Find Coefficient of Friction: Grindstone Problem

AI Thread Summary
To find the coefficient of friction in the grindstone problem, one must apply principles of rotational dynamics and kinematics. The grindstone, a solid disk, has a defined mass and diameter, and it decelerates to rest under a normal force applied by the ax. The kinetic energy equation, K = 1/2 M(Vcm)^2 + 1/2 (Icm) W^2, is relevant, particularly since the center of mass is stationary. The focus should be on relating the torque caused by friction to the angular deceleration of the grindstone. Understanding these dynamics will lead to calculating the coefficient of friction effectively.

Please give me a hint on what should I follow in order to solve the problem I am stuck and have no clue :confused:

A grindstone in the shape of a solid disk with diameter 0.530 and a mass of = 50.0 is rotating at = 830 . You press an ax against the rim with a normal force of = 260 , and the grindstone comes to rest in 7.80 .

Find Coefficient of friction between the axe and the grinding stone.

Do you know any rotational dynamics, specifically kinematic equations of such?
 
Well this is what I know

K= 1/2 M(Vcm)^2 + 1/2 (Icm) W^2

Since the center of mass is not moving then?

K=1/2 (Icm) W^2?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
