**67. A small 0.500-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 1.00 m. The angular speed is 6.28 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tol- erate a tension of no more than 105 N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move?

One method of pitching a softball is called the wind-mill delivery method, in which the pitchers arm rotates through approximately 360 in a vertical plane before the 198-gram ball is released at the lowest point of the circular motion. An experienced pitcher can throw a ball with a speed of 98.0 mi/h. Assume the angular acceleration is uniform throughout the pitching motion and take the distance between the softball and the shoulder joint to be 74.2 cm. (a) Determine the angular speed of the arm in rev/s at the instant of release, (b) Find the value of the angular acceleration in rev/s2 and the radial and tangential acceleration of the ball just before it is released, (c) Determine the force exerted on the ball by the pitchers hand (both radial and tangential components) just before it is released.

In 2015, in Warsaw, Poland, Olivia Oliver of Nova Scotia broke the world record for being the fastest spinner on ice skates. She achieved a record 342 rev/min, beating the existing Guinness World Record by 34 rotations. If an ice skater extends her aims at that rotation rate, what would be her new rotation rate? Assume she can be approximated by a 45-kg rod that is 1.7 m tall with a radius of 15 cm in the record spin. With her aims stretched take the approximation of a rod of length 130 cm with 10 of her body mass aligned perpendicular to the spin axis. Neglect frictional forces.

A wheel is rotating about a fixed axis with constant angular acceleration 3 rad/s2. At different moments, its angular speed is 2 rad/s, 0. and +2 rad/s. For a point on the rim of the wheel, consider at these moments the magnitude of the tangential component of acceleration and the magnitude of the radial component of acceleration. Rank the following five items from largest to smallest: (a) |at| when = 2 rad/s, (b)|ar| when = 2 rad/s, (c)|ar| when = 0, (d) |at| when = 2 rad/s, and (e) |ar| when = 2 rad/s. If two items are equal, show them as equal in your ranking. If a quantity is equal to zero, show that fact in your ranking.

Consider two objects with m1 m2 connected by a light string that passes over a pulley having a moment of inertia of I about its axis of rotation as shown in Figure P10.44.
