v = 0.384 m/s

Explanation:

The complete problem is as follows:

" The 45-kg crate is pulled up the  inclined surface by the winch. The coefficient of kinetic  friction between the crate and the surface is µk = 0.4.

The moment of inertia of the drum on which the cable is  being wound is IA = 4 kg-m2

.The crate starts from rest,  and the motor exerts a constant couple M = 50 N-m  on the drum. Use the principle of work and energy to

determine the magnitude of the velocity of the crate  when it has moved 1 m "

Given:

- The mass of the crate m = 45 kg

- Coefficient of kinetic  friction µk = 0.4

- Moment of inertia of the drum IA = 4 kg-m2

- Motor constant couple M = 50 N-m

- Motor Couple moment arm R = 0.15 m

- (The missing figure is attached)

Find:

Use the principle of work and energy to

determine the magnitude of the velocity of the crate  when it has moved 1 m

Solution:

Develop a FBD of the system consisting of Motor, rope and crate. (Attachment)

   The motor generates a couple M which induces a tension in the string depending on the amount of rotation proportional to the distance moved by the block.

   The crate experiences 3 forces: Normal contact force (N) exerted by the inclined surface on the crate. The Weight (W) of the crate acting vertically downwards and Friction Force (Ff = uk*N) along the surface contact parallel to slope while opposing uphill motion. ( See Attachment )

- Apply Equilibrium condition on the crate perpendicular to the slope:

                       N - m*g*cos(20) = 0

                       N = m*g*cos(20)

- For motion of the crate as it moves 1 m along the surface the work done is given by U_12:

            U_12 = Work done by motor couple - Work done against gravity - Work done by friction

            U_12 = M*θ - m*g*sin(20) - uk*N

Where,    θ is the angle of rotation of motor through distance of 1 m = 1 / R.

            U_12 = M/R - [m*g*sin(20) - uk*m*g*cos(20)]*(1)

- The kinetic energy of system at initial condition is zero ( T_1 = 0 ). The final state Kinetic energy are as follows T_2:

            T_2 = 0.5*m*v^2 + 0.5*IA*w^2

Where,

            w = v / R  ..... Angular speed at which the motor disc rotates.(No slip)

            T_2 = 0.5*m*v^2 + 0.5*IA*v^2 / R^2

            T_2 = v^2*( 0.5*m + 0.5*IA / R^2 )

- The Total Energy balance would be:

            T_1 + U_12 = T_2

            0 + M/R - m*g*sin(20) - uk*m*g*cos(20) = v^2*( 0.5*m + 0.5*IA / R^2 )

            v^2 =[ M/R - m*g*sin(20) - uk*m*g*cos(20) ] / [ ( 0.5*m + 0.5*IA / R^2 )]

- Plug in values:

            v^2 =[ 50/0.15 - 45*9.81*sin(20) - 0.4*45*9.81*cos(20) ] / [ ( 0.5*45 + 0.5*4 / 0.15^2 )]

            v = sqrt (0.147456)

            v = 0.384 m/s
