13. A large reel of paper installed at the end of a paper machine has a diameter of

1.8 m, a length of 5.6 m and a moment of inertia of 4500 Kg.m2. It is driven

by a directly coupled variable-speed DC motor turning at 120 r.p.m. The

paper is kept under a constant tension of 6000 N.

a. Calculate the power of the motor when the reel turns at a constant

speed of 120 r.p.m.

b. If the speed has to be raised from 120 r.p.m to 160 r.p.m in 5

seconds, calculate the torque that the motor must developed during

this interval.

c. Calculate the power of the motor after it has reached the desired

speed of 160 r.p.m.
