- A wheel 2.00 m in diameter lies in a vertical plane and rotates about its central axis with a constant angular acceleration of 4.00 rad/s2. The wheel starts at rest at t = 0, and the radius vector of a certain point P on the rim makes an angle of 57.3 with the horizontal at this time. At t = 2.00 s, find (a) the angular speed of the wheel and, for point P, (b) the tangential speed, (c) the total acceleration, and (d) the angular position.arrow_forwardA flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy for later use. Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2. Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 0.55 m, mass m1 = 16 kg, v = 45 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 11 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel. Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim. Imagine the flywheel delivers one third of its stored kinetic energy to car, initially at rest, leaving it with a speed vcar. Enter an expression for the mass of the car, in terms of the quantities defined here.arrow_forwardA yo-yo is constructed of two brass disks whose thickness b is 8.5mm and whose radius R is 3.5cm, joined by a short axle whose radius Ro is 3.2mm.

(c) For an axis perpendicular to the page, is the value of the rotational inertia of the rod around point P greater than, less than, or equal to the value of the rotational inertia of the rod around the rod's center of mass?arrow_forwardthree particles of mass m 23 g are fastened to three rods of length d = 12 cm and negligible mass. The rigid assembly rotates around point O at the angular speed v = 0.85 rad/s. About O, what are (a) the rotational inertia of the assembly, (b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the middle particle, and (c) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the asssembly?arrow_forwardIn the figure, two particles, each with mass m = 0.78 kg, are fastened to each other, and to a rotation axis at O, by two thin rods, each with length d = 5.5 cm and mass M = 1.3 kg. The combination rotates around the rotation axis with angular speed ω = 0.32 rad/s. Measured about O, what is the combination's (a) rotational inertia and (b) kinetic energy?arrow_forward
- A rigid bearing assembly with a point mass m = 1.15 kg, suspended at the end of a thin rod of length l = 0.750 m, is forced to rotate uniformly with angular velocity ω = 3.80 rad/s about a vertical axis. See the figure below. The angle between the rotation axis and the rod is θ. Neglect the inertia of the bearing and of the rod connecting it to the mass. Neglect friction. Include the effects of the uniform force of gravity. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the system (due to the point mass) about the vertical axis of rotation of the bearing?arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forwardA solid sphere of uniform density has a mass of 2.42 kg and a radius of 0.432 meters. A force of 13.2 Newtons is applied tangentially to the equator of the sphere. If the sphere is free to rotate without friction about an axis perpendicular to the equator to which the 13.2 Newton force is applied, what is the angular acceleration α of the sphere caused by the applied force? It may be useful to bear in mind that the moment of inertia I for a solid sphere of uniform density is I = (2/5)MR^2 where M is the mass of the sphere and R is the radius of the sphere. Also, bear in mind in this case that the torque τ is τ = RF since the force F is applied tangentially to the equator. A. 15.3 rad/s^2 B. 31.5 rad/s^2 C. 50.3 rad/s^2 D. 68.5 rad/s^2arrow_forward

A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a 3.02 kg block that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force of magnitude P = 9.18 N is applied to the block as shown in the figure, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Take the clockwise direction to be the negative direction and assume the string does not slip on the wheel.arrow_forwarda rigid structure consisting of a circular hoop of radius R and mass m, and a square made of four thin bars, each of length R and mass m. The rigid structure rotates at a constant speed about a vertical axis, with a period of rotation of 2.5 s. Assuming R = 0.50 m and m = 2.0 kg, calculate (a) the structure’s rotational inertia about the axis of rotation and (b) its angular momentum about that axis.arrow_forwardThe rigid body shown in the figure consists of three particles connected by massless rods. It is to be rotated about an axis perpendicular to its plane through point P. If M = 0.58 kg, a = 33 cm, and b = 56 cm, how much work is required to take the body from rest to an angular speed of 4.8 rad/s?arrow_forward
