Name: Phys 141: Quiz Lec. 37 (due Lec 38). Q1 (5 pts): What is the work done by a torque in rotating an object by a small angle . dW = Q2 (5 pts): Circle the correct option. The total work done by friction for an object that is rolling is ... negative zero positive. Q3 (10 points). Explain your answer to question 2. Q4 (5 points). A ball is rolling up a hill. Which way does friction point? Circle the correct option. up down there is no friction Q5 (15 points). Justify your answer to question 4. (Continued in back)
Q2 (60 pts): A bar of mass M and length L can balance on a fulcrum (the tip of the triangle in the figure shown at right). A mass m is glued to the right end of the bar. We’ll work slowly through figuring out how far from the right end of the bar should the fulcrum be placed so that the bar can balance horizontally. A. (10 points) We want the bar to be balanced, so we focus on the bar. Draw the forces acting on the bar. B. (15 points) If the bar is balanced, it is not moving in a line. Use this to write Newton’s equations for linear motion. What do you learn from Newton’s equations for linear motion? C. (5 points). If the bar is balanced, it is also not going to rotate. If it were to rotate, about which point would it rotate? D. (25 points) If the bar is balanced, it is also not going to rotate. Use this to write Newton’s laws for rotational motion. E. (5 points) Use the equation from part D to solve for the distance d at which the fulcrum must be placed.
