Detailed Solution

Question Image

T1cosθ+T2cosθ=mrω2 

ω=(2nπ)

Here, n= number of revolutions per second. Substituting the proper values in Eq. (i),

200×35+T2×35=(4)(3)(2nπ)2

 or 600+3T2=240n2π2

 Further,   T1sinθ=T2sinθ+mg

 or   200×45=T2×45+4×10

 or   800=4T2+200

 Solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii) we get, 

T2=150 N and n=0.66rps

=39.6rpm
