A 1.0 kg ball and a 2.0 kg ball are connected by a 1.0-m-long rigid, massless rod. The rod is rotating cw about its center of mass at 20 rpm. What torque will bring the balls to a halt in 5.0 s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

torque is 0.2324 N-m

Explanation:

given data

mass m1 = 1 kg

mass m2 = 2 kg

length r2 = 1.0 m

angular velocity = 20 rpm = 20 × 2π/60sec = 2.092 rad/s

to find out

What torque will bring the balls to a halt in 5.0 s

solution

we know center of mass of rod is  = m1r1 + m2r2 / (m1+m2)

= 1 (0) + 2(1.0) / (1+2)

= 2/3 = 0.666 m

so distance from center of rod (d)  = 1 - 0.66 = 0.333

so that we say

distance of axis rotation to m1 is r1 i.e = 0.666

distance of axis rotation to m2 is r2 i.e = 0.334

so we now find moment of inertia of rod about center of mass

inertia = m1r1² + m2r2²

inertia = 1 (0.666)² + 2 ( 0.334)²

inertia = 0.4435 + 0.1115 = 0.555 kg m²

so

angular acceleration = angular velocity / time

angular acceleration = 2.0932 / 5  = 0.4187 rad/s²

we apply torque formula

torque = inertia ×angular acceleration

torque = 0.555  × 0.4187

torque is 0.2324 N-m

The torque that will bring the ball to a halt is 0.233 N.m.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the balls, m = 1 kg, 2 kg
  • length, r = 1 m
  • angular speed, = 20 rpm
  • time of motion, t = 5 s

The distance of each mass from the center mass is calculated as;

[tex]X_c_m = \frac{1(0) + 2(1)}{1 + 2} = 0.666 \ m[/tex]

the position of the first mass from center = 0.666 m

the position of the second mass = 1 - 0.666 m = 0.334 m

The moment of inertia of the balls is calculated as follows;

[tex]I = m_1 r_1^2 + m_2r^2\\\\I = 1(0.666)^2 + 2(0.334)^2\\\\I = 0.555 \ kgm^2[/tex]

The angular acceleration of the balls is calculated as follows;

[tex]a_c = \frac{\omega }{t} \\\\a_c = 20 \ \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \times \frac{1}{5 \ s} = 0.42 \ rad/s^2[/tex]

The torque that will bring the ball to a halt is calculated as follows;

[tex]\tau \ = I \alpha \\\\\tau = 0.555 \times 0.42 \\\\\tau = 0.233 \ Nm[/tex]
