Answer:
The angular speed is 23.24 rad/s.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the disk, m = 7 kg
radius of the disk, r = 0.2 m
applied force, F = 42 N
distance moved by disk, d = 0.9 m
The torque experienced by the disk is calculated as follows;
τ = F x d = I x α
where;
I is the moment of inertia of the disk = ¹/₂mr²
α is the angular acceleration
F x r = ¹/₂mr² x α
The angular acceleration is calculated as;
[tex]\alpha = \frac{2Fr}{mr^2} \\\\\ \alpha = \frac{2F}{mr}\\\\\alpha = \frac{2 \times 42 }{7 \times 0.2} \\\\\alpha = 60 \ rad/s^2[/tex]
The angular speed is determined by applying the following kinematic equation;
[tex]\omega _f^2 = \omega_i ^2 + 2\alpha \theta[/tex]
initial angular speed, ωi = 0
angular distance, θ = d/r = 0.9/0.2 = 4.5 rad
[tex]\omega _f^2 = 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f = \sqrt{2\alpha \theta} \\\\\omega _f = \sqrt{2 \times 60 \times 4.5} \\\\\omega _f = 23.24 \ rad/s[/tex]
Therefore, the angular speed is 23.24 rad/s.
