Previous ] Exercises ] Next ]

A bobbin of M = 3 kg consists of a central cylinder of radius r = 5 cm and two end plates of radius R = 6 cm. It is placed on a slotted incline on which it will roll but not slip, and a mass m = 4.5 kg is suspended from a cord wound around the bobbin. It is observed that the system is in static equilibrium. What is the angle of tilt θ of the incline?
