CH4 - Week7

1) A 400N weight is attached to a cord wrapped around a solid cylinder weighing 1200N that rotates about its horizontal axis. 2) To raise the weight with an acceleration of 4 m/s^2, the tension in the cord is 563.098N and the torque applied to the cylinder is 807.746 Nm. 3) The total bearing reaction is 1763.098N.

General Kinetics of Rotation

A weight of 400N is fastened to a cord which is wrapped around a solid cylinder of 1-meter
radius weighing 1200N. The cylinder rotates about its horizontal centroidal axis.
A. Compute the tension in the chord if the torque applied to the cylinder will raise the weight with
an acceleration of 4 m/sec2
B. Compute the torque applied to the cylinder to raise the weight with an acceleration of 4
m/sec2
C. Compute the total bearing reaction

Solution:
A) Tension in the chord

a=r α
4=1(α )

α =4 rad /sec 2
1 W
I = ( r 2)
2 g
1 1200 2
I= ( )(1 )
2 g
600
I=
g
400
T =400+ a
g
400
T =400+ ( 4)
9.81
T =563.098 N answer

B) Torque applied to the cylinder


Σ M o =0

M =T (1)+ I α
600
M =563.098(1)+ ( 4)
9.81
M =807.746 N . m. answer

C) Total bearing reaction

R=1200+ T
R=1200+ 563.098
R=1763.098 N answer
