Homework Statement
A spool of mass 8.67kg and radius 4.58m is unwound by a constant force 48.1N pulling on the massless rope wrapped around it. Assume the moment of inertia of the spool about O is 3/4mr^2 and it rolls w/o slipping. When the center of the spool has moved a distance d, find the total kinetic energy (In terms of F and d).
Homework Equations
Work= ke(final)- ke(initial)
I=3/4mr^2
torque=Fr=I(alpha)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm feeling pretty lost, but I was thinking that if I just added the rotational energy + translational kinetic energy that that would give me the answer. Obviously it is not this easy and I have no idea how to put it in terms of force and distance.
