A stone of mass 800.0 g is fastened to a string of length 75.0 cm which would break when the tension in it exceeds 50.0 N. The stone is whirled in a vertical plane with axis of rotation being 150 cm above the ground. The angular speed is gently increased until the string breaks. At which point along the circular path is the break likely to occur?

A space station is constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 5.00 104 kg. Members of the crew walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 100 m. At rest when constructed, the ring is set rotating about its axis so that the people inside experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. (See Fig. P10.52.) The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. (a) What angular momentum does the space station acquire? (b) For what time interval must the rockets be fired if each exerts a thrust of 125 N? Figure P10.52 Problems 52 and 54.
A disk 8.00 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1200 rev/min about its central axis. Determine (a) its angular speed in radians per second, (b) the tangential speed at a point 3.00 cm from its center, (c) the radial acceleration of a point on the rim, and (d) the total distance a point on the rim moves in 2.00 s.
A stone of mass 800.0 g is fastened to a string of length 75.0 cm which would break when the tension in it exceeds 50.0 N. The stone is whirled in a vertical plane with axis of rotation being 150 cm above the ground. The angular speed is gently increased until the string breaks. At what angular speed will the string break?
Consider the system of particles that are connected by rigid rods of negligible mass. If the system will rotate along an axis that will pass through the ml and m2 particles (left side/vertical) with an angular speed of 9 rev/s, Find the mombet of inertia of the system. (m1= 7kg; m2= 3 kg; m3=10 kg; a= 3m and b= 3m
A child’s toy consists of a small wedge that has an acute angle of 34◦. The sloping side of the wedge is frictionless, and the wedge is spun at a constant speed by rotating a rod that is firmly attached to it at one end. When the mass of 41 g rises up the wedge a distance 46 cm and stays there, what is the speed of the mass? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
The hook is hanging from a cord that is wound around a drum of 0.5 m radius. If the weight of the hook causes the hook to fall from rest and was initially hanging 18 m from the ground, how many turns (in radians) will the drum make before the hook reaches the ground?
A wheel 4 m in diameter rotates on a fixed frictionless horizontal axis, about which its moment of inertia is 10 kg.m2. A constant tension of 40 N is maintained on a rope wrapped around the rim of the wheel. If the wheel starts from rest at t = 0 s, find the length of rope unwounded at t=3 s.
The coordinate axes shown represent the principal centroidal axes of inertia of a 3000-lb space probe whose radii of gyration are kx = 1.375 ft,ky = 1.425 ft, and Kz = 1.250 ft. The probe has no angular velocity when a 5-oz meteorite strikes one of its solar panels at point A with a velocity v0 = (2400 ft/s)i- (3000 ft/s)j + (3200 ft/s)k relative to the probe. Knowing that the meteorite emerges on the other side of the panel with no change in the direction of its velocity, but with a speed reduced by 20 percent, determine the final angular velocity of the probe.
