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?
A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire on the rear wheel. A friend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly oil tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P10.74). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises a distance h1 above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises a distance h2 h1 above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because the angular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.

A cylinder of mass 10.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant, its center of mass has a speed of 10.0 m/s. Determine (a) the translational kinetic energy of its center of mass, (b) the rotational kinetic energy about its center of mass, and (c) its total energy.
A 60.0-kg woman stands at the western rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of 500 kg m2 and a radius of 2.00 m. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s relative to the Earth. Consider the womanturntable system as motion begins. (a) Is the mechanical energy of the system constant? (b) Is the momentum of the system constant? (c) Is the angular momentum of the system constant? (d) In what direction and with what angular speed does the turntable rotate? (c) How much potential energy in the womans body is converted into mechanical energy of the womanturntable system as the woman sets herself and the turntable into motion?
Twin skaters approach one another as shown below and lock hands. (a) Calculate their final angular velocity given each had an initial speed of 2.50 m/s relative to the ice. Each has a mass of 70.0 kg and each has a center of mass located 0.800 m from their locked hands. You may approximate their moments of inertia to be that of point masses at this radius. (b) Compare the initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy.
A pendulum consists of a rod of mass 2 kg and length 1 m with a solid sphere at one end with mass 0.3 kg and radius 20 cm (see the following figure). If the pendulum is released from rest at an angle of 30 , what is the angular velocity at the lowest point?
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.
Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potters wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R = 0.500 m and mass M = 100 kg. In operation, the wheel rotates at 50.0 rev/min. While the wheel is spinning, your grandmother works clay at the center of the wheel with her hands into a pot-shaped object with circular symmetry. When the correct shape is reached, she wants to stop the wheel in as short a time interval as possible, so that the shape of the pot is not further distorted by the rotation. She pushes continuously with a wet rag as hard as she can radially inward on the edge of the wheel and the wheel stops in 6.0 s. (a) You would like to build a brake to stop the wheel in a shorter time interval, but you must determine the coefficient of friction between the rag and the wheel in order to design a better system. You determine that the maximum pressing force your grandmother can sustain for 6.00 s is 70.0 N. (b) What If? If your grandmother instead chooses to press down on the upper surface of the wheel a distance r = 0.300 m from the axis of rotation, what is the force needed to stop the wheel in 6.00 s? Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wet rag and the wheel remains the same as before.
