Problems from Week 6

Problem 9-2 from page 287 in Young and Freedman

Compute the angular velocity in tex2html_wrap_inline109 of the crankshift of an automobile engine that is rotating at 4200 tex2html_wrap_inline111 .

Problem 9-24 from page 288 in Young and Freedman

A machine part has a disk of radius 4.50 cm fixed to the end of a shaft that has a radius 0.25 cm. If the tangential speed of a point on the surface of the shaft is tex2html_wrap_inline117 , what is the tangential speed of a point on the rim of the disk?

Examples 10-11 from page 308 in Young and Freedman

An electric motor exerts a constant torque of tex2html_wrap_inline119 on a grindstone mounted on its shaft; the moment of inertia of the grindstone is tex2html_wrap_inline121 . If the system starts from rest, find thw work done by the motor in 8.0 s and the kinetic energy at the end of this time. What was the average power delivered y the motor?

Note: The solution for this example is given on page 270.

Problem 10-32 from page 322 in Young and Freedman

A merry-go-round starts from rest. The merry-go-round is in the shape of a disk of radius 3.00 m, and the moment of inertia about its rotation axis is tex2html_wrap_inline127 .

(a)
What resultant torque must be applied to increase its angular velocity at a constant rate of tex2html_wrap_inline129 ?
(b)
the friction at the axis can be neglected, what =magnitude of force applied tangentially produces this torque?
