A softball player swings a bat, accelerating it from rest to 2.6 rev/srev/s in a time of 0.20 ss . Approximate the bat as a 0.90-kgkg uniform rod of length 0.95 mm, and compute the torque the player applies to one end of it.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\tau=22.13Nm[/tex]

Explanation:

information we have:

mass: [tex]m=0.9kg[/tex]

lenght: [tex]L=0.95m[/tex]

frequency: [tex]f=2.6rev/s[/tex]

time: [tex]t=0.2s[/tex]

and from the information we have we can calculate the angular velocity [tex]\omega[/tex]. which is defined as

[tex]\omega=2\pi f[/tex]

[tex]\omega=2\pi (2.6rev/s)\\\omega=16.336 rev/s[/tex]

----------------------------

Now, to calculate the torque

We use the formula

[tex]\tau=I \alpha[/tex]

where [tex]I[/tex]  is the moment of inertia and [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the angular acceleration

moment of inertia of a uniform rod about the end of it:

[tex]I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2[/tex]

substituting known values:

[tex]I=\frac{1}{3} (0.9kg)(0.95m)^2\\I=0.271kg/m^2[/tex]

for the torque we also need the acceleration [tex]\alpha[/tex] which is defined as:

[tex]\alpha=\frac{\omega}{t}[/tex]

susbtituting known values:

[tex]\alpha=\frac{16.336rev/s}{0.2s} \\\alpha=81.68rev/s^2[/tex]

and finally we substitute [tex]I[/tex] and  [tex]\alpha[/tex]  into the torque equation [tex]\tau=I \alpha[/tex]:[tex]\tau=(0.271kg/m^2)(81.68rev(s^2)\\\tau=22.13Nm[/tex]

The torque the player applies is mathematically given as

t=22.13Nm

What is the torque the player applies?

Question Parameter(s):

a bat, accelerating it from rest to 2.6 rev/srev/s in a time of 0.20 s

the bat has a 0.90-kg mass

Generally, the equation for the Torque  is mathematically given as

T=Ia

Where

I=1/3mL^2

I=1/3(0.9kg)(0.95m)^2

I=0.271kg/m^2

And

[tex]a=\frac{16.336rev/s}{0.2s}[/tex]

a=81.68rev/s^2

In conclusion, The torque

t=(0.271)(81.68)

t=22.13Nm
