Answer:
Explanation:
STEP 1
<u>Given</u>
Radius of cylinder = r = 25cm, 2.5m
mass = 27kg
cylinder is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is parallel to and 60cm to the central logitudinal axis of the cylinder
height = 0.6m
<u>part 1</u>
The cylinder is mounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis tha is paralle to 60cm from the central longitudinal axis of then cylinder. The rotational inertia of the cylinder about the axis of rotation is given by
<em>I = Icm + mh²</em>
<em>∴ I = 1/2mr² + mh² = 1/2x27x (0.5)² + 20 x (0.6)²</em>
<em>I=13.09kg.m²</em>
where
<em>I</em>cm is the rotational inertia of the cylinder about its central axis
m is the mass of the cylinder
h is the distance between the axis of the rotation and the central axis of the cylinder
r is the radius of the cylinder
<em> </em><em> I=13.09kg.m²</em>
<em>part2</em>
<em>from the conservation of the total mechanical energy of the meter stick, the change in gravitational potential energyof the meter stick plus the change in kinetic energy must be zero</em>
<em>Δk + Δu = 0</em>
<em>1/2 </em>I(w²-w²) = Ui-Uf
1/2 x 13.09w² = mgh
∴w=√20 x 9.8 x 0.6/(1/2 x 13.09) =117.6/6.5
w=18.09rad/s
Answer:
468 m
Explanation:
So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.
The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m
We can calculate the angle ECD:


This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:



So the height of the building is 468m
