What is the magnitude of the torque that the axle must apply to prevent the disk from rotating?
1 answer:
The required torque at the axle, is given by the difference between the
moments of the applied forces.
The torque required is <u>19.62 N·m counterclockwise</u>
Reasons:
The given parameters are;
Mass of the disk, m = 5.0 kg
Location of the axle = Half the radius of the disk
Diameter of the disk, D = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Applied mass, 0.1 m from the axle = 15 kg
Applied mass, 0.3 m from the axle = 10 kg
Required:
Magnitude of torque at the axle that prevent the disk from rotating
Solution:
Torque needed = Clockwise moment - Counterclockwise moment
Clockwise moment = (10 kg × 0.3 m + 5 kg × 0.1 m) × 9.81 m/s² = 34.335 N·m
Counterclockwise moment = 15 kg × 0.1 m × 9.81 m/s² = 14.715 N·m
τ + Counterclockwise moment = Clockwise moment
τ + 14.715 N·m = 34.335 N·m
Torque required, τ = 34.335 N·m - 14.715 N·m = 19.62 N·m
Torque required, τ = <u>19.62 N·m counterclockwise</u>
