Question is

A problem has arisen in teh goods yard where a large container is required to be pulled along a makeshift alipway. The container has a mass of 1.5tonne and is pulled along the horizontal slipway at an acceleration of 0.9m/s² by a rope wound around a winding drum. The resistance to motion of the container is equivalent to a coefficient of friction 0.6. The winidng drum hasa mass of 0.5 tonne, outside diameter 1m and radius of gyration of 0.3m. The drum has a resistance couple of 200Nm acting on it. Find teh torque required by the motor of teh winidng drum?

I have so far:



Q(Anglaur acceleration, can't get right sybol)


I=mk²
500x0.3² =45kgm²


Q=a/r

Q=0.9/0.5
=1.8 rad/s²

f=ma
p-f=ma
p=ma + f

(1500x0.9) + 0.6
=1350.6N


∑T=IK
E-Pr-R=IK
E=IQ+Pr+R
(45x1.8)+(1350x0.6x0.5) +200
=956.3Nm

That correct?

Cheers

Bikerz: Wouldn't the friction force be F = 0.6*m*g, not 0.6? Try it again.

Ah yes cheers. 810N

Thanks

Im rubbish at taking notes, scribble down as fast as I can go to keep up.
 

1. What is angular motion?

Angular motion is the movement of an object around a fixed point or axis. It involves the rotation of an object rather than its linear movement.

2. How is angular motion different from linear motion?

Angular motion involves the rotation of an object around a fixed point, while linear motion involves the movement of an object in a straight line. Additionally, angular motion is measured in terms of radians or degrees, while linear motion is measured in units such as meters or feet.

3. What are some examples of angular motion?

Some examples of angular motion include the rotation of a wheel, the spinning of a top, the movement of a merry-go-round, and the swinging of a pendulum.

4. What is the difference between angular speed and angular velocity?

Angular speed refers to the rate at which an object rotates around a fixed point, while angular velocity refers to the speed of rotation as well as the direction of rotation. Angular velocity is a vector quantity, while angular speed is a scalar quantity.

5. How is angular motion related to circular motion?

Angular motion is a type of circular motion, as it involves the rotation of an object around a fixed point or axis. However, circular motion can also refer to the movement of an object along a circular path, without necessarily involving rotation.
