A DC machine of coupling constant , of internal resistance and of inductance is used to lift a mass . The axis of the rotor is connected to a pulley of radius . On the pulley is fixed a string on which a mass is attached.
A friction couple apply on the rotor. The moment of inertia of the system {rotor + pulley} is . Hysteresis and Foucault currents are neglected.
The mass is lifted at a constant speed .
1/ Ascertain the current and the voltage delivered by the generator as a function of , , , , , , .
Since the mass is lifted at a constant speed, every values are constant over time. The inductance will have no influence and is not represented on the electrical schematic.
The electrical equation is obtained by applying the mesh law to the electrical circuit:
Moreover .
The pulley of radius is linked to the rotor, so .
The mechanical equation is obtained by applying the theorem of angular momentum to the system {pulley + rotor}:
From these equations, we obtain:
