w/t

here w= 2*π*30

so,

a= 2*π*30 / 5.4* 3600

a=0.0096 rad/ s^2

the Torque becomes:

T=I*a = 4r*F

( 51587.1 )*(0.0096) = 4*4.3* F

F= 28.79 N

the required steady force of each rocket is 28.79 N
