Question 8: Unspooling Thread (100 points) A 110 g spool of thread with a 4.2 cm radius is held up by a peg through its center a

nd allowed to freely rotate. Assume the thread is ideal (i.e., it does not stretch or slip, and its mass is negligibly small). A 160 g needle is tied to the loose end of the thread. The needle is dropped, and it accelerates to the floor as the thread unwinds. Find the tension in the thread and the magnitude of the acceleration of the needle as it falls.

Answer:

   a = 7.29 m / s²,      T = 0.40 N

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must apply Newton's second law to each body

The needle

              W -T = m a

              mg - T = ma

The spool, which we will approach by a cylinder

             Σ τ = I α

             T R = I α

the moment of inertia of a cylinder with an axis through its center is

             I = ½ M R²

angular and linear variables are related

            a = α R

            α = a / R

we substitute

           T R = (½ M R²) a / R

            T = ½ M a

we write our system of equations together

              mg - T = m a

                      T = ½ M a

we solve

              m g = (m + ½ M) a

              a = \frac{m}{m + \frac{1}{2} M}  \ g

let's calculate

              a = \frac{0.160}{0.160 + \frac{1}{2} 0.110} \ 9.8

              a = 7.29 m / s²

now we can look for the tension

              T = ½ M a

              T = ½ 0.110 7.29

               T = 0.40 N

A charge Q is distributed uniformly on a non-conducting ring of radius R and mass M. The ring is dropped from rest from a height
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Check below for the explanation

Explanation:

Since it is stated that the ring is dropped from a height, h, through a non uniform magnetic field, two kinds of force will act on the ring, namely:

  • A magnetic force (that is non uniform since the field is  non uniform)
  • Gravitational force

A certain amount of torque is provided by the non uniform magnetic force on the ring while the force gravity pulls it down. Due to the downward pull by the force of gravity on the ring and the torque acting on it as a result of the non uniform magnetic force, the ring begins to rotate.
