  1. A mass of 2000 kg is currentiy being lowered at a velocity of 2 m/s from the drum as shown in the figure. The mass moment of inertia of the drum is 150 kg-m2. On applying the brake, the mass is brought to rest in a distance of 0.5 m. The energy absorbed by the brake (in kJ) is ________.

    1. 14.11 kJ
    2. 13.11 kJ
    3. 12.11 kJ
    4. 15.11 kJ
Correct Option: A


V = rω

ωi =
Vu
=
2
= 2 rad/sec
r1

Loss in KE of drum =
1
J(ω²i - ω²f)
2

=
1
150(2² - 0²)
2

= 300 Joule
Loss in KE of block =
1
m(ω²i - ω²f)
2

=
1
2000(2² - 0²)
2

= 4000 Joule
Loss in potential energy of block = mgh
= 2000 × 9.81 × 0.5 = 9810 Joul
Total loss of energy = 300 + 4000 + 9810
= 14110 J
= 14.11 kJ
