When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius of 7.0 cm and a mass of 17 g , what is the torque exerted on it? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Respuesta :

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

[tex]\tau = I\alpha[/tex]

where

I = Moment of inertia [tex]\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2[/tex] For a disk

[tex]\alpha =[/tex] Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

[tex]2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2[/tex]

Where

[tex]\omega_{f,i} =[/tex] Final and Initial Angular velocity

[tex]\alpha =[/tex] Angular acceleration

[tex]\theta =[/tex] Angular displacement

Our values are given as

[tex]\omega_i = 0 rad/s[/tex]

[tex]\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})[/tex]

[tex]\omega_f = 47.12rad/s[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad[/tex]

[tex]r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m[/tex]

[tex]m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg[/tex]

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

[tex]2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2[/tex]

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

[tex]\tau = I\alpha[/tex]

[tex]\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha[/tex]

[tex]\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)[/tex]

[tex]\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m [/tex]

Therefore the torque exerted on it is [tex]2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m[/tex]

The torque exerted on the CD is 0.00245N/m

Data;

  • final angular acceleration = w2 = 450 rev/min
  • angular acceleration = 3.0 rev
  • radius = 7.0cm
  • mass = 17g

Torque

The torque exerted on the CD can be calculated  as

[tex]\tau = Ia[/tex]

  • I = moment of inertia
  • a = acceleration

The final revolution is

[tex]w_2 = (450 * 2\pi )/60 = 47.12 rad/s[/tex]

3 revs = 18.8495 rads.

a = angular acceleration

g = angle

using a modified equation of motion,

[tex]w_2^2 = w_1^2 + 2a(g_2 - g_1)\\47.12^2 = 0 + 2a (18.84 - 0)\\a = 58.895 rad/s^2[/tex]

Let's use this to find the torque exerted on the CD

[tex]\tau = Ia\\\tau = \frac{1}{2} * (0.017) * 0.07^2 * 58.895\\\tau = 0.00245 N/m[/tex]

The torque exerted on the CD is 0.00245N/m
