Answer:

100,000 times

Explanation:

Luminosity is the measure of brightness of a star. It is measured by examining the radiant energy emitted by the stars per second. Rigel's radius is about 80 times that of the Sun's radius. Therefore, its luminosity is about 100,000 times the sun’s luminosity.

Answer:

A) 1.55

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E) 57.82

Explanation:

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by

${\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R$

Similarly, torque due to A is given by

${\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R$

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by

$\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}$

Replacing ${\tau _1}$ and ${\tau _2}$ by ${T_{\rm{A}}}R$ and $- {T_{\rm{B}}}R$ respectively yields

$\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}$

Substituting $I\alpha$ for $\tau$ in the equation $\tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

where a is the linear acceleration

Substituting $\frac{a}{R}$ for $\alpha$ into equation

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ we obtain

$\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

Net force on block A is

${F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}$

Net force on block B is

${F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g$

Where g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting ${m_{\rm{B}}}a$ and ${m_{\rm{A}}}a$ for ${F_{\rm{B}}}$ and ${F_{\rm{A}}}$ respectively into equation $\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ and making a the subject we obtain

$\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}$

Since ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 3kg and ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 7kg

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22 ${\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}$

Substituting these we obtain

$a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(B)

For block B

${a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}$

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(C)

The angular acceleration is $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$
