Impulse Momentum Method for Rotational

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the Impulse Momentum Method for rotational dynamics, particularly in solving two problems involving initial and final velocities. Participants clarify the conditions for two diagrams, confirming that initial velocities are zero and discussing the implications of tangential forces on calculations. There is confusion regarding the use of diameters versus radii in torque calculations, leading to incorrect answers for angular velocity. Participants emphasize the importance of correctly identifying which velocities and forces to use in their equations. The conversation highlights the need for careful attention to detail in physics problems to avoid common mistakes.

Homework Statement


I have abit of problem understanding this 2 question, I would appreciate if someone can guide me along.

For diagram 1 (Left)
I interpret the condition as: At 0sec, initial velocity is 0, At 5sec final velocity is unknown.


For diagram 2 (Right)
I interpret the condition as: At 0 sec, initial velocity is 0, At 3sec final velocity is 14.5m/s


Please let me know if I get any of the condition wrong, thank you.

I think you understand the conditions correctly.
 
o_0 hmm strange then how come i cannot get the answer...
 
What goes wrong?
 
For Diagram 1 part A

M1=mv
=0

M2=mv
=(20)(V2)
=20V2

M1+I1-2=M2
981-5TA=20V2
5TA=981-20V2
TA=196.2-4V2

Ans is TA=196.2-4V

4V2 and 4V are both different meaning right?
 
Why are you ignoring the tangential force?
 
You mean the 75N force?

What has it got to do with part A?

You have already solved part A as far as I can tell.
 
My Answer is: TA=196.2-4V2
Question Ans is : TA=196.2-4V

Is there any difference between V2 and V? one is initial one is final.
 
  • #10
The initial velocity is zero per the conditions ("released at t = 0"). So v can only be the final.
 
  • #11
How about the subscript? Don't have to write?
 
  • #12
Up to you. You can say "let's denote the velocity at t = 5 s as V" or in any other way. That does not change the underlying physics. You just need to know what denotes what.

Part B

M1=Iω
=0

M2=Iω
=(2.5)(V/0.15)
=16.67V

I1-2=Torque x Time
=[-22.5+Ta(0.15)]5
=34.65-3V

M1+I1-2=M2
34.65-3V=16.67V
34.65=19.67V
V=1.76

V=rω
ω=1.76/0.15
ω=11.74 - Ans Wrong

Hmm. I have used a somewhat different method, but got the same result. Let's see if somebody else here can point out our mistake.

OK.

I1-2=Torque x Time
=[-22.5+Ta(0.15)]5
=34.65-3V
Where did you get the 22.5 from? Redo that calculation.
 
  • #16
Hi Doc Al, thanks for helping.

I got my -22.5 from the tangential force Ft=75N I used the 75 times 0.3 = 22.5 Because Tension x Radius = Torque


*Ok i think i got it, it's 300mm, 150mm diameters

There you go. :wink:
 
  • #18
M1=Iω
=0

M2=Iω
=(2.5)(V/0.15)
=16.67V

I1-2= Torque x Time
=(TaX0.075-75X0.15)5
=17.325-1.5V

M1+I1-2=M2
17.325-1.5v=16.67v
17.325=18.17v
v=0.95

v=rω
0.95=0.15ω
ω=6.3 wrong again :cry:

Same problem with radius vs diameter. (Sorry I didn't spot it before.)
 
  • #20
how come i need to take the radius of the axle and not the wheel?

You are relating ω to the speed V, which is the tangential speed of the axle edge, not the wheel edge.
 
  • #22
Can I say the "v" that I am finding is actually the velocity of the axle. After getting the velocity of the axle, I divide by 0.075 (axle radius) is because in a compound pulley, Angular velocity are the same. I am just using the axle velocity to get ω.

Yes. V is the velocity of the falling mass, and since its cord is wrapped around the axle, V is also the tangential velocity of the axle.

The axle and wheel are attached, so they have a common ω.

Ok..I'm sorry can you help me take a look at this question part C

M1=Iω
=(3.5)(12.5)
=43.75

M2
=Iω
=3.5ω

I1-2=Torque X Time
=[(-TA)(0.2)+(TB)(0.5)]5
=-32ω+3783.5

M1+I1-2=M2
43.75-32ω+3783.5=3.5ω
3827.25=35.5ω
ω=107.80 - Wrong Answer

Double check that last calculation.
 
  • #26
=[(-TA)(0.2)+(TB)(0.5)]5

=[(-2ω+465.5)0.2+(1327.2-12ω)0.5]5

=(-0.4ω+93.1+663.6-6ω)5

=(-6.4ω+756.7)5

=-32ω+3783.5

I'm abit blind hehe can you tell me where is wrong? :redface:

Looks to me like you left out a minus sign.

fail -.- what a mess...hehe anyway thanks for your time and help (voko too), thanks :)

I can't believe I mistook the diameters for the radii, but I did. Not just once, but multiple times when I cross-checked my results via at least three different methods. Oh well. Thanks Doc Al for pointing that out.
