The main reason the unit of mass is a fundemental unit, is because that's what the act states. However, the equations exist in a way that any set of units can be defined as fundemental. For example, the SI unit of electricity is the ampere, and the derived units do not have fractional powers.

As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis

klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

$d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

The block starts from rest, so:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2$

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

$F = ma = m_bg - T$

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

$T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N$

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

$\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT$

Rewrite:

$I\alpha = rT$

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

$\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2$

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

$I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}$

A 6.9 kg object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Determine t

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Tension, T = 87.63 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 6.9 kg

The string is acting in the upward direction, a = 2.9 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

As the lift is accelerating upwards, it means the net force acting on it is given by :

T = m(a+g)

= 6.9 (2.9+9.8)

= 6.9(2.7)

= 87.63 N

So, the tension in the string is 87.63 N.
