Asmall grinding wheel is attached to the shaft of an electric motor which has a rated speed of 3600 rpm. when the power is turned on, the unit reaches its rated speed in 5s, and when the power is turned off, the unit coasts to rest in 70s. assuming uniformly accelerated motion, determine the number of revolutions that the motor executes (a) in reaching its rated speed, (b) in coasting to rest.

a) 150 rev. b) 2105 rev.

Explanation:

a) Assuming a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the equivalent kinematic equations, replacing linear variables by angular ones.

In order to get the number of revolutions executed, we can use this:

ωf² - ω₀² = 2 γ Δθ (1)

For the first part, we know that ω₀ = 0 (as it starts from rest).

We can find out the value of angular acceleration γ, just applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the change in angular velocity, regarding time, as follows:

γ = (ωf - ω₀) / Δt (2)

As we would want to use SI units, it is advisable to convert the value of ωf, from rpm to rad/sec.

3600 rev/min . (1min/60 sec) . (2π rad/rev) = 120π rad/sec

Replacing in (2), we get γ:

γ = 120 π / 5 rad/sec² = 24 π rad/sec²

Replacing in (1) and solving for Δθ:

Δθ = 120² π² / 2. 24 π = 300 π rad

As 1 rev = 2π rad, Δθ = 150 rev

b) For the second part, we can use exactly the same equations, taking into account that ω₀ = 120 π rad/sec, and that ωf = 0.

The new value for γ is as follows:

γ = -120π  / 70 rad/sec² = -1.71 rad/sec²

Replacing in (1) and solving for Δθ, we get:

Δθ = -120² π² / 2. (-1.71) π = 4210 π rad

As 1 rev = 2π rad, Δθ = 2105 rev
