A particular tumble dryer process operates with a rotating drum on a regular repeating cycle. One cycle of the drum is described as follows: the drum starts from rest and then undergoes one complete revolution, during which the acceleration and retardation are uniform and at the same rate, the drum then pauses for 4.0 seconds to complete one cycle. During a drying program this cycle is repeated many times. If the total time taken for 5 complete cycles is 95.0 seconds, use a angular velocity - time diagram to help you calculate the maximum angular velocity of the drum (in RPM).

A Maxwell’s wheel can be used to store and “recycle” kinetic energy. Suppose that an internal wheel with mass M = 100 kg and radius R =1 ft is used to brake a one metric ton car by converting the vehicle’s linear kinetic energy into rotational kinetic energy. Up to what horizontal velocity of the car will such a system be physically viable if the wheel can sustain a maximum of 4000 rpm (revolutions per minute)?
A solid cylindrical rod BC of length L = 600 mm and radius r = 12 mm is attached to the rigid lever AB of length a = 300 mm and to the fixed support at C. Design requires that the displacement of A not exceed 10 mm when P = 700 N force is applied at A. For a material with G = 70 GPa and τall = 80 MPa what is the safety of the system under displacement and stress considerations.
An 1150kg automobile has springs with k = 16,000N/m. One of the tires is not properly balanced; it has a little extra mass on one side compared to the other, causing the car to shake at certain speeds. If the tire radius is 42cm, at what speed will the wheel shake most? [Sketch the scenario first]
Review. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.00 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.600. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1 000 rev/min (a) in air and (b) in water.
When a fan is at its highest setting, the fan blade is rotating at 150 Hz. When the fan is turned down to its next lowest setting, the fan blade uniformly decelerates at 12 cycles/s2 until it reaches 60 Hz. Through how many cycles does the fan blade rotate over this interval? a. 125 cycles b. 240 cycles c. 374 cycles d. 512 cycles e. 788 cycles

an irregularly shaped plastic plate withuniform thickness and density (mass per unit volume) is to berotated around an axle that is perpendicular to the plate faceand through point O. The rotational inertia of the plate about that axle is measured with the followingmethod. A circular disk of mass 0.500 kg andradius 2.00 cm is glued to the plate, with itscenter aligned with point O . Astring is wrapped around the edge of the diskthe way a string is wrapped around a top.Then the string is pulled for 5.00 s. As a result,the disk and plate are rotated by a constantforce of 0.400 N that is applied by thestring tangentially to the edge of the disk.The resulting angular speed is 114 rad/s.What is the rotational inertia of the plateabout the axle?

Of these statements, only true are: a) Ib) IIc) IIId) I and IIe) II and IIIf) I and IIIg) Allh) None
Many machines employ cams for various purposes, such as opening and closing valves. In Figure P10.46, the cam is a circular disk of radius R with a hole of diameter R cut through it. As shown in the figure, the hole does not pass through the center of the disk. The cam with the hole cut out has mass M. The cam is mounted on a uniform, solid, cylindrical shaft of diameter R and also of mass M. What is the kinetic energy of the cam-shaft combination when it is rotating with angular speed ω about the shaft’s axis?
