Answer:
Explanation:
Given Information
Block A mass, mA = 7 Kg
Block B mass, mB=8 Kg
Pulley mass, M=0.7 kg
Pulley Radius, R=0.4 m
I=moment of inertia=MR^2/2 =0.35R^2
Looking for
Acceleration of both blocks.
Percentage error of the two cases (the pulley’s moment of inertia is ignored and the pulley’s moment of inertia is not ignored).
1) mass acceleration a = g(mB – mA)/(mB + mA + I/R^2) = 9.8*1/(8+7+0.35) = 0.638 (m/s2), cylinder acceleration ε = a/R = 1.6m(s-2)
2)
In case the moment of inertia of the pulley is ignored mass acceleration a1 = 9.8*1/(8+7) = 0.653 (m/s2), % error = 100(aignored-a)/aignored = 2.30%.
