Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma

ss M-100 kg. In operation, the wheel rotates at 60.0 rev/min. While the wheel is spinning, your grandmother works clay at the center of the wheel with her hands into a pot-shaped object with circular symmetry. When the correct shape is reached, she wants to stop the wheel in as short a time interval as possible, so that the shape of the pot is not further distorted by the rotation. She pushes continuously with a wet rag as hard as she can radially inward on the edge of the wheel and the wheel stops in 6.00 s
(a) You would like to build a brake to stop the wheel in a shorter time interval, but you must determine the coefficient of friction between the rag and the wheel in order to design a better system. You determine that the maximum pressing force your grandmother can sustain for 6.00 s is 50.0N. k0.544

(b) What If? If your grandmother instead chooses to press down on the upper surface of the wheel a distance r 0.250 m from the axis of rotation, what is the force (in N) needed to stop the wheel in 6.00 s? Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wet rag and the wheel remains the same as before (Enter the magnitude.) 25.99 Remember that a torque is a product of a force and a distance.

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2

Angular acceleration is given by

\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}

Equation of rotational motion

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N

A box has a mass of 400 g. What minimum force is needed to lift it?
mart [117]

Answer: 3.92 N.

Explanation:

Your box weighs 400g, or 0.4kg. In order to lift it, you need to overcome the force of gravity. F = ma, and acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. So gravity acts on the box with a force of 0.4 kg * -9.8 m/s^2 = -3.92 N. A force of +3.92 N is required to overcome this.

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside
Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).
