Translation and Rotation for Freely Rolling Disks and Spheres

A cord is wrapped around the outer surface of the 10-kg disk. If a force of F = (¼ θ 2) N, where 𝜽
is in radians, is applied to the cord, determine the disk’s angular acceleration when it has turned
5 revolutions. The disk has an initial angular velocity of ω 0= 1 rad/s.

Given:

m= 10 kg F = (¼ θ2 ) N ω 0= 1 rad/s

Solution:
1
∑ M A =I A α ; I A= 2 m r 2

( 14 ) θ (0.3 m)=( 12 )(10)(0.3 )α

2 2

α =0. 168 θ2 rad /s 2     answer
