Answer:
t = 5.89 s
Explanation:
To calculate the time, we need the radius of the pulley and the radius of the sphere which was not given in the question.
Let us assume that the radius of the pulley () = 0.4 m
Let the radius of the sphere (r) = 0.5 m
w = angular speed = 150 rev/min = (150 × 2π / 60) rad/s = 15.708 rad/s
Tension (T) = 20 N
mass (m) = 3 kg each
Substituting values:
Answer:
A) = 1.44 kg m², B) moment of inertia must increase
Explanation:
The moment of inertia is defined by
I = ∫ r² dm
For figures with symmetry it is tabulated, in the case of a cylinder the moment of inertia with respect to a vertical axis is
I = ½ m R²
A very useful theorem is the parallel axis theorem that states that the moment of inertia with respect to another axis parallel to the center of mass is
I = + m D²
Let's apply these equations to our case
The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of the body and both arms
=
+ 2
= ½ M R²
The total mass is 64 kg, 1/8 corresponds to the arms and the rest to the body
M = 7/8 m total
M = 7/8 64
M = 56 kg
The mass of the arms is
m’= 1/8 m total
m’= 1/8 64
m’= 8 kg
As it has two arms the mass of each arm is half
m = ½ m ’
m = 4 kg
The arms are very thin, we will approximate them as a particle
= M D²
Let's write the equation
= ½ M R² + 2 (m D²)
Let's calculate
= ½ 56 0.20² + 2 4 0.20²
= 1.12 + 0.32
= 1.44 kg m²
b) if you separate the arms from the body, the distance D increases quadratically, so the moment of inertia must increase
