Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a

great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of m = 5500 kg distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance r = 45 m from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of f = 11 rpm.
(a) Enter an expression for the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis of rotation, in terms of the defined quantities.
(b) Calculate the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis, in units of kilogram meters squared.
(c) Enter an expression for the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in terms of the defined quantities. sig.gif?tid=0N86-9A-18-43-94ED-17253
(d) Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade is in the form of rod with axis near one end of the rod

Moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Total moment of moment of 3 blades

= 3 x\frac{1}{3}  x m l²

ml²

2 )

Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Putting these values we get

moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I is moment of inertia of turbine

ω is angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade

d )

I = 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² ( Calculated )

f = 11 rpm ( revolution per minute )

= 11 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f

=  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

Angular momentum

= I x ω

111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹ .

A packing crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left, 200 N to the right,
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The resultant force would (still) be zero.

Explanation:

Before the 600-N force is removed, the crate is not moving (relative to the surface.) Its velocity would be zero. Since its velocity isn't changing, its acceleration would also be zero.

In effect, the 600-N force to the left and 200-N force to the right combines and acts like a 400-N force to the left.

By Newton's Second Law, the resultant force on the crate would be zero. As a result, friction (the only other horizontal force on the crate) should balance that 400-N force. In this case, the friction should act in the opposite direction with a size of 400 N.

When the 600-N force is removed, there would only be two horizontal forces on the crate: the 200-N force to the right, and friction. The maximum friction possible must be at least 200 N such that the resultant force would still be zero. In this case, the static friction coefficient isn't known. As a result, it won't be possible to find the exact value of the maximum friction on the crate.

However, recall that before the 600-N force is removed, the friction on the crate is 400 N. The normal force on the crate (which is in the vertical direction) did not change. As a result, one can hence be assured that the maximum friction would be at least 400 N. That's sufficient for balancing the 200-N force to the right. Hence, the resultant force on the crate would still be zero, and the crate won't move.

A 2.5 kg tribble is placed in a bucket and whirled in a 1.4 m radius vertical circle at a constant tangential speed. If the forc
Over [174]

Given that,

Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg

Radius, r = 1.4 m

The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.

To find,

The maximum tangential speed.

Solution,

The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.

F = 10mg

The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is maximum tangential speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{mgr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{{10gr}} \\\\v=\sqrt{10\times 9.8\times 1.4} \\\\v=11.7\ m/s

So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.

Potassium ions (K+) move across a 7.0 -mm- thick cell membrane from the inside to the outside. The potential inside the cell is
Reil [10]

Explanation:

Relation between potential energy and charge is as follows.

           U = qV

or,    \Delta U = q \times \Delta V

                   = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 70 \times 10^{-3}

                   = 112 \times 10^{-22} J

or,                = 1.12 \times 10^{20} J

Therefore, we can conclude that change in the electrical potential energy \Delta U is 1.12 \times 10^{20} J.
