Casting molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A variety of sophisticated techniques have been invented, but the basic idea is as illustrated in Figure P4.35. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis, so unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Sometimes it is desirable to form a composite casting, such as for a bearing. Here a strong steel outer surface is poured and then inside it a lining of special low-friction metal. In some applications, a very strong metal is given a coating of corrosion-resistant metal. Centrifugal casting results in strong bonding between the layers. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be at least 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute.
Figure CQ10.15 shows a side view of a childs tricycle with rubber tires on a horizontal concrete sidewalk. If a string were attached to the upper pedal on the far side and pulled forward horizontally, the tricycle would start to roll forward. (a) Instead, assume a siring is attached to the lower pedal on the near side and pulled forward horizontally as shown by A. Will the tricycle start to roll? If so, which way? Answer the same questions if (b) the string is pulled forward and upward as shown by B, (c) if the string is pulled straight down as shown by C, and (d) if the string is pulled forward and downward as shown by D. (e) What If? Suppose the string is instead attached to the rim of the front wheel and pulled upward and backward as shown by E. Which way does the tricycle roll? (f) Explain a pattern of reasoning, based on the figure, that makes it easy to answer questions such as these. What physical quantity must you evaluate? Figure CQ10.15
Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute. Figure P7.62

3. It’s an arm day at the gym and all the free weights and machines are taken. You don’t have much time to squeeze in your workout before your next class. Desperate to get your reps in, you see a pile of Therabands (the giant rubber bands used for physical therapy). The bands are 100 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick. You sit down to do some bicep curls with the Theraband tied to rack 60 cm away from your hand and your hand is 80 cm from the floor. However, a single length of the Theraband is too easy to curl, so you end up wrapping it around your hand twice (i.e. you are stretching 4 lengths of Theraband when you do your reps). From previous obsessing over your personal biomechanics, you know the following: your arm and hand weigh 2 kg with a center of mass 12 cm distal from your elbow joint; you are holding the Theraband 35 cm from your elbow joint; your bicep muscle inserts 4 cm from your elbow joint and is positioned so it is contracting perpendicularly to the ground. You quickly get…
