The drawing shows two blocks that are placed at the ends of a massless board. The board is balanced on a support that serves as an axis of rotation. The block on the left has a mass of 7.0 kg. What is the moment of inertia of this system about the axis of rotation?

Answer:

The question is incomplete as the diagram wasn't attached. Please use the diagram in the attachement as a guide.

Moment of Inertia, [tex]I=1.61kg.m^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of rotation as shown in the sample diagram is the support.

Moment of Inertia, I = ∑[tex]mr^{2}[/tex]

There are two blocks: The block on the right with a mass of 2.0kg and the block on the left with a mass of 7.0kg as we were given.

Therefore I = [tex]m_{1}r_{1} ^{2} + m_{2}r_{2} ^{2}[/tex]

[tex]I=7.0kg*(0.30m)^{2} + 2.0kg * (0.70m)^{2} \\\\ I = (7.0kg * 0.09m^{2} )+(2.0kg*0.49m^{2} )\\\\I = 0.63kgm^{2} + 0.98kgm^{2}\\ \\I = 1.61kg.m^{2}[/tex]

The moment of inertia of the body is 1.61kg/m^2

Data;

  • m1 = 7.0kg
  • r1 = 0.3m
  • m2 = 2.0kg
  • r2 = 0.7m

Moment of Inertia

The moment of inertia acting on this body is the sum total of the product of the mass with the square of the distance from it's axis of rotation.

[tex]I = \sum mr^2\\I = m_1r_1^2 + m_2r_2^2[/tex]

Let's substitute the values and solve for the moment of inertia

[tex]I = (7 * 0.3^2) + (2*0.7^2)\\I = 1.61 kg/m^2[/tex]

The moment of inertia of the body is 1.61kg/m^2
