Homework Statement
The chain of a workshop crane is 50 m long and has a mass of 3 kg/m. It is partially wound on a drum and the effective radius from the axis of the drum to the chain centre line is 0.2 m. The drum itself, including shaft and gear wheel has a mass of 100 kg and has a radius of gyration of 0.15 m. A steel block with a mass of 500 kg is to be lifted from a point 20 m below the level of the axis of the drum. If a torque of 1.3 kNm is applied to the drum, what will be the initial vertical acceleration of the steel block?
Homework Equations
P.E = mgh
K.E = 1/2mv^2
I = mK^2
Torque = radius * Force
Work Done = F*distance
F=mass* acceleration
