Question

Mario M.
Please help....
The 20-kg punching bag has a radius of gyration about itscenter of mass G of kG=0.4m. If it is initially atrest and
is subjected to a horizontal force F=30 N, determine theinitial angular acceleration of the bag and the tension in
thesupporting cable AB.

Given:
BOOKS STUDY
MENU
Mass of the punching bag, m = 20 kg
Weight of the punching bag, W = 20 (9.81) = 196.2 N
radius of gyration , k = 0.4 m
Find books,
horizontal force , F = 30 N
Let T = tension in the cable AB
Free body diagram of the punching bag is as shown infigure

we know M = I
Where I = mass moment of inertia = mk2
I = 20(0.4)2 = 3.2 kg m2
= angular acceleration
Torque, M = F(0.6)
M = 30 ( 0.6 ) = 18 N.m
using equation (1)
3.2 = 18
angular acceleration of the bag , = 5.625 rad/s2
