The X-axis of the H-R Diagram indicates the star's surface temperature in degrees Kelvin.  The Y-axis, on the other hand, indicates luminosity, or brightness.

Main sequence refers to a roughly diagonal, slightly S-curved line stretching between the upper-left and lower-right corners on which main sequence stars chart. They maintain a predictable relationship between luminosity and temperature: the brighter, the hotter. The upper-right quadrant of the H-R diagram is home to newly discovered red giants while the lower-left quadrant of the H-R Diagram belongs almost exclusively to white dwarfs.

A bucket of mass m is hanging from the free end of a rope whose other end is wrapped around a drum (radius R, mass M) that can r
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension .

Applying newton's second law on the downward movement of the bucket

mg - T = ma

On the drum , a torque of TR will be acting which will create an angular acceleration of α in it . If I be the moment of inertia of the drum

TR = Iα

TR = Ia/ R

T =  Ia/ R²

Replacing this value of T in the other equation

mg - T = ma

mg - Ia/ R²  = ma

mg =  Ia/ R² +ma

a ( I/ R² +m)= mg

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

mg - T = ma

mg - ma  = T

mg - m x mg / ( I/ R² +m) = T

mg - m²g / ( I/ R² +m ) = T

mg - mg / ( 1 + I / m R² ) = T

b ) T =  Ia/ R²

I = TR² / a

c ) Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder

I = 1/2  M ( R² - R² / 4 )

= 3/4 x 1/2 MR²

= 3/8 MR²

I / R² = 3/8 M

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

a = mg / ( 3/8 M + m )

T =  Ia/ R²

= 3/8 MR² x mg / ( 3/8 M + m ) x 1 /R²

= \frac{3mMg}{(3M +8m)}
