Somehow, an ant is stuck to the rim of a bicycle wheel of diameter 1 m. While the bicycle is on a central stand, the wheel is set into rotation and it attains the frequency of 2 rev/s in 10 seconds, with uniform angular acceleration. Calculate:
- The number of revolutions completed by the ant in these 10 seconds.
- Time is taken by it for first complete revolution and the last complete revolution.
Answer in Brief:
A flywheel used to prepare earthenware pots is set into rotation at 100 rpm. It is in the form of a disc of mass 10 kg and a radius 0.4 m. A lump of clay (to be taken equivalent to a particle) of mass 1.6 kg falls on it and adheres to it at a certain distance x from the center. Calculate x if the wheel now rotates at 80 rpm.
A big dumb-bell is prepared by using a uniform rod of mass 60 g and length 20 cm. Two identical solid spheres of mass 25 g and radius 10 cm each are at the two ends of the rod. Calculate the moment of inertia of the dumb-bell when rotated about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the length.
