Because of your success in physics class you are selected for an internship at a prestigious bicycle company in its research and

development division. Your first task involves designing a wheel made of a hoop that has a mass of 1.00 kg and a radius of 50.0 cm, and spokes with a mass of 10.0 g each. The wheel should have a total moment of inertia 0.280 kg⋅m2. (a) How many spokes are necessary to construct the wheel? (b) What is the mass of the wheel?

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.

The given values can be defined as,

$M = 1.0 kg$

$r = 0.5 m$

$m = 10 g$

$I = 0.280 kg.m^2$

According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,

$I = I_{rim} + n * I_{spoke}$

Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.

$I_{rim} = M*r^2 = 1.0 * 0.5^2$

$I_{spoke} = \frac{1}{3} * m * r^2 = \frac{1}{3}* 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2$

Replacing the values at the general equation we have,

$0.280 = 1.0 * 0.5^2 + n * (1/3 * 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2 )$

Solving for n,

$n = 36$

Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36

PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then

$M_w= M + n*m$

$M_w = 1.0 + 36* 10 * 10^{-3} Kg$

$M_w = 1.36 Kg$

Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg

To determine the trajectory of the movement of a material point in the xOz plane that is subjected simultaneously to oscillation

nasty-shy [4]

We are to show that the given parametric curve is a circle.

The trajectory of a circle with a radius r will satisfy the following relationship:

$(x-x_c)^2 + (y-y_c)^2 = r^2$

(with (x_c,y_c) being the center point)

We are given the x and y in a parametric form which can be further rewritten (using properties of sin/cos):

$x(t) = A\sin \pi(t+1) = A\sin (\pi t + \pi) = -A\sin \pi t\\y(t) = A\sin (\pi t + \frac{\pi}{2}) = A\cos \pi t$

Squaring and adding both gives:

$x^2(t) + y^2(t) = A^2(-1)^2\sin^2 \pi t + A^2 \cos^2 \pi t = A^2\\\implies x^2 + y^2 = A^2$

The last expression shows that the given parametric curve is a circle with the center (0,0) and radius A.

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)= 800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

$I \omega_i = I' \omega_f$

$(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f$

$M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f$

$3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f$

$2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f$

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567

Lynna [10]

Answer:

IMA of given system = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

Explanation:

The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .

Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by $F_{r}$ . The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. $F_{e}$ .

Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .
Its mathematical reference would be:

IMA = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$
