A block of mass M_(1) and a block of mass M_(2) are connected by a string that passes over a pulley as shown in Fig. The pulley is a uniform disk of radius R and mass M. Find the acceleration of the two object, using the concepts of angular momentum and torque. |
|
Answer» Solution :(1) If the block `M_(1)` moves upward, the block `M_(2)` moves DOWNWARD, and the pulley will rotate counterclockwise. This problem is same as Sample Problem we have already solved, except that now we have to use angular momentum and torque to find acceleration. (2) We define the blocks and pulley as our system. We consider the AXLE of the pulley as our axis. We can write the angular momentum of the system considering the ball and the block that are moving translationally and the pulley which is UNDERGOING pure rotation. The external torque on the system about the axis is due to the weights of the blocks. Calculations: Due to constraint, the blocks have same speed n. We can find angular momentum using the definition of angular momentum about the axle, given by equation `vecL=vecrxxvecp`. The momentum and position vectors are given by `vecP_(1)=-M_(1)nuhatjandr_(1)=-Rhati-y_(1)hatj` Using `vecL=vecrxxvecp`, the angular momentum of block 1 is `M_(1)nuRhatk`. Similarly, for block 2, momentum and position vectors are given by `vecP_(2)=+M_(2)nuhatjandr_(1)=Rhati+y_(2)hatj` Using `vecL=vecrxxvecp`, the angular momentum of block 2 is `M_(2)nuRhatk` about our chosen axis. The angular momentum of the pulley can be found using `L=Iomega`. It is given by `M_(p)R^(2)omegahatk//2` about our chosen axis. We calculate the external torque acting on the system about the pulley axle. The force is being exerted by the axle on the pulley, but it does not produce torque about the axle as the LENGTH of moment arm is zero. The gravitational force `M_(1)vecg` acting on block 1 PRODUCES a torque about the axle equal to `M_(1)gRhatk` and the gravitational force `M_(2)vecg` acting on block 2 produces a torque about the axle equal in magnitude to `-M_(2)gRhatk`, where R is the moment arm of the force about the axle. Thus, the total external torque about the pulley axle is `sumtau_(ext)=M_(1)gRhatk-M_(2)gRhatk` Writing an expression for the total angular momentum of the system, `L=(M_(1)nuR+M_(2)nuR+MnuR)hatk` Substituting this expression and the total external torque in `sumt_(ext)=(dL)/(dt)` `M_(1)gRhatk-M_(2)gRhatk=d/dt[(M_(1)+M_(2)+M)nuR]hatk` `M_(1)gR-M_(2)gR=(M_(1)+M_(2)+M)R(dnu)/(dt)` Recognizing that `dnu//dt=a` and solving Eq. for a `a=((M_(1)-M_(2))g)/(M_(1)+M_(2)+M)`

Answer» Solution :Mass oftank at time `t` `M=m_(0)+nmt` Let VELOCITY of TANK be `v` `M(dv)/(DT)=QE-vnm` For `v_(max)`, `(dv)/(dt)=0` `RARR v_(max)=(QE)/(nm)` from `(i)` `(m_(0)+nmt)(dv)/(dt)=QE-vnm` `rArrint_(0)^(v)(dv)/(QE-vnm)=int_(0)^(t)(dt)/(m_(0)+nmt)` ` rArr-(1)/(nm)[LN(QE-nmv)]_(0)^(v)=(1)/(nm)[ln(m_(0)+nmt)]_(0)^(t)` `rArr ln((QE-nmv)/(QE))=-ln((m_(0)+nmt)/(m_(0)))` ` rArr(QE-nmv)/(QE)=(m_(0))/(m_(0)+nmv)` `rArr1-(nmv)/(QE)=(m_(0))/(m_(0)+nmt)` `rArr(nmv)/(QE)=1-(m_(0))/(m_(0)+nmt)=(nmt)/(m_(0)+nmt)` `rArrt=(m_(0))/((QE)/(v)-nm)` required time when `v=v_(max)//2=(m_(0))/((2QE)/(v_(max))-nm)=(m_(0))/(nm)`

A circuit consists of a capacitor with capacitance C and a coil of inductance L connected in series, as well as a switch and a resistance equal to the critical value for this circuit. With the switchdisconnected, the capacitor was charged to a voltage V_(0), and at the moment t=0, the switch was closed . Find the corrent I in the circuit as a function of time t.What is I_(max) equal to ? |
|
Answer» Solution :`o=(q)/(C)+L(dI)/(dt)+RI, I=+(dq)/(dt)` For the critical case `R=2sqrt((L)/(C))` Thus `LCddot(q)+2 sqrt(LC)dot(q)+q=0` Look for a solution with `q prop E^(alphat)` `alpha=-(1)/(sqrt(LC))` An independent solution is `t e ^( alpha t)`. Thus `q=(A+Bt)e^(-t//sqrt(LC))`, At `t=0 q=CV_(0) ` thus `A=CV_(0)` Also at`t=0 dot(q)=I=0` `0=B-A(1)/(sqrt(lC))implies B=B_(0)sqrt((C)/(L))` Thus FINALLY `I=(dq)/(dt)=V_(0)sqrt((C)/(L))e^(-t//sqrt(LC))` `-(1)/(sqrt(LC))(CV_(0)+V_(0)sqrt((C)/( L))t) E^(-t//sqrt(LC))` `=-(V_(0))/( L)te^(-t//sqrt(LC))` The current has been defined to increase the CHARGE. Hence the MINUS sign. ltbr. The current is maximum when `(dI)/( dt)=-(V_(0))/(L) e^(-t//sqrt(LC))(1-(t)/(sqrt(LC)))=0` This GIVES `t= sqrt(LC)` and the magnitude of the maximum current is `|I_(max)|=(V_(0))/(e)sqrt((C)/(L))`.

Ultrasonic and Infrasonic Waves: The sound having frequency 20 Hz to 20 KHz is called audible sound Human ear cannot hear sound of frequencies lying outside this range. The limits of audibility of sound vary from individual. Generally the upper limit decreases with increase of age of individual, usually and people can not hear sound of frequency more than 15 kHz. Sound of frequencies below 20 Hz are called infrasonics, while frequencies beyond 20 kHz are called ultrasonics. Ultrasonics can be heard by dogs, cat bats etc. Bats detect the path by means of ultrasonics. Ultrasonics can be used for diagnosis of tumour and other abnormalities within our body. This is known as ultrasonography. Ultrasonics are used to curve various diseases and to measure depth of oceans to detect submarines. |
