Consider a mechanical clutch that consists of two heavy disks that can engage or disengage. At the beginning disk 1 with mass m1

= 12kg and diameter d1 = 60cm is at rest (f1 = 0min−1 ) and disengaged from disk 2 with mass m2 = 8kg and diameter d2 = 40cm that is rotating with a frequency of f2 = 200min−1 . When we engage the clutch both disks become connected and disk 1 is accelerated while disk 2 decelerates due to a portion of its rotational energy being used to accelerate disk 1. In full contact both disks are rotating with the same angular velocity. Calculate this final angular velocity ω and the corresponding frequency f. We are neglecting further loss of energy due to heat as a result of friction. This friction and heat is the reason why real clutches wear out over time. The moment of inertia for a solid disk can be found in the textbook.

Answer:

w = 4,786 rad / s ,  f = 0.76176 Hz

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the concept of angular momentum

       L = I w

The system is formed by the two discs, during the impact the system remains isolated, we have the forces are internal, this implies that the external torque is zero and the angular momentum is conserved

Initial Before sticking

      L₀ = 0 + I₂ w₂

Final after coupling

      L_{f} = (I₁ + I₂) w

The moments of inertia of a disk with an axis of rotation in its center are

      I = ½ M R²

How the moment is preserved

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I₂ w₂ = (I₁ + I₂) w

      w = w₂ I₂ / (I₁ + I₂)

Let's reduce the units to the SI System

      d₁ = 60 cm = 0.60 m

      d₂ = 40 cm = 0.40 m

      f₂ = 200 min-1 (1 min / 60 s) = 3.33 Hz

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w₂ = 2 π f₂

      w₂ = 2π 3.33

      w₂ = 20.94 rad / s

Let's replace

       w = w₂ (½ M₂ R₂²) / (½ M₁ R₁² + ½ M₂ R₂²)

       w = w₂ M₂ R₂² / (M₁ R₁² + M₂ R₂²)

Let's calculate

      w = 20.94 8 0.40² / (12 0.60² + 8 0.40²)

      w = 20.94 1.28 / 5.6

      w = 4,786 rad / s

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w = 2π f

      f = w / 2π

      f = 4.786 / 2π

      f = 0.76176 Hz

Each of 134 identical blocks sitting on a frictionless surface is connected to the next block by a massless string. The first bl
poizon [28]

Answer:

A. T=126N

B. T=63N

Explanation:

To determine the tension in each given blocks, we first determine the acceleration of each block. It obvious that each mass will move with the same acceleration since the string connecting them is massless.

Hence using the equation of force we have

F=ma

Where m=total mass of blocks,

a=acceleration

F= force applied in this case the tension in the string.

For a 134 identical masses with an applied force of 134N, the acceleration of each mass can be computed as

134=134m*a

a=134/134m

a=(1/m )m/s²

a. To calculate the tension in the string between the 126 and 127 block, we use the equation below

T=ma

Since the number of blocks before the string is 126, we multiply the mass of each block by 126.

Hence the tension can be computed as

T=126m*a

Since a=1/m then

T=126m*1/m

T=126N

B.To calculate the tension in the string between the 63 and 64 block, we use the equation below

T=ma

Since the number of blocks before the string is 63, we multiply the mass of each block by 63.

Hence the tension can be computed as

T=63m*a

Since a=1/m then

T=63m*1/m

T=63N
