Since the net force is to the right (in the direction of the applied force), then the applied force must be greater than the friction force. The friction force can be determined using an understanding of net force as the vector sum of all the forces.

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:

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

Explanation:

magnitude is the sum of the squares.

$\sqrt{5^2+8^2} =9.4339\\$

If you are given horizontal and vertical components, treat those as the rise and run of a triangle, the rise of 8 with a run of 5 and you want to find the hypotenuse.
