Question

11.

A cylinder having a mass of 8.0 kg can rotate about its central axis through point O. Forces are applied as in the figure: F1 = 6.5 N, F2 = 5.0 N, F3 = 2.0 N, and F4 = 6.0 N. Also, R1 = 6.0 cm and R2 = 11.0 cm. Find the magnitude and direction of the angular acceleration of the cylinder.(Take clockwise to be +) (During the rotation, the forces maintain their same angles relative to the cylinder.)

Explanation / Answer

Given that mass of the cyllinder is m = 8.0 kg

   ??_net = I ?

moment of inertia I = 1/2 M R_2^2

                              

                                  = 1/2 * 8.0 kg * ( 0.11 m)^2

                                   = 0.0484 kg m^2

? ? = F_1 R_2 - F_2 R_2 -F_3 R_1 * F_4 * 0

         = 6.5 N * 0.11 m - 5.0 N * 0.11 m - 2.0N * 0.06 m

         = 0.045 N m

angular acceleration ?   = ? ? / I

                                      = 0.045 N m / 0.0484 kg m^2

                                      = 0.9297 rad /s^2

direction of angular accelaration is clockwise (positive)
