Blocks 1 and 2, with masses M1=0.50 kg and M2=1.5 kg, are connected by an ideal string, which passes over a pulley without slipping (see figure).
The magnitudes of the wire voltages applied to blocks 1 and 2 are represented, respectively, by T1 and T2. Consider T2>T1. In this case, the pulley rotates counterclockwise.
The pulley has radius R=0.46 m and rotates around an axis perpendicular to its surface passing through its CM. The CM of the pulley coincides with its center.
The moment of inertia of the pulley with respect to the axis of rotation is denoted by I and the acceleration of the blocks has magnitude 0.025 m/s2. Use g=10 m/s2.

- Three long, current-carrying wires are parallel to one another and separated by a distance d. The magnitudes and directions of the currents are shown in Figure P30.91. Wires 1 and 3 are fixed, but wire 2 is free to move. Wire 2 is displaced to the right by a small distance x. Determine the net force (per unit length) acting on wire 2 and the angular frequency of the resulting oscillation. Assume the mass per unit length of wire 2 is and x d. FIGURE P30.91arrow_forwardYou are working for a company that manufactures motors and generators. At the end of your first day of work, your supervisor explains to you that you will be assigned to a team that is designing a new homopolar generator. You have no idea what that is, but agree wholeheartedly to the assignment. At home that evening, you go online to learn about the homopolar generator and find the following. The homopolar generator, also called the Faraday disk, is a low-voltage, high-current electric generator. It consists of a rotating conducting disk with one stationary brush (a sliding electrical contact) at its axle and another at a point on its circumference as shown in Figure P30.17. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the disk. When superconducting coils are used to produce a large magnetic field, a homopolar generator can have a power output of several megawatts. Such a generator is useful, for example, in purifying metals by electrolysis. If a voltage is applied to the output terminals of the generator, it runs in reverse as a homopolar motor capable of providing great torque, useful in ship propulsion. At work the next morning, your supervisor tells you that the homopolar generator under consideration will have a magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.900 T and the radius of the disk is r = 0.400 m. The desired emf to be generated with the device is E=25.0V. Your supervisor asks you to determine the required angular speed of the disk to achieve this result. Figure P30.17arrow_forwardReview. After removing one string while restringing his acoustic guitar, a student is distracted by a video game. His experimentalist roommate notices his inattention and attaches one end of the string, of linear density = 3.00 103 kg/m, to a rigid support. The other end passes over a pulley, a distance, = 64.0 cm from the fixed end, and an object of mass m = 27.2 kg is attached to the hanging end of the string. The roommate places a magnet across the string as shown in Figure P23.19. The magnet does not touch the string, but produces a uniform field of 4.50 mT over a 2.00-cm length of the string and negligible field elsewhere. Strumming the string sets it vibrating vertically at its fundamental (lowest) frequency. The section of the string in the magnetic field moves perpendicular to the field with a uniform amplitude of 1.50 cm. Find (a) the frequency and (b) the amplitude of the emf induced between the ends of the string.arrow_forward
