Question

Figure 10-26 shows three flat disks (of the same a[jj7: lc ........ ...... b .. ;;.~ I iJ __ ~c Fig. 10-25 Question 9. radius) that can rotate about their centers like merry-go-rounds. Each disk consists of the same two materials, one denser than the other (density is mass per unit volume). In disks 1 and 3, the denser material forms the outer half of the disk area. In disk 2, it forms the inner half of the disk area. Forces with identical magnitudes are applied tangentially to the disk, either at the outer edge or at the interface of the two materials, as shown. Rank the disks according to (a) the torque about the disk center, (b) the rotational inertia about the disk center, and (c) the angular acceleration of the disk, greatest first.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 10-26 shows three flat disks (of the same a[jj7: lc ........ ...... b .. ;;.~ I iJ __ ~c Fig. 10-25 Question 9. radius) that can rotate about their centers like merry-go-rounds. Each disk consists of the same two materials, one denser than the other (density is mass per unit volume). In disks 1 and 3, the denser material forms the outer half of the disk area. In disk 2, it forms the inner half of the disk area. Forces with identical magnitudes are applied tangentially to the disk, either at the outer edge or at the interface of the two materials, as shown. Rank the disks according to (a) the torque about the disk center, (b) the rotational inertia about the disk center, and (c) the angular acceleration of the disk, greatest first.
From the textbook chapter ROTATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
