A patient rehabilitating a knee injury performs knee extension exercises while wearing a 35 N weight boot. Calculate the amount of torque about the knee joint generated by the weight boot for each of the four positions shown, given a distance of 0.3 m from the knee joint center to the center of mass of the weight boot. Ignore the weight of the leg. Be sure to provide the correct direction of the torque. P₂0

An automobile engine can produce 200Nm of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0 of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0-kg disk that has a 0.180-m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.

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.
