Question

In Figure P8.77, the sliding block has a mass of 0.850 kg, the counterweight has a mass of 0.420 kg, and the pulley is a uniform solid cylinder with a mass of 0.350 kg and an outer radius of 0.030 0 m. The coeffi cient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.250. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The light cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of 0.820 m/s toward the pulley when it passes through a photogate. (a) Use energy methods to predict the speed of the block after it has moved to a second photogate 0.700 m away. (b) Find the angular speed of the pulley at the same moment.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 8 problem number 931 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Figure P8.77, the sliding block has a mass of 0.850 kg, the counterweight has a mass of 0.420 kg, and the pulley is a uniform solid cylinder with a mass of 0.350 kg and an outer radius of 0.030 0 m. The coeffi cient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.250. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The light cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of 0.820 m/s toward the pulley when it passes through a photogate. (a) Use energy methods to predict the speed of the block after it has moved to a second photogate 0.700 m away. (b) Find the angular speed of the pulley at the same moment.
From the textbook chapter Rotational Equilibrium and Rotational Dynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
