- Figure P10.82 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all surfaces is 0.500. The force P is increased in magnitude until the cylinder begins to rotate. In terms of Fg, find the maximum force magnitude P that can be applied without causing the cylinder to rotate. Suggestion: Show that both friction forces will be at their maximum values when the cylinder is on the verge of slipping. Figure P10.82arrow_forwardThis problem describes one experimental method for determining the moment of inertia of an irregularly shaped object such as the payload for a satellite. Figure P10.32 shows a counterweight of mass m suspended by a cord wound around a spool of radius r, forming part of a turntable supporting the object. The turntable can rotate without friction. When the counterweight is released from rest, it descends through a distance h, acquiring a speed v. Show that the moment of inertia I of the rotating apparatus (including the turntable) is mr2(2gh/v2 1).

- A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding two dumbbells, each of mass 3.00 kg (Fig. P10.56). When his arms are extended horizontally (Fig. P10.56a), the dumbbells are 1.00 m from the axis of rotation and the student rotates with an angular speed of 0.750 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.00 kg m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the dumbbells inward horizontally to a position 0.300 m from the rotation axis (Fig. P10.56b). (a) Find the new angular speed of the student. (b) Find the kinetic energy of the rotating system before and after he pulls the dumbbells inward.

The radius of the wheel is 0.330 m. A constant tangential force of 200 N applied to its edge causes the wheel to have an angular acceleration of 0.972 rad/s2.

A. First calculate the moment of inertia (in kg⋅m2) when the skater has their arms pulled inward by assuming they are cylinder of radius 0.115 m. Ib = 0.453 This was correct. I cannot figure part B B. Now calculate the moment of inertia of the skater (in kg⋅m2) with their arms extended by assuming that each arm is 5% of the mass of their body. Assume the body is a cylinder of the same size, and the arms are 0.875 m long rods extending straight out from the center of their body being rotated at the ends.arrow_forwardDivers change their body position in midair while rotating about their center of mass. In one dive, the diver leaves the board with her body nearly straight, then tucks into a somersault position.
