A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp

inning at 200 rpm and has a mass of 28 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the knife and the stone is 0.2. The stone slows steadily to 180 rpm in 10 s of grinding.
a) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the grindstone as it slows down?

b) With what force does the tradesman press the knife against the grindstone?

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

I = mR^2/2

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2

So the friction torque is

T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm

The friction force is

F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N

The long structure of small intestine is accommodated in small space within our body because of extensive coiling. the small intestine is highly coiled structure and thus can easily be fixed in a small space.

A speeding car collides with an unlucky bug flying across the road. Which explains why the impact doesn’t equally damage the car
velikii [3]
The bug was a lot smaller than the car, that's for sure. The car is bigger and sturdier, while the bug is smaller and frail. The bug is so frail, that rather that putting a dent in the car, it splatters all over the car. The bug is very damaged (obviously), while the car just needs a good wash.
