A 500 g steel block

rotates on a steel table while attached to a 2.0-m-long massless rod. Compressed air fed through the rod is ejected from a Inozzle on the back of the block, exerting a thrust force of 3.5 N. The nozzle is 70^\circ from the radial line, as shown in the figure . The block starts from rest.
a)What is the block's angular velocity after 10 rev?
b)What is the tension in the rod after 10 rev?

a) After 10 rev, the block's angular velocity will be dizzying, just like trying to chase a clown in circles! But let's calculate it a little differently.

To find the angular velocity, we first need to determine the moment of inertia (I) of the system. Since the block is rotating about an axis perpendicular to its face, we can use the formula for the moment of inertia of a thin rod rotating about one end, which is I = 1/3 * m * L^2. Here, m represents the mass of the block and L represents the length of the rod.

Given that the mass of the block is 500 g (or 0.5 kg) and the length of the rod is 2.0 m, we can plug in these values to calculate the moment of inertia.

I = 1/3 * 0.5 kg * (2.0 m)^2
I = 2/3 kg m^2

Now, let's tackle the angular velocity. We know that torque (τ) is equal to the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration (α). The torque acting on the system is given by the thrust force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force. In this case, the perpendicular distance is the length of the rod (2.0 m) and the force is 3.5 N. Therefore, the torque can be calculated as:

τ = F * r = 3.5 N * 2.0 m = 7 Nm

Since the block starts from rest, its initial angular velocity (ω) is 0. Using the equation τ = I * α, we can rearrange to find α:

α = τ / I = 7 Nm / (2/3 kg m^2)
α = 10.5 rad/s^2

Finally, we can find the angular velocity (ω) after 10 rev (i.e., 20π rad):

ω = α * t = 10.5 rad/s^2 * 20π rad / (2π rad)
ω = 210 rad/s

So, after 10 rev, the block's angular velocity will be 210 rad/s.

b) To find the tension in the rod, we need to consider the rotational motion and the centripetal force acting on the block.

The centripetal force (Fc) acting on the block is provided by the tension in the rod. It can be calculated using the formula Fc = m * v^2 / r, where m is the mass of the block, v is the tangential velocity, and r is the radius of the circular path.

The tangential velocity (v) can be obtained using the angular velocity (ω) and the radius of the circular path (which is the length of the rod, 2.0 m). It can be calculated as:

v = ω * r = 210 rad/s * 2.0 m
v = 420 m/s

Now, let's calculate the centripetal force:

Fc = m * v^2 / r = 0.5 kg * (420 m/s)^2 / 2.0 m
Fc = 44100 N

So, the tension in the rod after 10 rev is a whopping 44100 N! That's some serious pull. Make sure to hold on tight!

To determine the block's angular velocity after 10 revolutions and the tension in the rod, we need to use the principles of rotational motion.

First, let's calculate the torque exerted on the block by the thrust force. Torque (τ) is defined as the product of the force applied and the lever arm distance (r) from the axis of rotation. In this case, the lever arm is the length of the rod (l).

τ = F * r

τ = (3.5 N) * (2.0 m) = 7 N⋅m

Next, we need to use the moment of inertia (I) to relate torque and angular acceleration (α). The moment of inertia describes how objects resist rotational motion and depends on the mass and distribution of the mass around the axis of rotation.

The moment of inertia for a point mass rotating around an axis at a distance (r) is given by the formula:

I = m * r^2

For a steel block of mass (m = 500 g = 0.5 kg) rotating about one end of the rod (r = l = 2.0 m), the moment of inertia is:

I = (0.5 kg) * (2.0 m)^2 = 2 kg⋅m^2

Now, we can use the torque and moment of inertia to determine the angular acceleration (α) using the rotational analog of Newton's second law:

τ = I * α

Rearranging the equation, we have:

α = τ / I

α = (7 N⋅m) / (2 kg⋅m^2) = 3.5 rad/s^2

Now, we can find the angular velocity (ω) after 10 revolutions. One revolution is equal to 2π radians, so 10 revolutions is equal to 20π radians.

ω = α * t

Here, t is the time taken to complete 10 revolutions.

t = (10 rev) / (ω / 2π) = (10 rev) / (3.5 rad/s^2 / 2π) ≈ 1.81 s

Now, we can substitute the values into the equation to find the angular velocity:

ω = (3.5 rad/s^2) * (1.81 s) = 6.335 rad/s

a) The block's angular velocity after 10 revolutions is approximately 6.335 rad/s.

To calculate the tension in the rod after 10 revolutions, we need to consider the centripetal force acting on the block. This force is provided by the tension in the rod.

Centripetal force (Fc) is given by the formula:

Fc = m * r * ω^2

Substituting the known values, we have:

Fc = (0.5 kg) * (2.0 m) * (6.335 rad/s)^2 ≈ 40.06 N

The tension in the rod is equal to the centripetal force:

Tension = Fc ≈ 40.06 N

b) The tension in the rod after 10 revolutions is approximately 40.06 N.

Tough one, cutie.
