As an intern with an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel, for rotation about an axis through its center. since you were a good physics student, you know what to do. you measure the diameter of the wheel to be 0.72 m and find that it weighs 256 n . you mount the wheel, using frictionless bearings, on a horizontal axis through the wheel's center. you wrap a light rope around the wheel and hang a 7.76 kg mass from the free end of the rope. you release the mass from rest; the mass descends and the wheel turns as the rope unwinds. you find that the mass has speed 3.5 m/s after it has descended 2.6 m . (a) what is the moment of inertia of the wheel for an axis perpendicular to the wheel at its center?
(b) your boss tells you that a larger i is needed. he asks you to design a wheel of the same mass and radius that has i = 19.0 kg*m2. how do you reply?

For problems 1-3, consider a simple dc brush motor with a permanent magnet stator. with an an consider a simple dc brush motor with a permanent magnet ae supply voltage of 100 v, the no-load speed of the motor is 1000 rpm. this motor can provide a torque of 1.9 n-m at 800 rpm drawing a current of 2 a current are both zero at no load.) 1. with an armature supply voltage of 100 v, the motor is operated at 900 rpm. what is the motor torque? what is the mechanical power delivered by the motor? what is the current draw? what is the electrical power input? what is the energy efficiency of the motor? with an armature supply voltage of 100 v, the motor is operated at 1100 rpm (where it acts as a generator). what torque input is required? what mechanical power is required what current is generated? what is the electrical power generated? what is the energy efficiency of the motor acting as a generator? 2. with an armature supply voltage raised to 120 v, the motor is operated at 1000 rpm. what is the no-load speed? what is the motor torque? what is the mechanical power delivered by the motor? what is the current draw? what is the electrical power input what is the energy efficiency of the motor? 3.

Aplane flies a distance d from west to east at a constant speed vp , with respect to the air in a time twe . on the return trip, the plane flies a distance d from east to west at a constant speed vp , with respect to the air in a time tew . on both trips the wind blows from west to east at a constant speed va , with respect to the ground 1) what is tew in terms of vp, va, and d, as needed? tew=dvp tew=dvp+va tew=dva tew=dvpâ’va tew=12dvp tew=12dvp+va tew=12dvpâ’va your submissions: b submitted: saturday, january 26 at 6: 49 pm feedback: feedback will be given once all questions have been attempted and the grade cluster button has been pressed. 2) what is twe in terms of vp, va, and d, as needed? twe=dvp twe=dvp+va twe=dva twe=dvpâ’va twe=12dvp twe=12dvp+va twe=12dvpâ’va your submissions: d submitted: saturday, january 26 at 6: 49 pm feedback: feedback will be given once all questions have been attempted and the grade cluster button has been pressed. 3) assuming d = 2300 miles, vp = 400 miles/hr, and twe = 4 hours, what is va, the speed of the wind with respect to the ground? va = 100 miles/hr va = 575 miles/hr va = 200 miles/hr va = 175 miles/hr va = 975 miles/hr 4) once again, assuming d = 2300 miles, vp = 400 miles/hr, and twe = 4 hours, what is tew, the time it takes the plane to fly a distance d miles from east to west? tew = 5.75 hours tew = 11.5 hours tew = 7.67 hours tew = 8 hours tew = 10.2 hours
