Textbook Solutions for Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics

Chapter 17 Problem 17.135

Question

A uniform disk of constant thickness and initially at rest is placed in contact with the belt shown, which moves at a constant speed v = 80 ft/s. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the belt is 0.15, determine (a) the number of revolutions executed by the disk before it reaches a constant angular velocity, (b) the time required for the disk to reach that constant angular velocity.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 135 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A uniform disk of constant thickness and initially at rest is placed in contact with the belt shown, which moves at a constant speed v = 80 ft/s. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the belt is 0.15, determine (a) the number of revolutions executed by the disk before it reaches a constant angular velocity, (b) the time required for the disk to reach that constant angular velocity.
From the textbook chapter Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies: Energy and Momentum Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
