AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the angular acceleration of a fishing reel and the distance the fish pulls the line in a given time. A force of 3.0 N from the fish and a restraining torque of 0.044 N m from the reel are key factors in the calculations. Participants clarify that the torque should not be directly subtracted from the force, as torque is a different physical quantity. Instead, the moment of inertia and angular speed are essential for determining the angular acceleration. The conversation emphasizes the need to apply the correct formulas for torque and angular motion to solve the problem accurately.

Homework Statement


A fish takes the bait and pulls on the line with a force of 3.0 N. The fishing reel, which has a friction clutch that exerts a restraining torque of 0.044 N m, is a cylinder of radius 0.060 m and mass 0.82 kg.

(a) What is the angular acceleration of the fishing reel?

(b) How much line does the fish pull from the reel in 0.30 s?

Homework Equations



rF/mr^2

The Attempt at a Solution



I know which formula to use to find angular acceleration, but I'm not sure what to do with the restraining torque (0.044N). Do I just subtract 0.044 N from 3.0 N and substitute that number for F or is there more to it that I'm missing?

0.044 N
This is not simply "N", but "Nm", which is a torque.
I think you have to look your book for torque, moment of inertia, angular speed.
 

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...
