Question Number 31934 by NECx last updated on 17/Mar/18

The flywheel of a punch press has  a moment of inertia of 16kgm^2   and runs at 300rev/min.The  flywheel supplies all the energy  needed in a quick punching  operation.  a)Find the speed in rev/min to  which the flywheel will be reduced  by a sudden punching operation  requiring 5000J of work.  b)What must be the constant  power supply to the flywheel to  bring it back to its initial speed  in a time of 5s?

(a)  (1/2)×16×[(((300)/(60))×2π)^2 −((u_2 /(60))×2π)^2 ]=5000  ⇒u_2 =182 rev/min  (b)  ((5000)/5)=1000 Watt

$$\left({a}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{16}×\left[\left(\frac{\mathrm{300}}{\mathrm{60}}×\mathrm{2}\pi\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\frac{{u}_{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{60}}×\mathrm{2}\pi\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \right]=\mathrm{5000} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{u}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{182}\:{rev}/{min} \\ $$$$\left({b}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{5000}}{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{1000}\:{Watt} \\ $$
