Answer:
T = mg/6
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram (see attached). There are two tension forces acting upward at the edge of the cylinder, and weight at the center acting downwards.
The center rotates about the point where the cords touch the edge. Sum the torques about that point:
∑τ = Iα
mgr = (1/2 mr² + mr²) α
mgr = 3/2 mr² α
g = 3/2 r α
α = 2g / (3r)
(Notice that you have to use parallel axis theorem to find the moment of inertia of the cylinder about the point on its edge rather than its center.)
Now, sum of the forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
2T − mg = m (-a)
2T − mg = -ma
Since a = αr:
2T − mg = -mαr
Substituting expression for α:
2T − mg = -m (2g / (3r)) r
2T − mg = -2/3 mg
2T = 1/3 mg
T = 1/6 mg
The tension in each cord is mg/6.
Answer:
I = 0.287 MR²
Explanation:
given,
height of the object = 3.5 m
initial velocity = 0 m/s
final velocity = 7.3 m/s
moment of inertia = ?
Using total conservation of mechanical energy
change in potential energy will be equal to change in KE (rotational) and KE(transnational)
PE = KE(transnational) + KE (rotational)
v = r ω
I = 0.287 MR²
