Math Problem Statement

What is the door moment of interia for rotation of a vertical axis with 13 centimet inside the door edge. Here is The data of the door: weight 20 kilo gram, 220 centimet tall and 91 centimet wide.

Solution

To calculate the moment of inertia (II) of a door rotating about a vertical axis located 13 cm from its edge, we'll use the parallel axis theorem. Here's the step-by-step solution:


1. Moment of inertia for a rectangular door about its center

The formula for the moment of inertia of a thin rectangular sheet about an axis parallel to one side through its center is:

Icenter=13Mh2I_{\text{center}} = \frac{1}{3} M h^2

For the door:

  • M=20kgM = 20 \, \text{kg} (mass of the door),
  • h=2.2mh = 2.2 \, \text{m} (height of the door).

Icenter=13(20)(2.2)2=13×20×4.84=32.27kg\cdotpm2I_{\text{center}} = \frac{1}{3} (20) (2.2)^2 = \frac{1}{3} \times 20 \times 4.84 = 32.27 \, \text{kg·m}^2


2. Parallel axis theorem

The door's axis of rotation is not at its center but 13 cm (0.13 m) from the edge. Using the parallel axis theorem:

I=Icenter+Md2I = I_{\text{center}} + M d^2

Where:

  • d=0.13md = 0.13 \, \text{m} (distance from the center to the new axis).

Substitute the values:

I=32.27+20(0.13)2I = 32.27 + 20 \cdot (0.13)^2

I=32.27+200.0169=32.27+0.338I = 32.27 + 20 \cdot 0.0169 = 32.27 + 0.338

I=32.608kg\cdotpm2I = 32.608 \, \text{kg·m}^2


Final Answer:

The moment of inertia of the door about the vertical axis located 13 cm from its edge is:

32.61kg\cdotpm2\boxed{32.61 \, \text{kg·m}^2}
