An electric motor drives a machine that punches out plates from a long strip of box
sheet metal. The motor runs continuously and is fitted with a flywheel. Figure
2 shows how the angular velocity ω of the flywheel varies with time t.
Figure 2
Table 1 describes the sequence for the machine after it has been brought up to
speed ωA.
Table 1
A The punching operation starts.
A to B The flywheel transfers some of its energy during the punching operation.
B to C The flywheel is again brought up to speed ωA by the motor.
C The next punching operation starts.
0 1 . 3 A new flywheel with a greater moment of inertia is fitted in place of the original
flywheel. The motor torque is constant and the same as before.
Sketch on Figure 2 a graph showing how the angular velocity varies with time for
the machine fitted with the new flywheel.
Assume that:
• the punching operation starts at the same angular speed ωA
• the same quantity of energy is transferred when punching the metal sheet.
