What is the angular momentum of a 3-kg uni- form cylindrical grinding wheel of radius 0.2 m when rotating at 1500 rpm (Rotational Inertia of a cylinder is mR^2/2).

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]L = 9.42 kg m^2/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Angular speed of the cylinder is given as

[tex]f = 1500 rpm[/tex]

[tex]f = 1500 round/60 s[/tex]

[tex]\omega = 2\pi f[/tex]

[tex]\omega = 2\pi(25) = 50 \pi[/tex]

now moment of inertia of the cylinder is given as

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2[/tex]

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2}(3)(0.2)^2[/tex]

[tex]I = 0.06 kg m^2[/tex]

now we have

[tex]L = I\omega[/tex]

[tex]L = (0.06)(50\pi)[/tex]

[tex]L = 9.42 kg m^2/s[/tex]
