Physics 13 Application of Moment of Inertia and Angular Acceleration (5 of 5)

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Gareth M The tension in the string acts in both directions. Thus when you draw a free body diagram, the direction of the tension will be relative to the body in consideration. Relative to the pulley the tension acts downward. Relative to the two masses, the tension acts upwards.

[@bucketrance]

If just my professor was only a fraction as good as you I'd be so happy

[@tommasobruggi6614]

Your explanations are extraordinarily clear. I feel every word is chosen accurately, but apart from the terminology the explanations are clear AND adequatly concise. Moreover, the vast range of problems (in difficulty and in topics) makes this probably the best channel for physics on youtube.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Only when the pulley has no mass (no moment of inertia) and no friction is the tension in the string the same on both sides.

[@senakawijayakoon]

+Michel van Biezen If there is not a friction between string and pulley then string must slip over the pulley. That means pulley must not rotate instead of that string is slipping over the pulley. It is not clear how tangent force of the string which has a tension acts on pulley?. Again it is clear if tangent is acting on pulley then friction force must act between pulley and string. Other wise how tangent force acted

[@MichelvanBiezen]

There are two ways to do this problem. One way is to call the direction of the acceleration the positive directions. Then I call all the forces helping (or pushing) the acceleration positive forces and all the forces opposing the acceleration negative forces. The other way is the draw free body diagrams and up is always positive and down is always negative. This method is more difficult and you will have to solve multiple equations and multiple unknowns.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

In the case of a problem like this where you have to take into account the moment of inertia of the disk, you have to assume a positive and a negative direction for the torque. Traditionally the counter clockwise direction is positive and the counterclockwise direction is negative.

[@Chaoddity]

This free-body diagram also serves as a handy reference for the volume of this video's left and right audio channels. Joking aside, thank you a lot. It was very clear and concise.

[@garethm3171]

Why are the Tension forces T1 & T2 in the same direction as m1g and m2g?

[@AzulaOTP]

Because we only look from the pulley's point of view. Had we instead taken a look at the forces acting on m1, the direction of the tension T1 would be upward.

[@singto500]

The professor used a pulley as a system. So the tension in pulley's point of view must point down.

[@adityamishra1185]

because tension is pulling force

How do we know which tension is larger and which one is smaller? thank u for ur invaluable work! I hope u will response my question! am waiting!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

It is easy to check. Once you have calculated the acceleration, for the larger mass accelerating downward: T = (10)(9.8) - (10)(a) and for the smaller mass accelerating upward: T = (5)(9.8) + (5)(a)

[@steveb5757]

[@nicholasbraud1986]

Thanks, I have been searching KZbin for this exact problem. Are there situations in which there would be a center friction on the circle that would act against the flow of motion? If so, any videos on this?

[@XtraNormalVideos888]

[@figgahh5823]

why does T1=m1g - m1a, when both forces are in the same direction, shouldn't they be added? and shouldn't the tension forces be opposing the m1g and m2g?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

No, since the blocks move as a system. The block on the left moving down is the same motion as the block on the right moving up since they are connected. That is why the technique in the video is used.

[@ytohustler]

@@MichelvanBiezen i still dont get it

[@22yhjjjj]

@Mert Kaplan The Tension in that equation is from the perspective of Box 1, not the pulley. You can tell because the masses are not marked "P". So for m1, m1a = m1g - T1, solve T1, T1 = m1g - m1a

[@FrostDirt]

Does taking the pulley's mass into account differs the tension of T1 and T2? I always thought of it as the same.

[@FrostDirt]

Anyways, excellent video. Especially with how rigorous the explanation was.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The tension will be the same only if we don't take the mass of the pulley into account. The pulley will have a moment of inertia which will cause the tension on both sides to be different.

[@FrostDirt]

[@ABiggerPigeon]

Hi Michael, if we were to do this same problem but ignore the pulleys mass, can we say that T1=T2? If so, why? And if not, why?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Yes, if the pulley does not have mass and there is no friction, then T1 = T2

Sir, why is I = 1/2(mR^2)? shouldn't it be I = mR^2? sorry for the clarification

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The moment of inertia is mR^2 if all the mass is located at distance R from the point of rotation, but for a solid disk the moment of inertia is (1/2) mR^2

You said this one is a bit tricky. If I use the energy equation to get the final velocity, isn't angular acceleration equal to v^2/R and a = alpha × R, still cool

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Those two equations are always correct.

[@Jaccobtw]

Are you subtracting the torques from each other because they move in opposite directions?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

That is correct.

[@AaaAaa-wo5uq]

Why isn't T equal to the force of gravity? Isn't the tangential force being applied onto the pulley just the weight of each object? Why do you have to subtract ma?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

+Aaa Aaa The tension T is only equal to mg when the objects are motionless (or when they are moving at a constant velocity). Let's pause for a moment and think about it. When an object is hanging from a string and not moving, the tension T must be equal to the weight of the object (mg). Now imagine that you pull harder on the string in order to accelerate the object upwards. The additional force must be equal to: F = ma. Therefore the total tension T must now be the sum of the two forces: mg + ma

[@pranavrama5036]

Thank You so much! This cleared a lot of misconceptions that I had

[@bardiaalian6747]

I have a problem about the friction. Because we know that the rope doesn't slip of the pulley because of friction so I have a problem wether or not we need to add fr to our torque or not.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The friction between the rope and the pulley allows the rope to apply a torque (which would not be possible without friction), but the friction does not add torque.

[@Tanaka-Buchou]

Does the pulley have moment of inertia?

[@animeshtalapatra9558]

no sir.

[@corks8807]

why are you able to separate t1 and t2 into 2 diff force equations? Don't they rely on each other in some way?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

T1 and T2 will be different because the pulley has mass and therefore a moment of inertia.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

To find the acceleration of the system, this is the best method. To find the position and the velocity of the masses you can use the conservation of energy. There are many examples like that in the playlist. PHYSICS 8 WORK, ENERGY, AND POWER kzbin.info/aero/PLX2gX-ftPVXWtv0wrHIHTCUrZHUkVDJiZ

[@scumbagdyln]

Awesome, thanks!

[@Slurpee_12]

Why is T1 and T2 pointing downwards? I'm not sure how you get the force equations using them both pointing in the same direction.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Since the pulley causes the direction of the tension to change it is better to think about it like this: F net = F aiding the acceleration - F opposing the acceleration = (total mass) x ( a)

[@Slurpee_12]

If I understand this correctly, wouldn't that mean that T1 = ma - mg ---> (ma = T + mg => T = ma - mg)? Both tension (T1) and mg are pointing in the downward direction, which is the direction that the acceleration is pointing, so the Forces are positive (aiding acceleration). By getting T1 = mg - ma, it seems that your original equation was ma = mg - T.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

You need to add the subscripts to your masses and T in the equations before I can answer your questions. Also T1 = T2

[@MichelvanBiezen]

I suggest you watch several examples in the playlist, including those with the inclined plane and a pulley to see how to work these types of problems.

[@Slurpee_12]

Sorry, from above: m[1]a = T[1] + m[1]g => T[1] = m[1]a - m[1]g Both T[1] and m[1]g are pointing in the downward direction, so that's why I set up my above equation like I did. Since you got T[1] = m[1]g - m[1] it seems that your original equation was m[1]a = m[1]g - T[1] And I'm currently on the Torque playlist :)

[@BortSlampson]

Can anyone help me with the understanding of the tensions direction? T1 and T2 both point towards the mass, which I, for the life of me, can not understand. The way I see it, if mass1 was not attached to the rope it would accelerate faster, therefore, tension should be in the up direction, working against gravity. And the same for mass2, if tension if pushing down on the mass, then how would the mass accelerate against gravity?? Thanks.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

It is better to ignore the internal forces of the system (the tensions) and only concentrate on the external forces acting on the system and causing the whole system to accelerate. Since m1 is larger m1g will be aiding the acceleration (acting in the same direction as the acceleration of the system) and m2g will be opposing the acceleration (acting in the opposite direction as the acceleration of the system) and a can be found by: a = (m1g - m2g) / (m1 + m2)

[@BortSlampson]

I was looking into that too for acceleration ( a = (m1g - m2g) / (m1 + m2) ) (Atwood's Machine 'n stuff) While using that equation, the acceleration comes out to 3.27 m/s^2. which is 7% larger than the value calculated in the video. Which result is closer to true value of the systems acceleration? Also, thanks for the FAST reply and video to help students like myself understand physics!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Since the pulley in this example has mass, you must also include the moment of inertia and the energy required to get the pulley spinning, thus the actual acceleration will be less.

Only if the objects are not accelerating. If the objects are accelerated you have to add the force required to accelerate the object.

[@benjaminsmus8553]

Good video, very detailed explanation! I figured that there is an easier way to solve this, for those interested. Consider a wheel and a frictionless axle. There is a rope that is tied to the wheel, and you drew a black line on the rope. When you pull the rope with force F, how fast does the black line accelerate? It accelerates at F / [1/2 mass of of the wheel]. From this, we can say that the resistance of the wheel to linear acceleration is half that of the resistance of a rectangle to a linear acceleration. After that, solve this like any dynamics problem. The net force is g(m1 - m2). The inertia of the system is (0.5mass_of_wheel + m1 + m2)

hi, sir if I make clockwise as positive torque=- I a /R? Is torque negative?

[@aungkyawkyaw4373]

sorry i mean anticlockwise as positive

[@MichelvanBiezen]

It is better here to only use the magnitude of the torque and not worry about the direction of the torque. We only need the magnitude to find the acceleration.

[@jabusravan5993]

If it was a smooth pulley, and tensions on the both side are equal, will the net torque become zero?? Pls answer

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Torque is defines as F x perpendicular distance. However if the pulley is smooth then there is no way to apply a force on the pulley and therefore you cannot apply a torque.

[@jabusravan5993]

So if pulley is smooth , the pulley will not rotate, the rope just slips on pulley with some acceleration ..im I right sir?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

We are making as assumption that the pulley is massless and frictionless, which of course is impossible. (Like we assume no wind resistance, which is also impossible). All pulleys have some mass and some friction. Thus in real life, there is a small amount of torque and a small amount of friction with all pulleys. That said, if there was a perfectly smooth pulley, then the pulley would not rotate, but then if the pulley had no mass, and minute amount of friction would make it rotate.

[@jonathancheng114]

Wait why is the moment of impulse 1/2mr^2? My textbook says its Σmr^2. Which one is correct?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

+rurutchi The moment of inertia depends on the shape of the rotating object. For a solid disk the moment of inertia is (1/2) mR^2 For a hollow disk it is mR^2 Take a look at the playlist: PHYSICS 12 MOMENT OF INERTIA

[@carultch]

Fundamentally, moment of inertia is Σm*r^2. Or in its continuous form, ∫r^2 dm. When you account for the distribution of mass, you often will get a formula for moment of inertia equal to X*M*R^2, where X is a fraction that you get after carrying out this integral. For a thin uniform hoop, X=1. For a solid disk or cylinder around its circular axis, X=1/2. For a sphere, X=2/5. For a thin spherical shell, X=2/3.

[@adelledagher58]

why is T1 = m1g-m1a..acceleration, tension, and mg are in the same direction; using F=ma I end up with t1=m1a-m1g

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Adelle, There are two methods you can use to find the tension in the string. The first method is to use free body diagrams. When using that method one must take into account the positive and negative directions and simply add them like vectors and use F - ma. The second method (which is simpler) sets the tension equal to the weight of the object suspended from it +/- ma. Use + when the mass is being accelerated upwards for the additional force required to accelerate it upward (F = ma) beyond the force required to hold it against gravity (mg). Subtract ma when the object is accelerating downward because less force is needed than mg because it is accelerating downward. In the limit when the acceleration downward reaches g (a = g) then the tension goes to zero.

[@Artisticengineer5]

Michel van Biezen is it okay to use the freebody diagram method?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Samuel Akorede Definitely. It is typically harder and more students tend to make errors with that method. However every student should know how to use the free body diagram method. I believe that I have a few videos devoted to that method as well.

[@gugunyambe5373]

if i cut the string will the distance of the two bodies be the same as they fall?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

+Gugu Nyambe That depends on the initial conditions when you cut the strings. 1) What are the positions? 2) What are their velocities? Both of those conditions affect how long it takes for each block to hit the ground when the string is cut.

[@ironuranium3927]

how tension t1 and t2 can be different?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

As long as there is friction in the pulley or the pulley has mass such that it has a moment of inertia the tension will be different.

[@namanladhad6770]

Michel van Biezen Since the tensions are different, how is it that the acceleration is the same for the blocks. Ofcourse it's obvious that the acceleration of both blocks must be same, it's stupid to ask but if you consider the constraint relation , where total work done by the string is 0 i.e T1•x+T2•x=0 (dot product) T1x-T2x=0 (cosπ=-1) T1x=T2x T1a=T2a (differentiate w.r.t time) T1 = T2 But we know that T1 is not equal to T2, so what's happening here? I'd understood that tensions must be different and acceleration the same, but then I'd thought of the constraint relation, and now I'm confused If I had to reason I'd say maybe the constraint relation doesn't apply here because the pulley has some mass and exerts frictional force, so total work done by string is not 0?

[@EfeKaanikizoglu]

what is frequency here?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

There is no frequency in this type of problem.

[@TRICKYY11500]

Could you just use the formula a= [(m1-m2)*g]/ (m1+m2+(.5)(mpulley) ??? Like all the time?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

+TRICKYY11500 Only if the pulley is a solid disk with moment of inertia = I = (1/2) m R^2. The equation can be different with a different moment of inertia.

[@BH-co3rq]

Why isn't the tension constant throughout the system?

[@carultch]

Because the pulley's mass is not negligible.

[@bryantflores1986]

My problem is almost the same but it adds a constant torque of .35Nm due to friction. can you help me find the acceleration with this added factor?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

+Bryant Flores Where you given the radius and moment of inertia of the pulley? If yes, you'll have to use the principles seen in the videos of this playlist: PHYSICS 13 MOMENT OF INERTIA APPLICATIONS If not, the you can find the force by taking the torque and dividing it by the radius of the pulley. Then add the force to F net = m total * a

[@naeemghafori5046]

sir. why we did not cosider the mgh and KE .?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

That depends on what method we use to solve the problem. We can use the energy balancing approach which does indeed use the mgh and KE to solve the problem, or we can use Newton's second law (F = ma) to solve the problem like we did in this video, which do not use mgh and KE.

[@melis9093]

I still couldn't understand why we do not write T1=m1.a +m1.g
