A wheel initially spinning at wo = 50.0 rad/s comes to a halt in 20.0 seconds. Determine the constant angular acceleration and the number of revolutions it makes before stopping. An athlete is holding a 2.5 meter pole by one end. The pole makes an angle of 60 with the horizontal. The mass of the pole is 4 kg. Determine the torque exerted by the pole on the athlete's hand. (The mass of the pole can be assumed to be concentrated at the center of mass.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

(I). The angular acceleration and number of revolution are -2.5 rad/s² and 500 rad.

(II). The torque is 84.87 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial spinning = 50.0 rad/s

Time = 20.0

Distance = 2.5 m

Mass of pole = 4 kg

Angle = 60°

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular velocity

[tex]\omega=-\alpha t[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=-\dfrac{\omega}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=-\dfrac{50.0}{20.0}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=-2.5\ rad/s^2[/tex]

The angular acceleration is -2.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the number of revolution

Using angular equation of motion

[tex]\theta=\omega_{0}t+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\theta=50\times20-\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.5\times20^2[/tex]

[tex]\theta=500\ rad[/tex]

The number of revolution is 500 rad.

(II). We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

[tex]\vec{\tau}=\vec{r}\times\vec{f}[/tex]

[tex]\tau=r\times f\sin\theta[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\tau=2.5\times4\times 9.8\sin60[/tex]

[tex]\tau=84.87\ N-m[/tex]

Hence, (I). The angular acceleration and number of revolution are -2.5 rad/s² and 500 rad.

(II). The torque is 84.87 N-m.
