Math Problem Statement
Solution
This problem involves analyzing the dynamics and energy balance of a pulley system. I'll solve it step by step:
Given Data:
- Block mass
- Pulley mass
- Pulley radius (diameter is 0.2 m)
- Pulley moment of inertia
- Height
We assume no slipping between the rope and the pulley.
a) Velocity of the block before touching the ground ():
Using energy conservation:
Here, (relationship between angular and linear velocity).
Substitute and :
