Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around solving problems related to pulleys and rotational mechanics, specifically involving the calculation of tension in a string connecting two pulleys with given moment of inertia and radius. The original poster seeks guidance on the initial concepts necessary for approaching such problems.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the relationship between potential energy loss and kinetic energy gain in the system. There are attempts to derive acceleration and velocity relationships, as well as inquiries about calculating net torque and constraint relations in the context of the problem.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered initial guidance regarding energy conservation principles and kinematic equations. However, there appears to be a lack of consensus on the specific steps needed to resolve the problem, with ongoing requests for further clarification and support.

Contextual Notes

The original poster expresses difficulty with calculating net torque and understanding constraint relations, indicating that they may be facing challenges with the foundational concepts necessary for solving the problem. An image related to the problem has been attached for reference.

how to solve pulley related rotational mechanics problems...

please guide me through...

the ques are of the kind...

mass is attached to a pulley which is further attched to larger pulley...

and the moment of inertia of both along wid their radius is given...

mass of the load is given...

asks to calculate tension between the wire joining the two pulleys...

what should be the intial cocept...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have you tried

loss in PE of load = gain of KE of pulleys, load and trolley ?

Thanks Bro..shall Do It...
 
Note that the acceleration of the system (out of rest) when the load has dropped through a distance h is given by:

[tex]v^2 = 2ah[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{v^2}{2h}[/tex]
 
hey thanks a million times frnz but that guidance is not enough for me to solve these kind of problems..

A string is wrapped around a wheel of moment of inertia=.20 kgm^2 and radius = 10 cm.
It goes through a light pulley of radius 5 cm and M.I=.10 kg m^2, to support a mass of 2kg.
Find the tension in the part of string joining the pulleys and and the acceleration of the block...

REALLY HAVING TROUBLE CALCULATING NET TORQUE AND CONSTRAINT RELATIONS..

PLS GUIDE ME THROUGH FRNZ..
