Problem 9.70
Engineers are designing a system by which a falling mass imparts kinetic energy to a rotating uniform drum to which it is attached by thin, very light wire wrapped around the rim of the drum (the figure ). There is no appreciable friction in the axle of the drum, and everything starts from rest. This system is being tested on earth, but it is to be used on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 . In the earth tests, when is set to 19.0 and allowed to fall through 6.00 , it gives 300.0 of

kinetic energy to the drum.

Note that in this problem, the positive z direction is perpendicular to the computer screen and points toward you (given by the right-hand rule ), so a positive torque would cause counterclockwise rotation about the z axis.

Calculating Torques Using Two Standard Methods


Learning Goal: To understand the two most common procedures for finding torques when the forces and displacements are all in one plane: the moment arm method and the tangential force method. The purpose of this problem is to give you further practice finding torques in two-dimensional situations. In this case it is overkill to use the full cross product definition of the torque because the only nonzero component of the torque is the component perpendicular to the plane containing the problem. There are two common methods for finding torque in a two-dimensional problem: the tangential force method and the moment arm method. Both of these methods will be illustrated in this problem. Throughout the problem, torques that would cause counterclockwise rotation are considered to be positive. Consider a uniform pole of length so that the pole makes an angle attached to the wall at point A. , attached at its base (via a pivot) to a wall. The other end of the pole is attached to a cable, with respect to the wall, and the cable is horizontal. The tension in the cable is . The pole is

Tangential force method The tangential force method involves finding the component of the applied force that is perpendicular to the displacement from the pivot point to where the force is applied. This perpendicular component of the force is called the tangential force.

Part A What is , the magnitude of the tangential force that acts on the pole due to the tension in the rope? and .

Express your answer in terms of ANSWER: =

When using the tangential force method, you calculate the torque using the equation , where is the distance from the pivot to the point where the force is applied. The sign of the torque can be determined by

checking which direction the tangential force would tend to cause the pole to rotate (where counterclockwise rotation implies positive torque). Part B What is the magnitude of the torque Express your answer in terms of ANSWER: = , on the pole, about point A, due to the tension in the rope? , and .

Moment arm method The moment arm method involves finding the effective moment arm of the force. To do this, imagine a line parallel to the force, running through the point at which the force is applied, and extending off to infinity in either direction. You may shift the force vector anywhere you like along this line without changing the torque, provided you do not change the direction of the force vector as you shift it. It is generally most convenient to shift the force vector to a point where the displacement from it to the desired pivot point is perpendicular to its direction. This displacement is called the moment arm. For example, consider the force due to tension acting on the pole. Shift the force vector to the left, so that it acts at a point directly above the point A in the figure. The moment arm of the force is the distance between the pivot and the tail of the shifted force vector. The magnitude of the torque about the pivot is the product of the moment arm and force, and the sign of the torque is again determined by the sense of the rotation of the pole it would cause.

Hint A.1 Conditions for equilibrium Hint not displayed Hint A.2 Rotational analogue of Newton's second law Hint not displayed Hint A.3 Relation between linear and angular acceleration Hint not displayed Check all that apply. ANSWER: The acceleration of the blocks is zero. The net torque on the pulley is zero. The angular acceleration of the pulley is nonzero.

Part B What happens when block B moves downward? Hint B.1 How to approach the problem Hint not displayed Hint B.2 Find the net torque on the pulley Hint not displayed ANSWER:
The right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord.

Note that if the pulley were stationary (as in many systems where only linear motion is studied), then the tensions in both parts of the cord would be equal. However, if the pulley rotates with a certain angular acceleration, as in the present situation, the tensions must be different. If they were equal, the pulley could not have an angular acceleration.
