Answer:

d) a = 4.1 m/s²

Explanation:

m = 92 Kg

∅ = 40º

μ = 0.293

a = ?

We can obtain the forces in the direction x' (of motion)

Wx' = W*Sin ∅ = m*g*Sin ∅

Ffriction = μ*N = μ*m*g*Cos ∅

then we use Newton's 2nd Law as follows:

Wx' - Ffriction = m*a

m*g*Sin ∅ - μ*m*g*Cos ∅ = m*a

⇒   a = g*(Sin ∅ - μ*Cos ∅)

⇒   a = (9.81 m/s²)*(Sin 40º - 0.293*Cos 40º)

⇒   a = 4.1038 m/s²

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the wheel is 0.593 kg-m².

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 82.0 N

Radius r = 0.150 m

Angular speed = 12.8 rev/s

Time = 3.88 s

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=F\times r

\tau=82.0\times0.150

\tau=12.3\ N-m

Now, The angular acceleration

\dfrac{d\omega}{dt}=\dfrac{12.8\times2\pi}{3.88}

\dfrac{d\omega}{dt}=20.73\ rad/s^2

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using relation between torque and moment of inertia

\tau=I\times\dfrac{d\omega}{dt}

I=\dfrac{I}{\dfrac{d\omega}{dt}}

I=\dfrac{12.3}{20.73}

I= 0.593\ kg-m^2

Hence, The moment of inertia of the wheel is 0.593 kg-m².
