A 2.00-kg textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diameter

is 0.150 m, to a hanging book with mass 3.00 kg. The system is released from rest, and the books are observed to move 1.20 m in 0.800 s. (a) What is the tension in each part of the cord? (b) What is the moment of inertia of the pulley about its rotation axis?

Given that,

Mass of textbook Mb = 2kg

Initially at rest Ub=0m/s

diameter of pulley d = 0.15m

Then, the radius is r = d/2 =0.15/2 = 0.075m

A hang book of mass Mh = 3kg

Initial at rest too Uh = 0m/s

Distance moved = 1.2m in t = 0.8s

Check attachment for free body diagram and better understanding

Analysis of the mass of textbook on table

Using Newton second law

ΣFx = m•ax

T1 = Mb•ax

T1 = 2•ax, ............ equation 1

Now, analysis of the hanged body

Using the same newton's law

ΣFy = m•ay

T2 — Mh•g = —3•ay,

ay is negative because it is moving in the negative direction

Then, T2 = Mh•g — 3•ay

T2 = 3×9.81 —3•ay

T2 = 29.43 — 3•ay, ............... equation 2

Now, the body moves 1.2m in t=0.8second

The initial velocity of the body is 0m/s

Using equation of motion to calculate the acceleration (a)

S=ut+½at²

1.2 = 0•t + ½ × a × 0.8²

1.2 = 0 + 0.32a

0.32a =1.2

a = 1.2/0.32

a = 3.75m/s²

Since the body are connected by an I inextensive string, their acceleration are the same i.e. ax=ay=a=3.75m/s²

So, back to equation 1

T1 = 2•ax

T1 = 7.5 N

Also, back to equation 2

T2 = 29.43 — 3•ay

T2 = 29.43 — 3 × 3.75

T2 = 29.43 — 11.25

T2 = 18.18 N

b. Torque?

Modelling the pulley as a rigid body

Then, applying equilibrium of torque

Clockwise torque = anti-clockwise torque

Σ τ = (T2-T1)r = Iα

Where α is angular acceleration

Relationship between angular acceleration and radial acceleration is given as a=αr

Therefore,

(T2-T1)r = Iα

Since α=a/r

(T2-T1) = Ia/r

Cross multiply

(T2-T1)r² = Ia

(18.18 — 7.5) × 0.075² = I(3.75)

10.68×0.075² = 3.75I

0.060075 = 3.75I

Then, I = 0.060075/3.75

I = 0.01602 kgm²

I ≈ 0.016 kgm²

Then, the moment of inertia is 0.016 kgm²

Stairway must have uniform riser height and tread depth; variations in riser height or tread depth shall not be over _______ inc
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

\frac{3}{8} inches

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than \frac{3}{8} inches that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the  \frac{81}{4} inch  but variation in riser height should not exceed to \frac{3}{8} inches. The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm

Weak magnetic fields can be measured at the surface of the brain. Although the currents causing these fields are quite complicat
STALIN [3.7K]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow diameter of the sphere then,

a = 0.08m

Thus z = a

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}

Re-arrange to find I,

I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}

I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}

I = 1.08*10^{-6}A

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is 1.08*10^{-6}A
