Q2 : Locate the center of Mass ( X , Y , Z ) of the Homogeneous Block Assembly Shown in Fig ( 2 ) ?
A yoyo is constructed by attaching three uniform, solid disks along their central axes as shown. The two outer disks are identical, each with mass M = 58 g, radius R = 3.3 cm, and moment of inertia 1/2MR2. The central, smaller disk has mass M/2 and radius R/2. A light, flexible string of negligible mass is wrapped counterclockwise around the central disk of the yoyo. The yoyo is then placed on a horizontal tabletop and the string is gently pulled with a constant force F = 0.25 N. The tension in the string is not sufficient to cause the yoyo to leave the tabletop. In this problem consider the two cases show. In Case 1 the string is pulled straight up, perpendicular to the tabletop. In Case 2 the string is pulled horizontally, parallel to the tabletop. In both cases the yoyo rolls without slipping. In both the cases shown what is the magnitude of the tourqe t excerted by the string about the contact point of the yo-yo wiith the table in N*m. What is the moment of intertia of the yo-yo…
