A 800-gram grinding wheel 27.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (We can ignore the small hole at the center.) When it is in use, it turns at a constant 245 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 50.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

d = Diameter of wheel = 27 cm

r = Radius = [tex]\frac{d}{2}=\frac{27}{2}=13.5\ cm[/tex]

m = Mass of wheel = 800 g

[tex]\omega_i[/tex] = Initial angular velocity = [tex]245\times \frac{2\pi}{60}\ rad/s[/tex]

Equation of rotational motion

[tex]\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0-245\times \frac{2\pi}{60}}{50}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.51312\ rad/s^2[/tex]

Moment of inertia is given by

[tex]M=\frac{1}{2}mr^2\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.8\times 0.135^2\\\Rightarrow M=0.00729\ kgm^2[/tex]

Torque is given by

[tex]\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.00729\times -0.51312\\\Rightarrow \tau=-0.0037406448\ Nm[/tex]

The torque the friction exerts is -0.0037406448 Nm
