Figure 10.31 shows an object of mass M with one axis through its center of mass and a parallel axis through an arbitrary point A.
Both axes are perpendicular to the page. The figure shows an arbitrary mass element dm and vectors connecting the center of mass, the point A, and dm. (a) Use the law of cosines (Appendix A) to show that

- A uniform rod of mass 190 g and length 100 cm is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a fixed vertical axis through its center, perpendicular to its length. Two small beads, each of mass 24 g, are mounted in grooves along the rod. Initially, the two beads are held by catches on opposite sides of the rod's center, 12 cm from the axis of rotation. With the beads in this position, the rod is rotating with an angular velocity of 15.0 rad/s. When the catches are released, the beads slide outward along the rod. (a)What is the rod's angular velocity (in rad/s) when the beads reach the ends of the rod?

- The homogeneous, solid cylinder with mass m = 4.7 kg and radius r = 0.56 m rolls along the inclined surface without slipping. If the initial angular velocity is ω1 = 2.6 rad/s (counterclockwise), and after a certain time lapse the angular velocity is ω2 = 2.8 rad/s (clockwise), determine the magnitude of the component of the linear impulse parallel to the inclined surface due to gravitational force during this time period. Let θ = 65o.

The pulley is attached, but can rotate freely around its axis of symmetry. As shown in the Figure below, at the initial instant the mass m1 is at a height h= 3.29 m in relation to m2. Knowing that the system starts from rest, and that the magnitude of the linear velocity of m1 when the masses pass through the same vertical position is v=3.31 m/s, what is the mass M of the pulley? Here, assume the acceleration due to gravity as g=10 m/s², the pulley moment of inertia as I=MR2 and, finally, that the wire does not slide on the pulley.
