Chapter 10 Problem 99

Question

A small ball with mass 1.30 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.780 m long and of negligible mass. The system rotates in a horizontal circle about the other end of the rod at 5010 rev/min. (a) Calculate the rotational inertia of the system about the axis of rotation. (b) There is an air drag of 2.30 X 10-2 N on the ball, directed opposite its motion. What torque must be applied to the system to keep it rotating at constant speed?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 99 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A small ball with mass 1.30 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.780 m long and of negligible mass. The system rotates in a horizontal circle about the other end of the rod at 5010 rev/min. (a) Calculate the rotational inertia of the system about the axis of rotation. (b) There is an air drag of 2.30 X 10-2 N on the ball, directed opposite its motion. What torque must be applied to the system to keep it rotating at constant speed?
From the textbook chapter ROTATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
