Many brushed AC motors have a linear toque curve as shown below. If the power output of the motor is equal to the torque (T) multiplied by the rotational speed in rad/s (w), what is the maximum power you can get out of the motor if the stall torque (Tstall) is 0.001 Nm and the no load speed (wno load) of 14,332 RPM? Give your answer in Watts. There are two ways to solve this: Use a stall torque and no load speed and plot the torque profile below and then plot the power versus rotational speed to find the maximum. The second method is to determine the mathematical relationship for power given the information at the start of the question and set the differential of power with respect to RPM equal to zero, and solve for the RPM to get the maximum.

A xylophone is made of several cuboidal keys of the same material Z, each having its own resonant frequency to play the different notes on a scale. Through various sound experiments, it was found that the resonant frequency of a key was given by w lY where • w is the thickness of the key; • A is the area of the key; • Y is the Young's modulus of Z; • p is the density of Z; and • K is a dimensionless constant. (a) The key which plays A4 (f = 440 Hz) has length, width, and thickness 28 cm, 6 cm, and 3cm, respectively. If the density and Young's modulus of Z are p = 800 kg/m³ and Y = 96 GPa, find x. A 2g marble is dropped on this key from a height of 1.8 m, and the key acquires an instantaneous initial velocity. (b) Assuming a perfectly elastic collision, find the magnitude of this velocity. I Due to this impact, the key oscillates. We can treat the key as if it were attached to a spring with damping. This damping causes the key to experience oscillations which…arrow_forward
