A light rod of length 1 m is pivoted at its center and two masses of 5 kg and 2 kg are hung from the ends as shown in the figure. Find the initial angular acceleration of the rod assuming that it was horizontal in the beginning. ? |

Answer» GIVEN in the question :- Length l = 1 m Mass m₁ = 2 kg m₂ = 5 kg. Now we know the formula F₁ r₁ - F₂r₂ = m₁r₁² + m₂r₂² Hence, I = 7 × 0.25 I =1.75 kg.meter². Torque about the PIVOT, i.e T = m₁r₁ + m₂r₂ T = 5 × 0.5 - 2 × 0.5 T = (1.5 × g) Nm Therefore the ACCELERATION α = (1.5 × g) / 1.75 α = (1.5 × 9.8)/ 1.75 α = 14.7 / 1.75 α = 8.4 rad/second² Hope it Helps :-) |
