A machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 215 g and diameter 3.10 cm . It is spinning about a frictionless axle through its center, but at one point on its equator it is scraping against metal, resulting in a friction force of 0.0200 N at that point.Find its angular acceleration. Let the direction the sphere is spinning be the positive sense of rotation.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\alpha =15 rad/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

mass of sphere[tex]\left ( m\right )=215 g[/tex]

diameter[tex]\left ( d\right )=3.10 cm[/tex]

Friction Force=0.02 N

here friction force will provide torque

thus [tex]f_r\times r=I\times \alpha [/tex]

[tex]0.02\times r=\frac{2mr^2}{5}\times \alpha [/tex]

[tex]\alpha =\frac{0.02\times 5\times r}{2\times m\times r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha =\frac{5\times 0.02}{2\times 0.215\times 1.55\times 10^{-2}}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha =15 rad/s^2[/tex]
