Describe how work is done by a skater pulling in her arms during a spin. In particular, identify the force she exerts on each arm to pull it in and the distance each moves, noting that a component of the force is in the direction moved. Why is angular momentum not increased by this action?

CHECK and THINK Our results give us a way to think about how a person might steer a unicycle. Consider the person, the unicycle, and the Earth as the system. No net torque acts on the system. Ignoring the motion of the Earth, Figure 13.37A shows the initial angular momentum of the system with the unicycle in motion: Li=Ltire. The person leans to his left so that the angular momentum of the tire rotates downward. The total angular momentum must still point to the right (Fig. 13.37B), so the angular momentum of the person must be upward to compensate. The persons angular velocity therefore points upward (parallel to his own angular momentum), and he is able to make a turn. Another way to analyze this situation is to exclude the Earth from the system and calculate the torque done by gravity. This approach is left as a homework problem. FIGURE 13.37 C Reanalyze the unicycles motion in Example 13.15 (page 382). This time, leave the Earth out of the system and explain how the torque exerted by gravity causes the unicycle to turn. Your explanation should involve a diagram.

An automobile engine can produce 200Nm of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0 of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0-kg disk that has a 0.180-m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.
