A YO-YO of mass M and moment of inertia ...

A YO-YO of mass M and moment of inertia I about its c.m. is having a shaft of radius r around which a string is wound. The YO-YO starts from rest and unwinds itself. Show that the tension in the string during descent is given by `((MgI)/( Mr^(2) + I))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A spool of mass M = 3 kg and radius R = 20 cm has an axle of radius r = 10 cm around which a string is wrapped. The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the spool and passing thorugh the centre is (MR^2)/2 . If the coeffiecient of friction between the surface and the spool is 0.4 then the maximum tension which can be applied to the string for which the spool doesn't slip, is 9 g = 10ms^(-2)]
