A uniform disk with a mass of 5.0 kg and diameter 30 cm rotates on a frictionless fixed axis through its center and perpendicular to the disk faces. A uniform force of 4.0 N is applied tangentially to the rim of the disk. What is the angular acceleration of the disk?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\alpha =10.66 rad/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

mass of disk [tex]m=5 kg[/tex]

diameter of disc [tex]d=30 cm[/tex]

Force applied [tex]F=4 N[/tex]

Now this force will Produce  a  torque of magnitude

[tex]T=F\cdot r[/tex]

[tex]T=4\dot 0.15[/tex]

[tex]T=0.6 N-m[/tex]

And Torque is given Product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration [tex](\alpha )[/tex]

[tex]T=I\cdot \alpha [/tex]

Moment of inertia for Disc [tex]I= \frac{Mr^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]I=0.05625 kg-m^2[/tex]

[tex]0.6=0.05625\cdot \alpha [/tex]

[tex]\alpha =10.66 rad/s^2[/tex]
