To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:
Where,
F = Force
r = Radius
Replacing we have that,
The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore
Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore
PART B)
The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians , therefore
Answer:
E. Zero Maximum
Explanation:
At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:
- The restoring force is given by , where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well
- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).
