A flywheel having mass 3 kg and radius 5 m is free to rotate about a horizontal axis. A string having negligible mass is wound around the wheel and the loose end of the string is connected to 3 kg mass. The mass is kept at rest initially and released. Kinetic energy of the wheel when the mass descends by 3 m is J. (g = 10 m/s2)
Two masses m and 2m are connected by a light string going over a pulley (disc) of mass 30m with radius r = 0.1 m. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and it is free to rotate about its axis. The 2m mass is released from rest and its speed when it has descended through a height of 3.6 m is m/s. (Assume string does not slip and g = 10 m/s2)
A thin solid disk of 1 kg is rotating along its diameter axis at the speed of 1800 rpm. By applying an external torque of 25 N m for 40 s, the speed increases to 2100 rpm. The diameter of the disk is m.
[figure] A wheel of radius 0.2 m rotates freely about its center when a string that is wrapped over its rim is pulled by a force of 10 N as shown in figure. The established torque produces an angular acceleration of 2 rad/s2. Moment of inertia of the wheel is kg m2. (Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2)
A string is wrapped around the rim of a wheel of moment of inertia 0.40 kgm2 and radius 10 cm. The wheel is free to rotate about its axis. Initially the wheel is at rest. The string is now pulled by a force of 40 N. The angular velocity of the wheel after 10 s is x rad/s, where x is .
