HNC Dynamics help please -- Hoist cable looped over a winding drum

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the required tension, angular acceleration, and torques for a hoist system using a winding drum with a moment of inertia of 24 kg m² and a winding radius of 0.6 m. The hoist has a mass of 850 kg and accelerates at 0.8 m/s², with a frictional torque of 88 Nm. The calculated values include a cable tension of 90.185 N, an angular acceleration of 1.33 rad/s², an accelerating torque of 5411 Nm, and a total driving torque of 5531 Nm. The maximum velocity of the hoist is determined to be 4 m/s, although the user seeks clarification on the calculation method.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Second Law (F = ma)
  • Knowledge of torque and its relation to moment of inertia and angular acceleration
  • Familiarity with basic kinematics and equations of motion
  • Ability to perform unit conversions and ensure correct unit usage
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to apply Newton's Second Law to rotational systems
  • Study the relationship between linear and angular quantities in mechanics
  • Explore the equations of motion for uniformly accelerated linear motion
  • Review torque calculations in mechanical systems
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineering students, particularly those studying HNC Mechanical Engineering, and professionals involved in hoisting systems and rotational dynamics.

Hi guys I am looking for help with some formulas, its for hnc mech eng, the question is as follows a winding drum with moment of inertia 24 kg m2 and a winding radius of 0.6m is used to accelerate a loaded hoist with mass of 850kg at a rate of 0.8ms by means of a cable, frictional resistance can be considered as a torque of 88 Nm
determine
1- the tension required in the cable
2- angular acceleration in rads/sec
3- Accelerating torque in Nm at the winding drum shaft required to accelerate the system
4- The total driving torque in Nm required at the winding drum shaft to produce the required motion of the whole system
I got 1 as 90,185N
2 - 1.33 rads/s
3- 5411Nm
4 is 5531Nm but I am not sure how to derive at this answer
The question then goes on to velocity time diagram like questions and asking for sketches
the hoist covers a distance of 20m accelerating at 0.8ms from rest to a max speed then decelerates at the same rate, i.e for 10m constant acceleration
the part of the question I am struggling with is where it asks for the maximum velocity of the hoist, this is 4ms but I am beat for knowing the calculation as I don't have an specific time, Could anyone help me with the formula required to achieve the answer of 4ms?

Many thanks!

Welcome to the PF.

First off, you should be a bit more careful typing out the units. You seem to be using ms as a unit of velocity, but hopefully you mean m/s. Similarly what are the units of linear acceleration? What are the units for angular acceleration?

What is the equation that relates Force, mass and acceleration? What is the equation that relates Torque, Moment of Inertia and Angular Acceleration?

Can you show us your calculations for parts 1, 2 and 3? :-)
