An object with a mass of $200 k g$ $200 kg$ is hanging from an axle with a radius of $8 c m$ $8 cm$ . If the wheel attached to the axle has a radius of $44 c m$ $44 cm$ , how much work would it take to turn the wheel a length equal to the circumference of the axle?

The work is $= 179.13 J$ $=179.13J$

The load L=(200g)N#

Radius of axle $r = 0.08 m$ $r=0.08m$

Radius of wheel $R = 0.44 m$ $R=0.44m$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F \cdot R = L \cdot r$ $F*R=L*r$

$F \cdot 0.44 = 200 \cdot g \cdot 0.08$ $F*0.44=200*g*0.08$

$F = \frac{200 \cdot g \cdot 0.08}{0.44} = 356.4 N$ $F=(200*g*0.08)/0.44=356.4N$

The force is $= 346.4 N$ $=346.4N$

The work is

$W = F \cdot d$ $W=F*d$

The distance is $= 2 π \cdot 0.08 = 0.16 π m$ $=2pi*0.08=0.16pim$

The work is

$W = 356.4 \cdot 0.16 π = 179.13 J$ $W=356.4*0.16pi=179.13J$
