Rope BCA passes through a pulley at point C and supports a crate at point A. Rope segment CD supports the pulley and is attached
to an eye anchor embedded in a wall. Rope segment BC creates an angle of ϕ = 51.0 ∘ with the floor and rope segment CD creates an angle θ with the horizontal. If both ropes BCA and CD can support a maximum tensile force Tmax = 120 lb , what is the maximum weight Wmax of the crate that the system can support? What is the

Answer:
(a) 3107.98 J
(b) 14530.6 J
Explanation:
mass, m = 3.56 kg
angular speed, ω = 179 rad/s
Moment of inertia of solid cylinder, I = 1/2 mr^2
where, m is the mass and r be the radius of the cylinder.
(a) radius, r = 0.330 m
I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.330 x 0.330 = 0.194 kgm^2
The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by
K = 0.5 x 0.194 x 179 x 179 = 3107.98 J
(b) radius, r = 0.714 m
I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.714 x 0.714 = 0.907 kgm^2
The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by
K = 0.5 x 0.907 x 179 x 179 = 14530.6 J
