John is pushing his daughter Rachel in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (Fig. P12.15). The handles make an angle of = 15.0 with the ground. Due to the weight of Rachel and the wheelbarrow, a downward force of 400 N is exerted at the center of the wheel, which has a radius of 20.0 cm. (a) What force must John apply along the handles to just start the wheel over the brick? (b) What is the force (magnitude and direction) that the brick exerts on the wheel just as the wheel begins to lift over the brick? In both parts, assume the brick remains fixed and does not slide along the ground. Also assume the force applied by John is directed exactly toward the center of the wheel.
Figure P10.41 shows a side view of a car tire before it is mounted on a wheel. Model it as having two side-walls of uniform thickness 0.635 cm and a tread wall of uniform thickness 2.50 cm and width 20.0 cm. Assume the rubber has uniform density 1.10 103 kg/m3. Find its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the page through its center. Figure P10.41
A soccer player extends her lower leg in a kicking motion by exerting a force with the muscle above the knee in the front of her leg. She produces an angular acceleration of 30.00 rad/s2 and her lower leg has a moment of inertia of 0.750kg-m2 What is the force exerted by the muscle if its effective perpendicular lever arm is 1.90 cm?
Three objects of uniform densitya solid sphere, a solid cylinder, and a hollow cylinderare placed at the top of an incline (Fig. CQ10.13). They are all released from rest at the same elevation and roll without slipping, (a) Which object reaches the bottom first? (b) Which reaches it last? Note: The result is independent of the masses and the radii of the objects. (Try this activity at home!) Figure CQ10.13
Suppose a disk having massMtot and radius R is broken intofour equal parts (Fig. P13.10).What is the rotational inertia ofone-fourth of the disk aroundthe z axis shown? FIGURE P13.10
A uniform solid disk and a uniform hoop are placed side by side at the top of an incline of height h. (a) If they are released from rest and roll without slipping, which object reaches the bottom first? (b) Verify your answer by calculating their speeds when they reach the bottom in terms of h.
A simple pendulum consists of a small object of mass 3.0 kg hanging at the end of a 2.0-m-long light string that is connected to a pivot point. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the torque (due to the force of gravity) about this pivot point when the string makes a 5.0 angle with the vertical. (b) Does the torque increase or decrease as the angle increases? Explain. Figure P8.6
Why is the following situation impossible? A uniform beam of mass mk = 3.00 kg and length = 1.00 m supports blocks with masses m1 = 5.00 kg and m2 = 15.0 kg at two positions as shown in Figure P12.2. The beam rests on two triangular blocks, with point P a distance d = 0.300 m to the right of the center of gravity of the beam. The position of the object of mass m2 is adjusted along the length of the beam until the normal force on the beam at O is zero. Figure P12.2
Review. A spool of wire of mass M and radius R is unwound under a constant force F (Fig. P10.42). Assuming the spool is a uniform, solid cylinder that doesnt slip, show that (a) the acceleration of the center of mass is 4F/3M and (b) the force of friction is to the right and equal in magnitude to F/3. (c) If the cylinder starts from rest and rolls without slipping, what is the speed of its center of mass after it has rolled through a distance d?
