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

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a spool with two radii, subjected to a time-varying tangential force. Participants are tasked with determining the angular momentum of the spool about a specific point on a horizontal surface.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the implications of a time-varying force on angular momentum, questioning the setup regarding the spool's fixed position and the effects of friction. There are inquiries about the relationships between linear and angular quantities.

Discussion Status

The discussion includes attempts to clarify the problem setup and the relationships between various physical quantities. Some participants express confusion over the original poster's calculations and the clarity of their work, while others suggest that friction may have been overlooked in the analysis.

Contextual Notes

There are indications that the original poster's calculations may not account for friction, and participants are encouraged to present their work clearly without using images for algebraic expressions. The nature of the time-varying force raises questions about the constancy of momentum and angular momentum.

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.

I solved it
 
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
