Chapter 18 Problem 18-37

Question

The spool has a mass of 50 kg and a radius of gyration of kO = 0.280 m. If the 20-kg block A is released from rest, determine the distance the block must fall in order for the spool to have an angular velocity v = 5 rad>s. Also, what is the tension in the cord while the block is in motion? Neglect the mass of the cord

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 37 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The spool has a mass of 50 kg and a radius of gyration of kO = 0.280 m. If the 20-kg block A is released from rest, determine the distance the block must fall in order for the spool to have an angular velocity v = 5 rad>s. Also, what is the tension in the cord while the block is in motion? Neglect the mass of the cord
From the textbook chapter Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
