Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.66P
You complain about fire safety to the landlord of your high-rise apartment building. He is willing to install an evacuation device if it is cheap and reliable, and he asks you to design it. Your proposal is to mount a large wheel (radius 0.400 m) on an axle at its center and wrap a long, light rope around the wheel, with the free end of the rope hanging just past the edge of the roof. Residents would evacuate to the roof and. one at a time, grasp the free end of the rope, step off the roof, and be lowered to the ground below. (Ignore friction at the axle.) You want a 90.0-kg person to descend with an acceleration of g/4. (a) If the wheel can be treated as a uniform disk, what mass must it have? (b) As the person descends, what is the tension in the rope?

In the figure, a small block of mass m = 0.037 kg can slide along the frictionless loop-the-loop, with loop radius R = 17 cm. The block is released from rest at point P, at height h = 5R above the bottom of the loop.
What are the magnitudes of (a) the horizontal component and (b) the vertical component of the net force acting on the block at point Q?
(c) At what height h should the block be released from rest so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop? (On the verge of losing contact means that the normal force on the block from the track has just then become zero).
You are the technical consultant for an action-adventure film in which a stunt calls for the hero to drop off a 19-m-tall building and land on the ground safely at a final vertical speed of 5 m/s. At the edge of the building's roof, there is a 100-kg drum that is wound with a sufficiently long rope (of negligible mass), has a radius of 0.4 m, and is free to rotate about its cylindrical axis with a moment of inertia I0. The script calls for the 76-kg stuntman to tie the rope around his waist and walk off the roof.
(a) Determine an expression for the stuntman's linear acceleration in terms of his mass m, the drum's radius r, and moment of inertia I0.
(b) Determine the required value of the stuntman's acceleration if he is to land safely at a speed of 5 m/s.
We can model a small merry-go-round as a uniform circular disk with mass 88 kg and diameter 1.8 m. How many 22 kg children need to ride the merry-go-round, standing right at the outer edge, to double the moment of inertia of the system?

For this problem, we will consider the bowling ball to be a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R, with a moment of inertia given by I = (2/5)MR2. The moment the ball hits the ground (t = 0), it is moving horizontally with initial linear speed v0, but not rotating (ω0 = 0). Due to kinetic friction between the ground and the ball, it begins to rotate as it slides. The coefficient of kinetic friction is µk. As the ball slides along the lane, its angular speed steadily increases. At some point (time tc), the “no-slip” condition kicks in, so that ω = v/R. After this, the ball moves with a constant linear and angular speed. Solve all parts of this problem symbolically. Use the rotational version of Newton’s second law to find an expression for the angular acceleration of the ball along the z-direction before the no-slip condition kicks in, αz.
