Rotational Dynamics - Basic Introduction - By The Organic Chemistry Tutor
00:00 | a 10 kg block is attached to a 20 kg | |
00:04 | pulley Which is a solid disk of Radius two m | |
00:09 | . The block is released from rest , causing the | |
00:11 | disk to spin . What is the angular acceleration of | |
00:16 | the disk ? And how fast is the block fallen | |
00:19 | after eight seconds . So how can we calculate the | |
00:24 | angular acceleration of the disk ? What do we need | |
00:27 | to do ? Well , let's identify the forces that | |
00:31 | are in play here . So let's say that capital | |
00:35 | M . Represents the mass of the disk and lower | |
00:38 | case M . I'm not sure how that happened below | |
00:42 | a case . Um represents the mass of the block | |
00:45 | . Yeah . Now the block experience a downward weight | |
00:49 | force of MG . And there's an upward tension force | |
00:54 | that slows down the descent of the block and that | |
00:58 | tension force also causes the disk to spin in the | |
01:03 | clockwise direction . So with this information , how can | |
01:09 | we use it to calculate the angle acceleration ? And | |
01:14 | I'm going to describe T as being ft . So | |
01:17 | that's the tension force . So I don't confuse that | |
01:21 | with torque . So what we can do at this | |
01:27 | point is right an expression for the network acting on | |
01:31 | the disk . Now there's only one force acting on | |
01:34 | a disk which is the tension force and torque is | |
01:37 | force times the moment arm which in this case is | |
01:41 | the radius of the circle . So the net torque | |
01:43 | acting on the solid disc is the tension force multiplied | |
01:48 | by the radius of the circle . Now let's focus | |
01:51 | on the net force on a block . By the | |
01:54 | way the disk is held in place so the disk | |
01:58 | is allowed to spin but it can accelerate upward or | |
02:01 | downward . Only the block can accelerate downward . So | |
02:05 | we have to deal with the net force of the | |
02:07 | block . So the net force in the y direction | |
02:13 | of the block . It's based on these two forces | |
02:16 | . So we have an upward tension force . So | |
02:19 | it's going to be positive because it's directed in a | |
02:21 | positive direction plus the downward wait for us which is | |
02:25 | negative since it's going in a negative Y direction . | |
02:29 | Now the net force , based on Newton's second law | |
02:32 | , is mass times acceleration . So let's solve for | |
02:37 | the tension force . Let's move this term to that | |
02:39 | side . So M . A . Plus MG were | |
02:44 | raised in the Y direction . That's going to be | |
02:47 | equal to the tension force . Now , here's a | |
02:50 | question for you , Emma , should it be positive | |
02:54 | or negative ? Because the block is accelerated in the | |
02:59 | negative Y direction is going down . We need to | |
03:01 | put a negative in front of it . So we | |
03:04 | could say that detention force is equal to positive MG | |
03:10 | minus Mhm . So now at this point , what | |
03:15 | I'm going to do is replace the tension force in | |
03:17 | this equation with M . G minus M . E | |
03:22 | . So the net torque acting on a disk , | |
03:26 | it's going to be mg minus M . A times | |
03:30 | the radius . So now since I'm running out of | |
03:34 | space , let's erase a few things now . The | |
03:40 | acceleration or rather the linear acceleration is equal to the | |
03:44 | angular acceleration times the radius . So let's replace A | |
03:48 | with alpha times are so the network is now MG | |
03:54 | minus M . Alpha times are times are . So | |
03:59 | what I'm gonna do now is distribute our to these | |
04:01 | two terms . And at the same time I'm going | |
04:04 | to replace the network with inertia Times Alpha Based on | |
04:09 | you in 2nd law for rotational motion . So that's | |
04:12 | equal to mgr minus mm alpha times R squared . | |
04:20 | Now my goal is to calculate the anglican celebration . | |
04:24 | So I need to isolate this term . So what | |
04:27 | I'm gonna do now is take this term . Move | |
04:29 | it to the left side . So inertia times alpha | |
04:34 | plus I am out for R squared is equal to | |
04:39 | MGR Now this is the network acting on the disk | |
04:44 | . So this is the inertia of the disc . | |
04:49 | So right now let's factor out alpha . So what | |
04:53 | we're going to have is alpha multiplied by the inertia | |
04:57 | of the disc plus M R squared and that's equal | |
05:01 | to MGR . So for this particular problem , the | |
05:06 | angular acceleration can be calculated by taking the mass of | |
05:09 | the block , multiplied by the gravitational acceleration times the | |
05:12 | radius of the disk divided by the inertia of the | |
05:15 | disk plus M R squared . Where lower case M | |
05:20 | is the mass of the block . So now let's | |
05:22 | go ahead and calculate alpha . So that's going to | |
05:28 | be a massive 10 Times The gravitational acceleration of 9.8 | |
05:33 | . The radius of the disk is two m . | |
05:38 | Now , I represents the inertia And the inertia of | |
05:42 | a solid disc is 1/2 M . R squared , | |
05:46 | So the mass of the disk is 20 and the | |
05:51 | radius is too , So half of 20 is 10 | |
05:56 | And 10 times two squared is 40 . So the | |
05:59 | inertia of the disk is 40 Plus M . R | |
06:03 | Squared , which is going to be 10 Times are | |
06:06 | square , which is two square . So 10 times | |
06:10 | 9.8 is 98 , multiplied by two . So that's | |
06:14 | 196 , 10 times two squares 40 plus another 40 | |
06:20 | . That's gonna be 80 . So alpha is 196 | |
06:25 | divided by 80 . And so that's going to be | |
06:28 | 2.45 radiance per second squared . And so that's how | |
06:35 | you can calculate the angle acceleration of the disc . | |
06:40 | So that's how fast it's accelerated in this direction . | |
06:46 | Now , what about heartbeat ? How Fast is the | |
06:50 | block fallen after eight seconds . So how can we | |
06:53 | find that answer ? Well , the first thing we | |
06:56 | need to do is calculate the linear acceleration of the | |
06:59 | disk . If we could find that , then we | |
07:02 | could find out the acceleration of the block as it | |
07:04 | falls down because they have to be the same because | |
07:07 | they're attached to a rope and so they're going to | |
07:10 | move at the same rate . The linear acceleration of | |
07:14 | the disk is alpha , times are So we have | |
07:16 | alpha , which is 2.45 And the radius of the | |
07:20 | circle or the disk is two m , So 2.45 | |
07:25 | times two , It's 4.9 . So the linear acceleration | |
07:30 | of the system is 4.9 m/s squared . And so | |
07:33 | that's the acceleration of the block as it descends down | |
07:37 | . So now we could find a final speed of | |
07:39 | the block As it falls for eight seconds . So | |
07:44 | the final speed is going to be the initial speed | |
07:47 | plus 80 . The initial speed is zero because the | |
07:52 | block was released from rest And the linear acceleration is | |
07:57 | 4.9 multiplied by eight . So 4.9 times eight Is | |
08:08 | 39.2 m/s . So that's the speed of the block | |
08:11 | after eight seconds . Now , if we wanted to | |
08:14 | find the velocity of the block , this would have | |
08:18 | to be negative . The acceleration technically is negative for | |
08:21 | the block because It's accelerating in the negative y direction | |
08:25 | . And so the velocity is negative 39.2 m/s after | |
08:30 | eight seconds . Now , let's say if you wanted | |
08:34 | to find the distance , I wish to block . | |
08:37 | So for these eight seconds , what would you do | |
08:43 | ? So once you have Alpha , and once you | |
08:46 | have the final speed , you can easily find a | |
08:47 | distance at which the object fell . So you can | |
08:51 | use this equation , the final squared is equal to | |
08:54 | the initial square Plus two A . D . So | |
08:58 | you know the final speed is 39.2 . Once you | |
09:01 | square , the negative sign doesn't matter . The initial | |
09:03 | speed is zero And you have the linear acceleration , | |
09:06 | which is 4.9 . So now you can find D | |
09:09 | the vertical displacement of the object . So it's 39.2 | |
09:14 | square Which is 1536.64 And two times 4.9 is 9.8 | |
09:24 | . So take 1536.64 And divided by 9.8 . And | |
09:30 | so d is 156.8 m . So that's how far | |
09:37 | the object fell . I mean in the block , | |
09:40 | that's how far I fell after eight seconds . So | |
09:44 | , consider this problem . We have a five kg | |
09:47 | mass attached to a 20 kg pulley , which is | |
09:51 | a solid disc and let's say the radius of the | |
09:54 | pulley is three m , And that's attached to a | |
09:59 | hanging mass of 10 kg . Now , once this | |
10:03 | system is released from rest , we know the system | |
10:06 | is going to accelerate in this direction . How can | |
10:09 | we calculate the acceleration of the entire system ? So | |
10:15 | , if you want to try this problem , feel | |
10:18 | free to do so and see if you can get | |
10:21 | the right answer positivity if you want to try it | |
10:24 | . So , I'm going to show you two ways | |
10:25 | in which you get the answer . A quick and | |
10:28 | simple way . And also a step by step procedure | |
10:31 | if you want to write out all the equations . | |
10:34 | So , here's the quick and simple way to find | |
10:36 | acceleration based on you . In second law , the | |
10:39 | acceleration of the system is the net force acting on | |
10:43 | the system , divided by the total mass of the | |
10:46 | system . So the only force that's really driving the | |
10:52 | system to motion is really the weight force of this | |
10:55 | block . So that way force is the net force | |
11:00 | acting on the entire system . So let's call this | |
11:03 | M . two . Let's call this M . one | |
11:07 | and this is going to be capital . M . | |
11:09 | The mass of the disk . So the net force | |
11:11 | of the system is M two G . Let's put | |
11:16 | G here and then we need to divided by the | |
11:20 | total mass of the system . So that's the mass | |
11:23 | of the first block , plus the mass of the | |
11:25 | hanging block . And we can't just use this mass | |
11:30 | . We need to take into account this equation . | |
11:35 | The inertia of a disk is 1/2 M . R | |
11:38 | squared . Now for different shapes this number could vary | |
11:46 | , so I'm going to put a constancy so I | |
11:49 | like to think of it as inertial mass . You | |
11:52 | could call it something else if you want , but | |
11:54 | we need that see value to be in this equation | |
11:56 | for this to work . So that's how you can | |
11:59 | find the acceleration of the system for this type of | |
12:03 | system . So let's go ahead and calculate it . | |
12:07 | So M two is 10 . G is 9.8 . | |
12:11 | M one is 5 . M two is 10 . | |
12:15 | See for a disc is 1/2 And the mass of | |
12:20 | the solid disc is 20 kg . So 10 times | |
12:24 | 9.8 is 98 , half of 20 is 10 Plus | |
12:29 | another 10 , that's 20 plus five . So this | |
12:33 | is going to be 25 98 divided by 25 Is | |
12:43 | 3.92 m/s squared . So this is the acceleration of | |
12:49 | the entire system . So let's see if we can | |
12:51 | get that answer . Using another process . So how | |
13:05 | should we do this ? We need to indicate other | |
13:09 | forces that is acting on the system . So we | |
13:13 | got the downward way force em to G . And | |
13:16 | there's an upward tension force that slows down the descent | |
13:19 | of this object . Let's call that T to detention | |
13:23 | force acting on block two . Now we have T | |
13:26 | . one Which pulls Black 1 to the right Now | |
13:32 | these two tension forces are acting on the Pulley . | |
13:38 | So if T two lifts up the object , You | |
13:41 | can be sure that T . two causes the disk | |
13:44 | to be poured in the clockwise direction , And T | |
13:50 | . one causes the disk to be pulled in the | |
13:54 | counterclockwise direction opposite to that value . And so then | |
14:00 | that torque acting on the disk is the difference between | |
14:05 | these two hours . Now in another video I defined | |
14:09 | a positive torque as a talk that causes counterclockwise rotation | |
14:15 | . So T one Torque 1 is positive . Well | |
14:20 | T1 rather detention force that creates that work is going | |
14:24 | to be positive T . To this tension force will | |
14:28 | create a negative torque because it will cause the disk | |
14:35 | to rotate in a clockwise direction , which I signed | |
14:38 | earlier as a negative torque value . So the network | |
14:41 | of the system , It's going to be the positive | |
14:44 | to work . T . one minus the negative torque | |
14:47 | teach you . And the network is equal to inertia | |
14:51 | times alpha in the same way as net force is | |
14:54 | mass times acceleration . So the network is the inertia | |
14:58 | times the angle acceleration Based on Newton's 2nd Law for | |
15:01 | Rotational Motion . So that's gonna be the difference between | |
15:04 | T . one or talk one minus talked to . | |
15:09 | Now I'm going to take a moment to improve this | |
15:12 | drawn so there is no confusion , so T one | |
15:20 | is being directed opposite to this tension . They have | |
15:23 | to be equal in the opposite direction , and t | |
15:26 | to acting on the disk is in this direction . | |
15:30 | Now T one is going to create a torque that | |
15:35 | will cause the disk to spin in the counter clockwise | |
15:39 | direction . So that's work is positive And T two | |
15:45 | will create . Let's see if I can fit it | |
15:47 | here , A negative torque which will cause this to | |
15:54 | spin in the clockwise direction . And this has been | |
15:56 | in a counterclockwise direction . Keep in mind , clockwise | |
16:00 | rotation is negative . Counterclockwise rotation is associated for positive | |
16:06 | to work . So as we said before , the | |
16:09 | network Is going to be the positive toward T one | |
16:15 | teach you . And so network is inertia times alpha | |
16:22 | . Now the inertia of a solid disc is one | |
16:26 | half times the mass of the disc times r squared | |
16:31 | . Now , linear acceleration is equal to the angular | |
16:34 | acceleration times are . So angular acceleration is linear acceleration | |
16:39 | divided by art . So I'm going to replace Alpha | |
16:42 | with a over our and so that's equal to this | |
16:54 | stuff on the right side . So now let's cancel | |
17:00 | our So what we have left over is 1/2 M | |
17:06 | . R . A . Which is equal to Torque | |
17:08 | one to work . One is equal to the tension | |
17:12 | force times the moment arm , which is the radius | |
17:15 | of the circle . So that's gonna be T one | |
17:18 | times are And to work to it's going to be | |
17:21 | T two times are . So we can divide both | |
17:25 | sides by our So now we have 1/2 mm . | |
17:33 | Which is the difference Between the two tension forces . | |
17:38 | Now the network , is it positive or is it | |
17:42 | negative ? What would you say ? Now ? We | |
17:44 | know the whole system is moving in this direction , | |
17:47 | which means that the disk has a network that causes | |
17:51 | it to rotate in the clockwise direction which is associated | |
17:56 | with a negative torque . So therefore we need to | |
17:58 | put a negative sign . So now let's save this | |
18:04 | equation , we're going to get back to it so | |
18:08 | I can erase some of the stuff above here because | |
18:11 | I'm going to need a space soon . So I'm | |
18:27 | going to rewrite the equation up here . T 1 | |
18:30 | . -52 Is -1/2 . And me now we need | |
18:42 | to relate the tension forces to these two masses . | |
18:46 | So now we need to write expressions for the net | |
18:48 | force acting on each object . So let's start with | |
18:51 | the first object mass one . The net force acting | |
18:55 | on mass one is equal to this tension force because | |
18:59 | there's no other forces acting on it , at least | |
19:02 | in the X . Direction . So the net force | |
19:05 | and that block is equal to Emma , So T | |
19:09 | . one is equal to Emma . So that's the | |
19:12 | first equation that we can right now let's move on | |
19:16 | to block too . So the net force acting on | |
19:21 | block two , which is associate with the wind direction | |
19:25 | , That's going to be equal to the upward tension | |
19:27 | force . T . two minus the downward wait for | |
19:30 | M . Two G . Now keep in mind , | |
19:32 | MTG is negative because it's going in negative Y direction | |
19:35 | , that's what we have the negative sign and he | |
19:37 | is positive because it's going in a positive direction . | |
19:41 | Now the net force acting on Block two is equal | |
19:44 | to M . Two times A . And this is | |
19:46 | supposed to be M . One A . Now because | |
19:50 | this is moving in a negative Y direction , we | |
19:52 | need to put a negative sign in front of them | |
19:54 | to a . M . one is moving in the | |
19:57 | positive X . Direction . So therefore it requires a | |
20:00 | positive sign . So now I'm going to take this | |
20:07 | term , move it to the left side . So | |
20:11 | therefore M . two G Plus M . two A | |
20:15 | . Is equal to T . two . So that's | |
20:18 | the second equation that we need . So now our | |
20:21 | next step is to replace T . one with M | |
20:24 | . one a . And then replace T . two | |
20:28 | with M . Two G plus mt way . Now | |
20:35 | there's one small correction that I need to make that | |
20:40 | should not be a plus sign since I have a | |
20:43 | negative sign right there . So let's put that minus | |
20:45 | sign . So now let's replace T . one with | |
20:52 | M . One A . And then minus T . | |
20:59 | Two . Which is this stuff here . So let's | |
21:03 | put that in parentheses . So that's gonna be minus | |
21:05 | M . Two G -M2 A . And all of | |
21:09 | that is equal to negative 1/2 . Mhm . Yeah | |
21:24 | so now let's distribute the negative sign . So this | |
21:27 | is going to be M1 a -M two G plus | |
21:33 | M two A . And that's equal to negative one | |
21:35 | half M . A . So I'm going to take | |
21:38 | this term , move it to the right side so | |
21:40 | it becomes positive and then I'm going to take this | |
21:44 | term , move it to the left side so that | |
21:47 | becomes positive . So it's gonna be M . one | |
21:50 | a . Plus , I am too eh Plus 1/2 | |
21:55 | capital Emma And that's equal to positive M two G | |
22:01 | . So now I can factor out a from each | |
22:03 | of these three terms . So it's gonna be A | |
22:06 | times M one plus M two Plus 1/2 . And | |
22:13 | that's gonna be equal to MTG . So I need | |
22:16 | to divide both sides by this term . So this | |
22:19 | is my final equation . The acceleration is equal to | |
22:23 | the Darwin weight force , which is basically the net | |
22:25 | force of the system divided by the total mass of | |
22:28 | the system . Where you have to incorporate the c | |
22:35 | . value which is 1/2 for disk . So now | |
22:40 | let's plug everything in . So M2 is 10 , | |
22:43 | G is 9.8 . M one is 5 M . | |
22:47 | Two is 10 plus one half Times the mass of | |
22:52 | the disk , which is 20 . So this is | |
22:54 | gonna be 98 Divided by 25 just like before . | |
22:59 | And that's going to give us the same answer of | |
23:01 | 3.92 meters per second square . So that's the acceleration | |
23:07 | of the whole system . So that's how you can | |
23:10 | find it . So now you have two ways in | |
23:12 | which you can come up with this equation . |
