Concept explainers
(II) A toy gyroscope consists of a 170-g disk with a radius of 5.5 cm mounted at the center of a thin axle 21 cm long (Fig. 11–41). The gyroscope spins at 45 rev/s. One end of its axle rests on a stand and the other end precesses horizontally about the stand. (a) How long does it take the gyroscope to precess once around? (b) If all the dimensions of the gyroscope were doubled (radius = 11 cm. axle = 42 cm), how long would it take to precess once?

- Can a set of forces have a net force that is zero and a net torque that is not zero?arrow_forwardAn automobile engine can produce 200Nm of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0 of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0-kg disk that has a 0.180-m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.arrow_forwardIf the torque acting on a particle about an axis through a certain origin is zero, what can you say about its angular momentum about that axis?arrow_forward
- Check Your Understanding Which has greater angular momentum: a solid sphere of mass m rotating at a constant angular frequency 0 about the z-axis, or a solid cylinder of same mass and rotation rate about the z-axis?arrow_forwardA constant torque is applied to a rigid body whose moment of inertia is 4.0kgm2 around the axis of rotation. If the wheel starts from rest and attains an angular velocity of 20.0 rad/s in 10.0 s, what is the applied torque?arrow_forward(I) Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel 67 cm in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of 1.1 kg. The mass of the hub (at the center) can be ignored (why?).arrow_forward
- (II) A nonrotating cylindrical disk of moment of inertia I is dropped onto an identical disk rotating at angular speed w. Assuming no external torques, what is the final common angular speed of the two disks?arrow_forward(II) A 0.72-m-diameter solid sphere can be rotated aboutan axis through its center by a torque of 10.8 N m whichaccelerates it uniformly from rest through a total of160 revolutions in 15.0 s. What is the mass of the sphere?arrow_forward12–158. An airplane is flying in a straight line with a velocity of 200 mi/h and an acceleration of 3 mi/h². If the propeller has a diameter of 6 ft and is rotating at a constant angular rate of 120 rad/s, determine the magnitudes of velocity and acceleration of a particle located on the tip of the propeller.arrow_forward
