Rotational Kinematics & Dynamics
A rope is wound around a solid cylinder of mass 1 kg and radius 0.4 m. What is the angular acceleration of cylinder, if the rope is pulled with a force of 25 N? (Cylinder is rotating about its own axis.)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Solid cylinder: kg m
- N m
- rad/s
- So the answer is (a) 125 rad/s.
