A rope is wrapped around the rim of a wheel of moment of inertia 0.10 Kg-m2 and radius 10 cm. The wheel is fixed such that it can freely rotate about its axis. If a person is pulling the rope with the constant force of 10 N. Find the length of the rope detached from the pulley for t=0 to t=10 s
Pure Translational motion-
If each particle of it has same velocity/acceleration at a particular instant of time then A body is said to have pure translational motion.
Slipping-
It is motion in which the body slides on a surface without rotation.
Example- Motion of a wheel on a frictionless surface.
Here friction between the body and surface =f= 0
Wheel possess only translatory kinetic energy
i.e., -
Pure rotational motion-
When a body rotates such that its axis of rotation does not move then that body is said to have pure rotational motion.
In pure rotational motion each particle of body has same angular velocity/acceleration about its axis of rotation at a particular instant of time.
Example- Spinning of wheel about fixed axis
Here axis of rotation of a wheel is fixed.
Here body possess only rotary kinetic energy.
I.e
Here Rotational angular momentum =
Where = Moment of inertia about fixed axis of rotation
= angular velocity of rotation
Another example- Motion of blades of a fan
Combined rotation and translation motion
In this type of motion body is having both rotation and translation motion.
Rolling
In case of rolling motion a body rotates about a fixed axis, and the axis of rotation also moves.
Example- Rolling of football on ground
Here friction between the body and surface =
Kinetic energy-
Total kinetic energy of body is sum of both translational and rotational kinetic energy.
Using
Where,
Angular momentum is always calculated about a particular point.
Net Angular momentum of body is sum of angular momentum due to both translational and rotational motion.
Where represents the angular momentum of the body about center of mass and r is the position vector about which we have to calculate the angular momentum.
