Now that you know how to calculate the torque using components of vector r, plug in values from a trial of your choice.
The mass of the weights in each trial are:
Trial 1: 4.54 kg
How can you use the tools available to measure the perpendicular component of r? (This time, limit yourself to only using the vertical line and the horizontal ruler.)
How many forces provide the counterclockwise torque in the first part of the experiment?
P.s. I had this question answered but I was confused on what the actually answer is. Is there only one force or three forces providing the couterclockwise torque? Please clarify more.
As shown on Figure below, Atwood's Machine consists of two masses, m, and m2, i.e., m, > m,
suspended from a pulley that is attached to the ceiling. The sizes of the blocks are ignored in all
cases. The pulley is a thin disk of mass M and radius R. Do NOT ignore the motion of the pulley in
this problem. The tension T, is in the rope pulling on mass
m, and the tension T; is in the rope pulling on mass m2.
a) Using the Newton's second law, write expressions
M
for the two masses and the pulley. You can use the
R
unknown tensions T, and Tz in your expression. Be
sure to explicitly indicate your chosen coordinate
T2
axes in all cases.
b) Mass m, starts from rest a distance h above the
m2
floor. Find a, the linear acceleration of the blocks.
(Hint: the angular acceleration of the pulley
determines how fast the blocks move.)
c) At what speed does m, hit the floor?
d) What is the rotational speed of the pulley just as m,
hits the floor?
