Answer:
a) V1=11.05m/s V2=92.07m/s V3=17.24m/s
b) KE = 16238.26J
Explanation:
For tangential speeds:
[tex]V1 = \omega*R1=5.58*1.98=11.05m/s[/tex]
[tex]V2 = \omega*R2=5.58*16.5=92.07m/s[/tex]
[tex]V3 = \omega*R3=5.58*3.09=17.24m/s[/tex]
For the kinetic energy, it can be calculated as:
[tex]KE=1/2*\omega^2*(I1+I2+I3)[/tex]
Where:
[tex]I1 = m1*R1^2=5.46*1.98^2=21.4kg.m^2[/tex]
[tex]I2 = m2*R2^2=3.64*16.5^2=990.99kg.m^2[/tex]
[tex]I3 = m3*R3^2=3.21*3.09^2=30.65kg.m^2[/tex]
So,
[tex]KE=1/2*5.58^2*(21.4+990.99+30.65)[/tex]
KE=16238.26J
