You are the technical consultant for an action-adventure film in which a stunt calls for the hero to drop off a 19-m-tall building and land on the ground safely at a final vertical speed of 5 m/s. At the edge of the building's roof, there is a 100-kg drum that is wound with a sufficiently long rope (of negligible mass), has a radius of 0.4 m, and is free to rotate about its cylindrical axis with a moment of inertia I0. The script calls for the 76-kg stuntman to tie the rope around his waist and walk off the roof.

Consider the case of a rotating wheel at rest and starting a clockwise rotation, meaning the negative direction of the angular velocity, and increasing (negatively) its value up to -12 rad/sec for 2 seconds. It then maintains a constant velocity for 2 seconds, and then uniformly reduces the magnitude of the velocity for 2 seconds until the wheel is momentarily stopped and restarts its rotation counter-clockwise with positive angular velocity, accelerating up to 20 rad/sec in 2 seconds and remaining at a constant rotation for 2 more seconds. Finally, the wheel stops gradually in 2 seconds. Next, you can see the graph of angular velocity versus time of this rotation: Apply the angular position equation. with θo=0, wo=0, substituting the value of the angular acceleration in the range from 0 to 2 seconds obtained in question 2, perform the tabulation of values to fill the following table; describe the type of parabola and draw the graph: Equation:θ=f(t) Concavity type:…
