A cord is wrapped around the rim of a solid uniform wheel 0.280 m in radius and of mass 7.80 kg. A steady horizontal pull of 34.0 N to the right is exerted on the cord, pulling it off tangentially from the wheel. The wheel is mounted on frictionless bearings on a horizontal axle through its center. Required:
a. Compute the angular acceleration of the wheel
b. Compute the acceleration of the part of the cord that has already been pulled off the wheel.
c. Find the magnitude of the force that the axle exerts on the wheel.
d. Find the direction of the force that the axle exerts on the wheel.
e. Which of the answers in parts A, B, C, and D would change if the pull were upward instead of horizontal?

Solution :

Given :

Mass, m = 7.80 kg

Radius, r = 0.280 m

Force, F = 34 N

a). St = I x a

b). The acceleration of the part of the chord is

    = 31.13 x 0.280

c). Magnitude of the force is =

                                               = 83.73 N

d). The direction of force is = arctan (7.8 x 9.81)/34

                                             = 2.25

e). The answers in part (c) and (d) will change when the pull of force is given in the upward direction instead of giving in the horizontal direction

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
