If the polisher is started so that the fleece along the circumference undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 24 m/s , determine (a) the speed v of a tuft as it leaves the pad, (b) the magnitude of the force required to free a tuft if the average mass of a tuft is 1.6 mg. SOLUTION (a) constantta = uniformly acceleration motion Then 0 tv a t= + At 3 s:=t 2(4 m/s )(3 s)=v or 12.00 m/sv = (b) :t t t tF ma F maΣ = = or 6 2 6 (1.6 10 kg)(4 m/s ) 6.4 10 N tF − − = × = × 2 :n n n v F ma F m ρ Σ = = At 3 s:=t ( ) 2 6 0.225 2 3 (12 m/s) (1.6 10 kg) m 2.048 10 N nF − − = × = × Finally, 2 2 tuft 6 2 3 2(6.4 10 N) (2.048 10 N) t nF F F − − = + = × + × or 3 tuft 2.05 10 NF −= ×
