A string is wrapped around a uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R. The cylinder is released from rest with the string vertica

l and its top end tied to a fixed bar. A uniform disk, cylindrical in shape, of mass M and radius R is suspended from a string. The top end of the string is attached to a fixed bar. The string extends down through a distance h before reaching the disk, whereupon the string winds around the cylindrical body of the disk. (a) Show that the tension in the string is one-third the weight of the cylinder. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) (b) Show that the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of gravity is 2g/3. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) (c) Show that the speed of the center of gravity is 4gh 3 1/2 after the cylinder has descended through distance h. Verify your answer to (c) with the energy approach.

Answer:

a.) W/3,  b.)2g/3   c.) (4gh/3)^0.5

Explanation:

First we have to find tension in terms of torque. To do that we have to find the moment of inertia of a rigid cylinder. From Wikipedia I get:

I = 0.5mr^2

We also know the equation for torque. Let T be the tension, r be the distance, I is the moment of inertia and alpha is angular acceleration (ignore theta because it is perpendicular)

torque = I*\alpha = T*r

We can then substitute a/r for α

Therefore we get:

I*\frac{a}{r}=T*r

Isolating T and substitute the moment of inertia in for I we get

T = [0.5mr^2]a/r^2= 0.5ma

There are two known forces acting on the cylinder, gravity and tension. The sum of these two forces gives us mass times acceleration (Newton's second law)

F = ma => mg - 0.5ma = ma\\g=\frac{3}{2}a\\a = \frac{2}{3}g

This allows us to plug acceleration back into Newton's Second Law:

mg - T = m[\frac{2}{3}g]\\ T = \frac{1}{3} mg = \frac{1}{3}w

w = the weight

For part b, we solved in part a:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

For part c, we use the conservation of energy. We know that the sum of energy in the system is zero.

mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I(omega)^2 = 0\\(omega) = (\frac{v}{r})^2\\ I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2\\-gh +\frac{1}{2} v^2+\frac{1}{4} v^2 = 0\\gh = \frac{3}{4} v^2\\v = \sqrt{ \frac{4}{3}gh }

Wile E. Coyote stands on top of a 90-meter high cliff, looking down at the Roadrunner. If
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

33.516 kJ

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by:

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this case:

PE = 38kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 90m = 33516 kg m^2/s^2 = 33516 J = 33.516 kJ

The water line from the street to my house is 1 inch diameter and made of PVC (i.e. smooth). The line is roughly 450 ft long. Th
jekas [21]

Answer:

The right solution is "126 Psi".

Explanation:

The given values are:

P₁ = 130 psig

i.e.,

   = 130\times 6.894

   = 896.22 \ Kpa

or,

   = 896.22\times 10^3 \ Pa

Z₂ = 10ft

    = 3.05 m

\delta = 1000 kg/m³

According to the question,

Z₁ = 0

V₁ = V₂

As we know,

⇒  \frac{P_1}{\delta_g} +\frac{V_1^2}{2g} +Z_1=\frac{P_2}{\delta_g} +\frac{V_2^2}{2g} +Z_2

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  \frac{P_1}{\delta_g} +0+0=\frac{P_2}{\delta_g} +0+Z_2

⇒  \frac{896.22\times 10^3}{1000\times 9.8} =\frac{P_2}{1000\times 9.8} +3.05

⇒  P_2=866330 \ P_a

i.e.,

⇒       =866330\times 0.000145

⇒       =126 \ Psi
