A grindstone in the shape of a solid disk has a shaft attached to allow a force to be exerted on. The grindstone has a diameter of 0.650m and a mass of 55.0 kg. The shaft is 0.300 m from the center of the stone and has a mass of 4.00 kg. The grindstone has a motor attached and it is rotating at 450rev/min at a run when the motor is shut off. The grindstone comes to rest in 9.50 s.

a. What is the moment of inertia of the grindstone including the shaft?
b. What is the angular acceleration of the grindstone?
c. What average torque is done by friction to bring the grindstone to rest?
d. How many revolutions has it taken the grindstone to come to rest?
e. What is the linear acceleration of the shaft in this process?
f. What is the linear distance that the shaft traveled?

Answer:

a) 3.265 kg-m^2

b) - 4.96 rad/s^2

c) 16.1944 N-m

d) 35.625

e) - 1.488 m/s^2

f) 67.1175 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Diameter of grindstone ( D ) = 0.650 m , Radius ( R ) = 0.325 m

mass of grindstone ( M ) = 55 kg

Radius of shaft ( r ) = 0.300 m

mass of shaft ( m ) = 4 kg

Initial Angular velocity = 450 rev/min = f = 7.5 rev/s = w =15π rad/s

time ( t ) = 9.50 secs

a) Determine the moment of inertia of the grindstone including the shaft

moment of inertia of grindstone = MR^2 / 2 = 55* (0.325)^2 / 2 = 2.905

moment of inertia of shaft = mr^2 = 4 *0.3^2 = 0.36

∴ moment of inertia including shaft = 2.905 + 0.36 = 3.265 kg-m^2

b) Determine the angular acceleration of the grindstone

∝ = - 15π / 9.5 ( i.e. angular velocity / time )

= - 4.96 rad/s^2 ( deceleration value )

c) Determine average torque done by friction to bring the grindstone to rest

Torque ( I * ∝ ) = 3.265 x 4.96 = 16.1944 N-m (magnitude)

d) Determine the number of revolutions before grindstone comes to rest

Total revolutions N before grindstone comes to rest

= ( f1 + f2)* t /2 = 7.5 * 9.5 / 2 = 35.625

Note : f2 = 0 as it comes to rest

f1 = 7.5 rev/s

e) Determine the Linear acceleration of the shaft in this process

This can be calculated using this relation

r * ∝ = 0.3 x (- 4.96 ) = - 1.488 m/s^2

f) Determine the linear distance travelled by the shaft

This can be calculated with the relation below

r * 2 * π * N = 0.3 * 2π * 35.625 = 67.1175 m.
