A student decides to give his bicycle a tune up. He flips it upside down (so there's no friction with the ground) and applies a force of 34 N over 0.6 seconds to the pedal, which has a length of 16.5 cm. If the back wheel has a radius of 33.0 cm and moment of inertia of 1200 kg cm^2, what is the tangential velocity of the rim of the back wheel in m/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]V=9.2565m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force [tex]F = 34 N[/tex]  

Time [tex]t = 0.6 s[/tex]

Length of pedal [tex]l_p=16.5cm \approx0.165m[/tex]

Radius of wheel [tex]r = 33 cm = 0.33 m[/tex]

Moment of inertia, [tex]I = 1200 kgcm2 = 0.12 kg.m2[/tex]

Generally the equation for Torque on pedal [tex]\mu[/tex] is mathematically given by

[tex]\mu=F*L\\\mu=34*0.165[/tex]

[tex]\mu=5.61N.m[/tex]

Generally the equation for  angular acceleration [tex]\alpha[/tex] is mathematically given by

 [tex]\alpha=\frac{\mu}{l}[/tex]

 [tex]\alpha=\frac{5.61}{0.12}[/tex]

 [tex]\alpha=46.75[/tex]

Therefore Angular speed is \omega

[tex]\omega=\alpha*t[/tex]

[tex]\omega=(46.75)*(0.6)[/tex]

[tex]\omega=28.05rad/s[/tex]

Generally the equation for  Tangential velocity V is mathematically given by

[tex]V=r\omega[/tex]

[tex]V=(0.33)(28.05)[/tex]

[tex]V=9.2565m/s[/tex]
