Hi, I am a little stuck on this question from a PPOD paper I am doing all help appreciated =)
Homework Statement
A solid circular disc of mass 6.6kg and radius 0.25m rotates about an axis which coincides with its diamter. Its angular acceleration is found to be 6.7rad/s. The axis of...
I got it eventually, I was just looking at it the wrong way round,
ended up with
Io=Ic + md^2
= 0.25mr^2 + mr^2
= 1.25mr^2
feel very stupid now after seeing how easy it was!
hi that's really helping, I just realized that it in my confused state I forgot to include that the question before this was to prove that,
a disc rotating about an axis that coincides with a diamter is I=.25mr^2.
and I was wondering would this give me the value that I would sub in for D in...
hey kinda new to this and I know the rules say I am not allowed to be told how to do this but I am totally stumped and its to be handed in tomorrow. I've looked through everything and cannot find out how to do it anywhere I am starting to think there is a typo in the question paper :S
