In order to determine the mass moment of inertia of a flywheel of radius 600 mm, a 12-kg block is attached to a wire that is wra

pped around the flywheel. The block is released and is observed to fall 3 m in 4.6 s. To eliminate bearing friction from the computation, a second block of mass 24 kg is used and is observed to fall 3 m in 3.1 s. Assuming that the moment of the couple due to friction remains constant, determine the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

When Mass of block is 12kg

M = 12kg

Block falls 3m in 4.6 seconds

When the mass of block is 24kg

M = 24kg

Block falls 3m in 3.1 seconds

The radius of the wheel is 600mm

R = 600mm = 0.6m

We want to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel

Taking moment about point G.

Then,

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

ΣM_G = Σ(M_G)_eff

M•g•R - Mf = I•α + M•a•R

Relationship between angular acceleration and linear acceleration

a = αR

α = a / R

M•g•R - Mf = I•a / R + M•a•R

Case 1, when y = 3 t = 4.6s

M = 12kg

Using equation of motion

y = ut + ½at², where u = 0m/s

3 = ½a × 4.6²

3 × 2 = 4.6²a

a = 6 / 4.6²

a = 0.284 m/s²

M•g•R - Mf = I•a / R + M•a•R

12 × 9.81 × 0.6 - Mf = I × 0.284/0.6 + 12 × 0.284 × 0.6

70.632 - Mf = 0.4726•I + 2.0448

Re arrange

0.4726•I + Mf = 70.632-2.0448

0.4726•I + Mf = 68.5832 equation 1

Second case

Case 2, when y = 3 t = 3.1s

M= 24kg

Using equation of motion

y = ut + ½at², where u = 0m/s

3 = ½a × 3.1²

3 × 2 = 3.1²a

a = 6 / 3.1²

a = 0.6243 m/s²

M•g•R - Mf = I•a / R + M•a•R

24 × 9.81 × 0.6 - Mf = I × 0.6243/0.6 + 24 × 0.6243 × 0.6

141.264 - Mf = 1.0406•I + 8.99

Re arrange

1.0406•I + Mf = 141.264 - 8.99

1.0406•I + Mf = 132.274 equation 2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously

Subtract equation 1 from 2,

Then, we have

1.0406•I - 0.4726•I = 132.274 - 68.5832

0.568•I = 63.6908

I = 63.6908 / 0.568

I = 112.13 kgm²

Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

Light rays in a material with index of refrection 1.35 1.35 can undergo total internal reflection when they strike the interface
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1.30

Explanation:

To calculate the critical angle we have ti use the formula:

sin\theta_c=\frac{n_2}{n_1}

where theta_c is the critical angle, n1 is the index of refraction of the material where the light is totally reflected, and n2 is the refractive index of the other material.

By taking n_2 and replacing we obtain:

n_2=n_1sin\theta_c=(1.35)sin75.1\°=1.30

hope this helps!!

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .
