There are two external force acts on the chair.
1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.
2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).
On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as
F=mg
here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.
To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity
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
