A fish takes the bait and pulls on the line with a force of 2.6 N. The fishing reel, which has a friction clutch that exerts a restraining torque of 0.043 N*m, is a cylinder of radius 0.055 m and mass 0.81 kg.

Question

A fish takes the bait and pulls on the line with a force of 2.6 N. The fishing reel, which has a friction clutch that exerts a restraining torque of 0.043 N*m, is a cylinder of radius 0.055 m and mass 0.81 kg.
A)What is the angular acceleration of the fishing reel?
B)How much line does the fish pull from the reel in 0.20 s?

bobpursley · Answer

torque-restraing=momentInertia*angular acceleration 2.5*.055-.043=momentinertia*anglualr acceleration look up the moment of inertia and solve.
