TORQUE A cylindrical fishing reel has a mass of 0.65 kg and a radius of 4.3 cm...

Homework Statement

A cylindrical fishing reel has a mass of 0.65 kg and a radius of 4.3 cm. A friction clutch in the reel exerts a restraining torque of 1.3 N·m if a fish pulls on the line. The fisherman gets a bite, and the reel begins to spin with an angular acceleration of 66 rad/s2.

(a) Find the force of the fish on the line.
______N
(b) Find the amount of line that unwinds in 0.50 s.
______m

The Attempt at a Solution

for the fishing reel, I=m*r^2

Net torque equals I*α
α=66 rad/s^2
I will assume that the torque from the line is at the edge of the radius:
F*4.3/100-1.3=I*66
where F is the force of the fish
F=32.1 N

θ=.5*α*t^2

θ=.5*66*.5^2
8.25 radians
d=2*π*r*θ
=2*3.14*4.3*8.25/100
2.23 m



but it says those answers are wrong. what do i do?

 

[Doc Al]

for the fishing reel, I=m*r^2

The rotational inertia of a cylinder is (1/2)mr^2. (Assuming that it's a solid cylinder.)

The rotational inertia of a cylinder is (1/2)mr^2. (Assuming that it's a solid cylinder.)

but i don't understand why the second answer is wrong, either

 

[Doc Al]

θ=.5*α*t^2

θ=.5*66*.5^2
8.25 radians

So far, so good.

d=2*π*r*θ

No, distance just equals r*θ. (Since theta is in radians.)

i'm sorry, i still don't understand...

 

[Doc Al]

What's the rotational inertia of a solid cylinder? See: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mi.html#cmi"

.5mr^2,
but now looking at my work for part a, i am severly confused...i feel like i skipped a step. can you help me set up part a from the beginning?

I don't see anything wrong with the method you used in part a (except for that moment of inertia).

What do you think you left out?

I feel i need to rearrange the whole thing, according to the equation you gave me.
So if I=.5mr^2, how would i set it up to that...
I am really confused.
Also I'm partly a perfectionist so i need to start from the beginning hah, just a habit i picked up..

 

[Doc Al]

I would set it up exactly as you did:
\tau_{net} = I \alpha

Fr -\tau_{rest} = I \alpha

Fr = I \alpha + \tau_{rest} = (0.5mr^2) \alpha + \tau_{rest}

And so on...

And so on...

using .5mr^2*a*Trest i get 1.34...

 

[Doc Al]

using .5mr^2*a*Trest i get 1.34...

For F*r, I presume? Now solve for F.

 

[lettertwelve]

For F*r, I presume? Now solve for F.

it worked out perfectly. thank you!
