QUESTION:

Problem 72P

Your engineering team has been assigned the task of measuring the properties of a new jet-engine turbine. You’ve previously determined that the turbine’s moment of inertia is 2.6 kg m2. The next job is to measure the friclional torque of the bearings. Your plan is to run the turbine up to a predetermined rotation speed, cut the power, and time how long it takes the turbine to reduce its rotation speed by 50%. Your data are as follows:

Rotation (rpm)

Time (s)

1500

19

1800

22

2100

25

2400

30

2700

34

Draw an appropriate graph of the data and, from the slope of the best-fit line, determine the frictional torque.
