Let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule now have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still y axis. The first atom has a mass of 9.199 kg, with x coordinate at 3.655 m and y coordinate at 8.442 m. The second atom has a mass of 41.619 kg, with x coordinate at 76.902 m and y coordinate at 57.706 m. The third atom has a mass of 39.818 kg, with x coordinate at 39.495 m and y coordinate at 25.9 m. What is the moment of inertia in unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?

Carbon-14 (14C) is an unstable isotope of carbon. It has the same chemical properties and electronic structure as the much more abundant isotope carbon-12 (12C), but it has different nuclear properties. Its mass is 14 u, greater than that of carbon-12 because of the two extra neutrons in the carbon-14 nucleus. Assume the CO molecular potential energy is the same for both isotopes of carbon. (a) What is the vibrational frequency of 14CO? (b) What is the moment of inertia of 14CO? (c) What wavelengths of light can be absorbed by 14CO in the (υ = 0, J = 10) state that cause it to end up in the υ = 1 state?
A tapered ladder, (length = 10.5 m and mass = 18.5 kgs) whose center of gravity is 1/3 from its foot, leans against a rough vertical wall. The foot of the ladder is 6.25 m away from the wall. A 60-kg man is standing 2.5 meter from the top of the ladder. If the coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is 0.35, determine a) the coefficient of friction between the floor and the ladder, b) reaction components and the resultant reaction (magnitude & direction) at both ends.
Calculate the angles that the angular momentum vector L can make with the z -axis for l = 1 , as illustrated.
Cold interstellar molecular clouds often contain the molecule cyanogen (CN), whose first rotational excited states have an energy of 4.7x 10-4 eV (above the ground state). There are actually three such excited states, all with the same energy. In 1941, studies of the absorption spectrum of starlight that passes through these molecular clouds showed that for every ten CN molecules that are in the ground state, approximately three others are in the three first excited states (that is, an average of one in each of these states). To account for this data, astronomers suggested that the molecules might be in thermal equilibrium with some "reservoir" with a well-defined temperature. What is that temperature?*
