Repeat Example 10.15 in which the stick is free to have translational motion as well as rotational motion.
The perihelion of Halley’s comet is 0.586 AU and the aphelion is 17.8 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 55 km/s, what is the speed at aphelion ( IAU=1.4961011m )? (Hint: You may use either conservation of energy or angular momentum, but the latter is much easier.)
A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire on the rear wheel. A friend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly oil tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P10.74). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises a distance h1 above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises a distance h2 h1 above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because the angular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.

The thin, homogeneous, circular disk B rotates about a fixed, frictionless axis O, located at its centre, with an angular velocity of ω = 2.5 rad/s (clockwise). Object Alands on the disk at the indicated position where θ = 53o, with an absolute velocity of 1.8 m/s at an angle of ψ = 25o as shown. Determine the angular speed of disk Bimmediately after object A has landed and rotates with B. Take the mass of the object as mA = 5 kg and the radius of gyration about an axis passing perpendicularly through its centre of gravity as kG = 0.18 m. The mass of disk B is mB = 14 kg and its radius is R = 1.7 m. Initially object A is a distance of r = 1.1 m from the axis of rotation. Choose the correct answer: a) 2.500 rad/s b) 1.737 rad/s c) 2.088 rad/s d) 2.252 rad/s e) 1.642 rad/s

A solid disk rotates in the horizontal plane at an angular velocity of 4.20 × 10-2 rad/s with respect to an axisperpendicular to the disk at its center. The moment of inertia of the disk is 0.14 kg.m2. From above, sand is droppedstraight down onto this rotating disk, so that a thin uniform ring of sand is formed at a distance of 0.40 m from the axis.The sand in the ring has a mass of 0.50 kg. After all the sand is in place, what is the angular velocity of the disk?
