Determine the angular acceleration of the uniform disk if (a) the rotational inertia of the disk is ignored and (b) the inertia of the disk is considered. The system is released from rest, the cord does not slip on the disk, and bearing friction at O may be neglected. The angular acceleration is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise.

α = 7.848 rad/s^2  ... Without disk inertia

α = 6.278 rad/s^2   With disk inertia

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the disk, M = 5 kg

- The right hanging mass, mb = 4 kg

- The left hanging mass, ma = 6 kg

- The radius of the disk, r = 0.25 m

Find:-

Determine the angular acceleration of the uniform disk without and with considering the inertia of disk

Solution:-

- Assuming the inertia of the disk is negligible. The two masses ( A & B )  are hung over the disk in a pulley system. The disk is supported by a fixed support with hinge at the center of the disk.

- We will make a Free body diagram for each end of the rope/string ties to the masses A and B.

- The tension in the left and right string is considered to be ( T ).

- Apply newton's second law of motion for mass A and mass B.

                      ma*g - T = ma*a

                      T - mb*g = mb*a

Where,

* The tangential linear acceleration ( a ) with which the system of two masses assumed to be particles move with combined constant acceleration.

- g: The gravitational acceleration constant = 9.81 m/s^2

- Sum the two equations for both masses A and B:

                      g* ( ma - mb ) = ( ma + mb )*a

                      a =  g* ( ma - mb ) / ( ma + mb )

                      a = 9.81* ( 6 - 4 ) / ( 6 + 4 ) = 9.81 * ( 2 / 10 )

                      a = 1.962 m/s^2  

- The rope/string moves with linear acceleration of ( a ) which rotates the disk counter-clockwise in the direction of massive object A.

- The linear acceleration always acts tangent to the disk at a distance radius ( r ).

- For no slip conditions, the linear acceleration can be equated to tangential acceleration ( at ). The correlation between linear-rotational kinematics is given below :

                     a = at = 1.962 m/s^2

                     at = r*α      

Where,

           α: The angular acceleration of the object ( disk )

                    α = at / r

                    α = 1.962 / 0.25

                    α = 7.848 rad/s^2                                

- Take moments about the pivot O of the disk. Apply rotational dynamics conditions:

                Sum of moments ∑M = Iα

                 ( Ta - Tb )*r = Iα

- The moment about the pivots are due to masses A and B.

               Ta: The force in string due to mass A

               Tb: The force in string due to mass B

                I: The moment of inertia of disk = 0.5*M*r^2

                   ( ma*a - mb*a )*r = 0.5*M*r^2*α

                   α = ( ma*a - mb*a ) / ( 0.5*M*r )

                   α = ( 6*1.962 - 4*1.962 ) / ( 0.5*5*0.25 )

                   α = ( 3.924 ) / ( 0.625 )

                   α = 6.278 rad/s^2

this is true

answer:

in baseband transmission the whole bandwidth of the cable is utilized by a single signal. eg.Ethernet is using Basebands for LAN.

In the broadband transmission, multiple signals are sent on multiple frequencies simultaneously using a single channel. eg.Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
