Chapter 9 Problem 47E

Question

A frictionless pulley has the shape of a uniform solid disk of mass 2.50 kg and radius 20.0 cm. A 1.50-kg stone is attached to a very light wire that is wrapped around the rim of the pulley (?Fig. E9.43?), and the system is released from rest. (a) How far must the stone fall so that the pulley has 4.50 J of kinetic energy? (b) What percent of the total kinetic energy does the pulley have?

Solution

Solution 47E Since the system is released from rest, therefore there will be loss in potential energy of the system and gain in its kinetic energy. Therefore, Loss in potential energy = gain in (kinetic energy of the pulley + kinetic energy of the stone)…..(1) Let the stone falls by a distance of h. Given, mass of the pulley disk m = 2.p0 kg Its radius r = 20.0 cm = 0.2 m 1 2 Its moment of inertia I =
