Calculating the Work and Energy for Spinning a Grindstone
Consider a person who spins a large grindstone by placing her hand on its edge and exerting a force through part of a revolution as shown in this Figure below. In this example, we verify that the work done by the torque she exerts equals the change in rotational energy.
a) How much work is done if she exerts a force of 195 N through a rotation of 30? The force is kept perpendicular to the grindstone's 32 cm radius at the point of application, and the effects of friction are negligible.
b) What is the final angular velocity if the grindstone has a mass of 80.0 kg ?
c) What is the final rotational kinetic energy?
