How Does a Time-Varying Force Affect Angular Momentum in a Dual-Radius Spool?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the angular momentum of a dual-radius spool subjected to a time-varying force, specifically F = 2t N, acting tangentially at the inner radius. The correct angular momentum expression derived is L = t^2(R1 + R2). Key considerations include the spool's ability to rotate and translate freely on a horizontal surface, and the importance of accounting for friction in calculations. Participants emphasized the need for clear algebraic representation rather than images for problem-solving.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of angular momentum (L = IW + mvr)
  • Familiarity with kinematic equations (v = u + at)
  • Knowledge of rotational dynamics (α and ω relationships)
  • Concept of forces acting on rotating bodies, including friction
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the effects of time-varying forces on angular momentum
  • Explore the role of friction in rotational motion calculations
  • Learn about the relationship between linear and angular acceleration
  • Review problems involving dual-radius spools and their dynamics
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of rotating systems and angular momentum calculations.

a spool of radius R1 and R2 (R2>R1) is kept on hortizontal surface. A force f= 2t N (where t is time ) acts on the inner radius tagentially find the angular momentum of the system about the bottomost point of the spool.

Homework Equations


v=u+at
W=Wi+alpha(t)
L=IW+mvr

Where is the pool fixed at the center or at the indicated point?

It's not fixed ...it's on the floor free to rotate and translate
 
Frankly, your work is illegible.

Nonetheless, could you give me the relation between ## \vec v## and ##\vec a##, and that between ##\vec α## and ##\vec ω##?

I solved it just used the wrong equations ...!

In your calculation of the linear acceleration you have ignored friction at the ground. Not sure if you did the same with the moments.
Please do not post working as images. Use images for diagrams and textbook extracts. Take the trouble to type in your algebra.

You say F = 2t what about direction? Then you want angular momentum at what time. If time varying force is acting neither the momentum nor angular momentum will be constant.

Thanks for the reply but I solved it
