A block (mass = 61.2 kg) is hanging from a massless cord that is wrapped around a pulley (moment of inertia = 1/2MR2 kg · m2, wh

ere M = 14.2 kg is the mass of the pulley and R=1.5 m is its radius ), as the drawing shows. Initially the pulley is prevented from rotating and the block is stationary. Then, the pulley is allowed to rotate as the block falls. The cord does not slip relative to the pulley as the block falls. Assume that the radius of the cord around the pulley remains constant at a value of r=R=1.5 m during the block's descent, and the distance of the block at initial position to the floor is 8.0 m. What is the angular velocity in round per minute when the block drops to the floor? Use g = 10 m/s2.

Answer:

The angular velocity is  w = 53.35 \ rounds /minute

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the block is  m = 61.2kg

     The of the pulley is  M = 14.2 kg

      The radius of the pulley is  R = 1.5m

       The radius  of the cord around the pulley is  r = 1.5 m

       The distance of the block to the floor is  d = 8.0 m

         

From the question we are told that the moment of inertia of the pulley is

          I  = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 kg \cdot m^2

Substituting value  

         I = \frac{1}{2}  * 14.2 * (1.5)^2

         I = 15.975 kg \cdot m^2

Using the Newtons law we can express the force acting on the vertical axis as

              ma = mg -T

         =>  T = mg -ma

Now when the pulley is rotated that  torque generated on the massless cord as a r result of the tension T and the radius of the cord around the pulley is mathematically represented as

                  \tau = I \alpha

     Here \alpha is the angular acceleration

           Here \tau is the torque which can be equivalent to

              \tau = T r

  Substituting this above

            Tr = I \alpha      

Substituting for T

         (mg - ma ) r =  I\  r \alpha

Here a is the  linear acceleration which is mathematically represented as

           a = r\alpha

    (mg - m(r\alpha ) ) r =  I\  r \alpha

     mgr = I\alpha  + m(r\alpha ) r

    mgr = \alpha  [ I + mr^2]

   making \alpha the subject

          \alpha  = \frac{mgr}{I -mr ^2}          

   Substituting values

            \alpha  = \frac{61.2 * 1.5 * 9.8}{15.975 + (61.2 ) * (1.5)^2}

             \alpha =5.854 rad /s^2

Now substituting into the equation above to obtain the acceleration

             a = 5.854 * 1.5

                a=8.78 m/s^2

This acceleration is a = \frac{v}{t}

and v is the linear velocity with is mathematically represented as

         v = \frac{d}{t}

Substituting this into the formula acceleration

        a = \frac{d}{t^2}

making t the subject

         t = \sqrt{\frac{d}{a} }

substituting value

      t = \sqrt{\frac{8}{8.78}}

     t = 0.9545 \ s

Now the linear velocity is

       v = \frac{8}{0.9545}

       v = 8.38 m/s

The angular velocity is  

       w = \frac{v}{r}

So

       w = \frac{8.38}{1.5}

        w = 5.59 rad/s

Generally 1 radian is equal to  0.159155 rounds or turns

        So  5.59 radian is  equal to x

Now x is mathematically obtained as

         x = \frac{5.59 * 0.159155}{1}

            = 0.8892 \ rounds

 Also

      60  second =  1 minute

So   1 second  = z      

Now z is mathematically obtained as

         z = \frac{ 1}{60}

            z = 0.01667 \ minute

Therefore

              w = \frac{0.8892}{0.01667}

              w = 53.35 \ rounds /minute

A 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom
Fynjy0 [20]
First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number.  Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms.  Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing.  How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron:  1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.  
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

Ideally, 576 J  because energy is conserved.
In the real world, a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit less than 576 J ,
