    How Much Energy Is Lost to Friction in a Spool of Wire System?

    Homework Statement A spool of thin wire (with inner radius r = 0.40 m, outer radius R = 0.55 m, and moment of inertia I_cm = 0.7139 kg*m^2) pivots on a shaft. The wire is pulled down by a mass M = 1.350 kg. After falling a distance D = 0.550 m, starting from rest, the mass has a speed of v =...

    How Long to Increase Spool's Angular Velocity from 11.0 to 35.0 rad/s?

    Homework Statement A spool of thin wire rotates without friction about its axis. A man pulls down on the wire with force of 14.9N. How long does it take to increase the angular velocity of the spool from 11.0rad/s to 35.0rad/s? Icm = 0.490kg*m^2 Inner radius, r = 0.280m Outer radius, R =...
