Question

A bucket of water of mass 14.0 kg is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.340 m with mass 11.0 kg . The cylinder pivots on a frictionless axle through its center. The bucket is released from rest at the top of a well and falls a distance 10.6 m to the water. You can ignore the weight of the rope. Part A What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling? Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 . 32.89 N SubmitMy AnswersGive Up Incorrect; Try Again; 11 attempts remaining Part B With what speed does the bucket strike the water?

Explanation / Answer

(a)

Aplly torque momnet of inertia relation

T = I alpha

F r= ( Mr^2/2) ( a/r)

F = ( M/2) a

(M/2) a= mg - ma

a( [M/2m] +1) = g

a = g / (1+ [M/2m]}

=9.8/ 1 + 11/28)

=7.03 m/s^2

T = m( g-a) = 14 ( 9.8-7.03) = 38.69 N

(b)

v= sqrt 2gh = sqrt 2 ( 9.8) 10.6 = 14.41 m/s

(c)

t= v/a = 14.41 m/s/7.03 = 2.05 s

(d)

he force exerted on the cylinder by the axle is

F _ axle = Md+ F = 11(9.8) + (5.5) ( 7.03) = 146.46 N
