Rotational Motion Question 208

Question: A solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and radius 0.5 m is free to rotate about the horizontal axis. A massless string is wound round the cylinder with one end attached to it and other hanging freely. Tension in the string required to produce an angular acceleration of 2 revolutions s2 is

Options:

A) 25 N

B) 50 N

C) 78.5 N

D) 157 N

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d]

Here α=2revolutions/s2=4πrad/s2

(given)

Icylinder=12MR2=12(50)(0.5)2= 254Kgm2

Asτ=IαsoTR=Iα

T=IαR=(254)(4π)(0.5)N=50πN=157N
