The disk has a weight of $10 \mathrm{lb}$ and is pinned at its center $O$. If a vertical force of $P=2 \mathrm{lb}$ is applied to the cord wrapped around its outer rim, determine the angular velocity of the disk in four seconds starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the cord.

Key Concepts

Force-to-Mass Conversion

When weights are given in force units such as pounds, converting to mass (for use in dynamic equations) requires incorporating the acceleration due to gravity. This step is essential when calculating the moment of inertia or angular acceleration in problems where the weight of the object is provided.

Rotational Kinematics

Rotational kinematics involves the equations that relate angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time. When an object begins spinning from rest and experiences a constant angular acceleration, its angular velocity at any time can be determined using these kinematic relations.

Torque

Torque is the measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. In the context of rotational dynamics, a force applied tangentially to the circumference of a disk generates a torque, which is calculated as the product of the force and the radius at which the force is applied.

Moment of Inertia

The moment of inertia is a property of a rotating body that quantifies its resistance to angular acceleration. For a disk with mass distributed uniformly about its center, the moment of inertia depends on both its mass and the square of its radius, and is typically given by I = (1/2) m R².

Angular Acceleration

Angular acceleration is the rate at which the angular velocity of a rotating object changes with time. It is directly linked to the applied torque by Newton’s second law for rotation, which relates the net torque to the moment of inertia and the resulting angular acceleration.
