Two masses —m1 and m2— are connected by light cables to the perimeters of two cylinders of radii r1 and r2 respectively, as show

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Mass of m2 is given as

$m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg$

Part b)

Angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2$

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

$T = 176.6 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

When m1 and m2 both connected to the cylinder then the system is at rest

so we can use torque balance here

$m_1g r_1 = m_2 g r_2$

$20 g(0.5) = m_2 g(1.5)$

$10 = 1.5 m_2$

$m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg$

Part b)

When block m_2 is removed then system becomes unstable

so force equation of mass m1

$m_1g - T = m_1 a$

also we have

$T r_1 = I\alpha$

now we have

$m_1g = \frac{I a}{r_1^2} + m_1 a$

$a = \frac{m_1g}{\frac{I}{r_1^2} + m_1}$

$a = \frac{20 (9.81)}{\frac{45}{0.5^2} + 20}$

$a = 0.981 m/s^2$

so angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{a}{r_1}$

$\alpha = \frac{0.981}{0.5}$

$\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2$

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

$T = \frac{I\alpha}{r_1}$

$T = \frac{45 (1.96)}{0.5}$

$T = 176.6 N$

A 0.540-kg bucket rests on a scale. Into this bucket you pour sand at the constant rate of 56.0 g/s. If the sand lands in the bu

romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 12.8212 N

b) 12.642 N

Explanation:

Mass of bucket = m = 0.54 kg

Rate of filling with sand = 56.0 g/ sec = 0.056 kg/s

Speed of sand = 3.2 m/s

g= 9.8 m/sec2

<u>Condition (a);</u>

Mass of sand = Ms = 0.75 kg

So total mass becomes = bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

== > total weight = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N

Now impact of sand = rate of filling × velocity = 0.056 × 3.2 = 0.1792 kg. m /sec2=0.1792 N

Scale reading is sum of impact of sand and weight force ;

i-e

scale reading = 12.642 N+0.1792 N = 12.8212 N

<u>Codition (b);</u>

bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

==>weight = mg = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N (readily calculated above as well)

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun

Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.
