A 7.50 kg disk with a diameter of 88.0 cm is spinning at a rate of 280 revolutions per minute. A block of wood is pressed into the edge of the disk with a force of 35.0 N. The coefficient of friction between the wood and the disk is 0.300. How long does it take the disk to stop spinning?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time taken by disk to stop spinning will be 4.60 sec

Explanation:

It is given mass m = 7.50 kg

Diameter of the disk d = 88 cm = 0.88 m

So radius of the disk [tex]r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.88}{2}=0.44m[/tex]

Angular speed of the disk [tex]\omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 280}{60}=29.30rad/sec[/tex]

Force is given F = 35 N

Coefficient of friction [tex]\mu =0.3[/tex]

Friction force will be equal to [tex]f=\mu F=0.3\times 35=10.5N[/tex]

So torque will be equal to [tex]\tau =Fr=10.5\times 0.44=4.62Nm[/tex]

Torque is also equal to [tex]\tau =I\alpha[/tex]

Moment of inertia of the disk [tex]I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 7.5\times 0.44^2=0.726kgm^2[/tex]

So [tex]4.62=0.726\times \alpha[/tex]

[tex]\alpha =6.964rad/sec^2[/tex]

So time taken will be equal to [tex]t=\frac{\omega -0}{\alpha }=\frac{29.30-0}{6.964}=4.60sec[/tex]
