You have a pulley 12.6 cm in diameter and with a mass of 2.0 kg. You get to wondering whether the pulley is uniform. That is, is the mass evenly distributed, or is it concentrated toward the center or the rim? To find out, you hang the pulley on a hook, wrap a string around it several times, and suspend your 1.4 kg physics book 1.5 m above the floor. With your stopwatch, you can find that it takes 0.68 s for your book to hit the floor. Use g=9.8 m/s2. What is the moment of inertia if the pulley is uniform? 3.9e-3 kg m2 What is the actual moment of inertia of the pulley based on your measurement? X kg m2

When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 165 N at a distance of 0.140 m from the center of the bolt. How much torque are you exerting in newton-meters (relative to the center of the bolt)?
How do you solve problem? I'm confused about which equations to use and which variables go where. How should I think about what is going on? You have a pulley 14.6 cm in diameter and with a mass of 1.9 kg. You get to wondering whether the pulley is uniform. That is, is the mass evenly distributed, or is it concentrated toward the center or the rim? To find out, you hang the pulley on a hook, wrap a string around it several times, and suspend your 1.2 kg physics book 1.5 m above the floor. With your stopwatch, you can find that it takes 0.62 s for your book to hit the floor. Use g=9.8 m/s2. a) What is the moment of inertia if the pulley is uniform? b) What is the actual moment of inertia of the pulley based on your measurement? c) Is the pulley uniform (within 1% of uniform), is the mass of the pulley concentrated toward the center, or is the mass concentrated toward the rim?

Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 2.10 mm long. One person lifts at one end with a force of 450 NN, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 570 NN. What is the weight of the motor? Express your answer in newtons. Where along the board is its center of gravity located? Express your answer in meters. Suppose the board is not light but weighs 190 NN, with its center of gravity at its center, and the two people each exert the same forces as before. What is the weight of the motor in this case? Express your answer in newtons. Where is its center of gravity located? Express your answer in meters.
My book has the answers as a) 10N b) 196N But I can't figure out the proper way to work it out. I figured you start by using torque and the weight of the board plus the forces of each support to make a equation for Fn1. Then once you solve for it go back and make a equation for Fn2. But I'm not getting the answers in my book when I do this.
