Answer:
Kinetic Energy of the disk = 252 J
Explanation:
weight of disk = 810 N
radius = 1.56 m
applied force = 49 N
time = 2.95 s
kinetic energy of disk = ?
first, we find the mass of the disk
mass of disk = weight/acceleration due to gravity(9.81 m/s^2) = 810/9.81 m/s^2
mass of disk = 82.57 kg
torque on the disk = force x radius = 49 x 1.56 = 76.44 N-m
moment of inertia I = m[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = 82.57 x [tex]1.56^{2}[/tex] = 200.9 kg-[tex]m^{2}[/tex]
recall that
Torque T = Iα
where α = angular acceleration
76.44 = 200.9α
α = 76.44/200.9 = 0.38 m/s^2
from the equation of angular motion,
ω = ω' + αt
where ω = final angular speed
ω' = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s since disk starts from rest
t = time = 2.95 s
imputing values into the equation, we have
ω = 0 + (0.38 x 2.95)
ω = 1.12 rad/s
kinetic energy of the disk = I[tex]w^{2}[/tex]
KE = 200.9 x [tex]1.12^{2}[/tex]
Kinetic Energy of the disk = 252 J
