Hungarian Adrian Annus won the gold medal for thehammer throw at the 2004 Olympics in Athens with a winningdistance of 83.19 meters.* The event consists of swinging a16-pound weight attached to a wire 190 centimeters long ina circle and then releasing it. Assuming his release is at a 45°angle to the ground, the hammer will travel a distance ofv02/gmeters, where g = 9.8 meters/second2and v0 is the linearspeed of the hammer when released. At what rate (rpm) washe swinging the hammer upon release?
On the International Space Station an object with mass m = 440 g is attached to a massless string of length L = 0.61 m. The string can handle a tension of T = 5.8 N before breaking. The object undergoes uniform circular motion, being spun around by the string horizontally.What is the maximum speed v the mass can have before the string breaks? Give your answer in units of m/s.
Assume the earth is a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R. As strange as it may sound, if one can dig a long tunnel from one side of the Earth straight through the center and exit the other end, any object falling into the tunnel will appear at the other end (i.e. the opposite side of the Earth) in just 2530 s (42.2 min). Call that time t. Let t be a function of G, M, and R, where G = 6.67 x 10^-11 m3 kg−1 s−2 is the Universal Gravitational Constant, M = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, and R = 6400 km. (a) From dimensional analysis alone find the expression for t, up to a numerical constant c.(b) Determine the value of c by using the above values in the expression found in part (a).

A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P5.59. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle θ that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical. (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If ? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle’s rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a). (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem. Figure P5.59
