Answer #1

here the pulley rotates clockwise.

given
I = 2.5 kg.m^2
r1 = 49 cm
m1 = 1 kg
r2 = 20 cm
m2 = 2.5 kg

a) let T1 and T2 are tensions in the strings

let a1 is the acceleration of block 1 and a2 is the acceleration of block 2

alfa is the angular acceleration of the block.

Net force acting on m1, Fnet1 = T1 - m1*g

m1*a1 = T1 - m1*g

T1 = m1*g + m1*a1 ------(1)

net force acting on m2, Fnet2 = m2*g - T2

m2*a2 = m2*g - T2

T2 = m2*g2 - m2*a2 ------(2)


net torque acting on pulley, Tnet = I*alfa

T2*r2 - T1*r1 = I*alfa

(m2*g2 - m2*a2)*r2 - (m1*g + m1*a1)*r1 = I*alfa

m2*g*r2 - m2*r2*alfa*r2 - m1*g*r1 - m1*r1*alfa*r1 = I*alfa

m2*g*r2 - m1*g*r1 = alfa*(I + m1*r1^2 + m2*r2^2)

==> alfa = (m2*g*r2 - m1*g*r1)/(I + m1*r1^2 + m2*r2^2)

= (2.5*9.8*0.2 - 1*9.8*0.49)/(2.5 + 1*0.49^2 + 2.5*0.2^2)

= 0.0345 rad/s^2 <<<<<<<<<<-----------------------Answer

b) a1 = alfa*r1

= 0.0345*0.49

= 0.0169 m/s^2 <<<<<<<<<<-----------------------Answer


a2 = -alfa*r2

= -0.0345*0.2

= -0.00690 m/s^2   <<<<<<<<<<-----------------------Answer

    Your answer is partially correct. A wheel of radius 0.486 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is 0.0240 kg-m. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a 2.91 kg block that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force of magnitude - 3.52 N is applied to the block as shown in the figure, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Take the...

    A boy pulls on a string wrapped around the body of a top to make it spin. The string has a length of 57 cm and is wrapped around the top at a place where its radius is 1.6 cm. The top is initially at rest. He pulls the free end of the string, thereby unwinding it and giving the top an angular acceleration of +11 rad/s2 . Assume that the thickness of the string is negligible, and the rotational...
