Calculating Angular Velocity and Gear Ratio for a Winding Drum

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating angular velocity and gear ratio for a winding drum. The user calculates angular velocity using the formula w = 2PI f, resulting in 66.66 radians/second. They then compute the linear velocity of the drum as V = wr, yielding 19998. The user also attempts to find the motor velocity by dividing the drum velocity by the gearbox reduction ratio of 200, resulting in 99.99. The conversation highlights the importance of correct formulas and calculations in solving the problem.

Homework Equations



w = 2PI f

v = wr

Time = 2PI R/V

The Attempt at a Solution



w = (2000/PI x 60) x 2PI = 66.66 Radians/Sec

V = wr = 66.6 x 300 = 19998 ( Is this velocity of the winding drum)

19998/200 = 99.99 ( Velocity/200 reduction gearbox, gives me the velocity of the motor?)


Help Appriciated.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
