A stick is resting on a concrete step with - of its total length L hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at 0 = 46.5° with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure. If the mass of each bug is 2.92 times the mass of the stick and the stick is 18.7 cm long, what is the magnitude a of the angular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown? Use 8 = 9.81 m/s². rad/s?

In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wetclothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown inFigure P7.61. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they aremade to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tubis chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact withthe tub when the cloth is at an angle of θ = 68.0° above thehorizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.330 m, what rate ofrevolution is needed in revolutions per second?
If the cross product of two vectors vanishes, what can you say about their directions?
In a game of pool, ball A is rolling without slipping with a velocity V0 as it hits obliquely ball B , which is at rest. Denoting by r the radius of each ball and by μk the coefficient of kinetic friction between a ball and the table, and assuming perfectly elastic impact, determine (a ) the linear and angular velocity of each ball immediately after the impact, (b ) the velocity of ball B after it has started rolling uniformly.
A projectile is launched on a horizontal plane with a speed of 30 m/s and an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The projectile explodes 1.5 seconds after launch, splitting into 2 parts. The first part, with 1/3 of the total mass, lands exactly at the origin of the launch. How far from the launch point will the second part fall?
A door of length 2.00 m is carried flat by 3 people, with one at the end and the other two on opposite sides at a point on the door. If the weight of the door is equally distributed amongst the 3 people, where in relation to the free end are the two people located who are holding the sides?
If the rigid body rotates 30deg about the global X-axis and the origin of the body translates to (X, Y, Z)=(500, 0 600), the final point in the Global frame is (500 -100, 773.2). Find the origin position (x1, y1, z1) in the body coordinate frame by using the inverse 4X4 matrix.

At 714 A.M. on June 30, 1908, a huge explosion occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61 N and longitude 102 E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness “covered an enormous part of the sky,” was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about 140 m wide. (a) Considering only Earth’s rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25 E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth’s surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude 20 W? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)
