Answer from: NycLife

Answer : $\alpha = -240\ rad/s^{2}$ south

Explanation :

Given that,

Force = 200 N

Length = 2.00 m

Mass = 5.00 kg

We know that , the formula of the angular acceleration

$\alpha = \dfrac{\tau}{I}\ rad/s^{2}$

We know the moment of inertia of rod

$I = \dfrac{ML^{2}}{12}$

Now, the torque is

$\tau = F\times r$

The angular acceleration

$\alpha = \dfrac{F\times r\times12}{ML^{2}}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{((200\ N\times-1\ m) + (-200\ N)\times(1\ m))\times12}{5\ kg\times2\ m\times2\ m}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{-400Nm\times12}{5kg\times4m^{2}}$

$\alpha = -240\ rad/s^{2}$

Negative sign represent of south direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer from: gm2

The angular acceleration of the beam is $\boxed{240\text{ rad/s}^2}$ in south direction.

Further Explanation:

The angular acceleration is the acceleration of the object in the circular motion in other words it is the rate of change in the angular velocity of the object.

The moment of inertia is the tendency withstands the action or effect of the angular acceleration and directly proportional to the mass and square of the length of the object.

Given:

The force applied on the beam is $200\text{ N}$ .

The length of the beam is $2.00\text{ m}$ .

The mass of the uniform beam is $5.00\text{ kg}$ .

Concept:

The expression for the angular acceleration is:

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}$ …… (1)

Here, $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration, $\tau$ is the torque and is the moment of inertia.

The expression for the moment of inertia of a thing beam about its center is:

$I=\dfrac{{M{L^2}}}{{12}}$ …… (2)

Here, is the mass of the beam and is the length of the object.

The expression for the torque is:

$\tau=F\times r$ …… (3)

Here, is the force and is the perpendicular distance from the center.

Compare equation (1), (2) and (3), we get:

$\alpha=\dfrac{{F\times r\times12}}{{M{L^2}}}$ …… (4)

Let ${\alpha_1}$ is the angular acceleration due to force applied on the east end of the beam and ${\alpha _2}$ is the angular acceleration due to force applied on the west end of the beam.

The force applied on the east end in downward direction therefore the force is taken negative and distance from the center to the end is positive but the force applied on the west end in upward direction, thereforethe force is taken positive and distance from the center to the end is negative

Substitute ${\alpha _1}$ for $\alpha$ , $-200\text{ N}$ for , $1\text{ m}$ for , $2\text{ m}$ for and $5.00\text{ kg}$ for in equation (4).

$\begin{aligned}{\alpha_1}&=\frac{{({-200}\text{ N})\times({1{\text{ m}}})\times 12}}{{({5{\text{ kg}}}){{( {2{\text{ m}}})}^2}}}\\&=-120{\text{ rad/s}^2}\\\end{aligned}$

Substitute ${\alpha _2}$ for $\alpha$ , $200\text{ N}$ for , $-1\text{ m}$ for , $2\text{ m}$ for and $5.00\text{ kg}$ for in equation (4).

$\begin{aligned}{\alpha_2}&=\frac{{( {200{\text{ }}N})\times({-1{\text{ m}}})\times 12}}{{({5{\text{ kg}}}){{({2{\text{ m}}})}^2}}}\\&=-120{\text{ rad/s}^2}\\\end{aligned}$

The expression for the resultant angular acceleration is:

$\begin{aligned}\alpha&=-120{\text{ rad/s}^2}+({-120{\text{ rad/s}^2}})\\&=-120{\text{ rad/s}^2}-120{\text{ rad/s}^2}\\&=-240{\text{ rad/s}^2}\\\end{aligned}$

The negative sign show the movement of the beam in anti-clock wise.

Thus, the angular acceleration of the beam is $\boxed{240\text{ rad/s}^2}$ in south direction.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
