In Fig. 11.18, the lower disk, of mass 440 g and radius 3.5 cm, is rotating at 180 rpm on a frictionless shaft of negligible radius. The upper disk, of mass 270 g and radius 2.3 cm, is initially not rotating. It drops freely down onto the lower disk, and frictional forces bring the two disks to a common rotational speed. Find (a) that common speed and (b) the fraction of the initial kinetic energy lost to friction.

- In the figure below, the disk, of mass 440 g and radius 3.5 cm, is rotating at 180 rpm on a frictionless shaft of negligible radius. The upper disk, of mass 270 g and radius 2.3 cm, is initially not rotating. It drops freely down onto the lower dis, and frictional forces bring the two disk to a common rotational speed. Find (a) that common speed and (b) the fraction of the initial kinetic energy lost to friction.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. A. What is the rotational inertia about its central axis? Neglect rotational inertia of the axle. The density p is 8400kg/m^3. B. A string of length l=1.1m and of negligible thickness is wound on the axle. What is the linear acceleration of the yo-yo as it rolls down the string from the rest?arrow_forwardCalculate the m.і. of a thin uniform rod of the mass 100g and length 60cm about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through (1) its centre and (2) one end.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardtwo particles, each with mass m = 0.79 kg, are fastened to each other, and to a rotation axis at O, by two thin rods, each with length d = 5.3 cm and mass M = 1.1 kg. The combination rotates around the rotation axis with angular speed ω = 0.34 rad/s. Measured about O, what is the combination's (a) rotational inertia and (b) kinetic energy?arrow_forwardIn an experiment, a mass m = 40g, attached to a string wrapped around the axle of a flywheel and starting from rest, falls through a distance of 147 cm in 3.5s. The diameter of axle of the flywheel is 12cm what is the acceleration of the mass and the angular acceleration of the flywheel?arrow_forward
- In the assembly below the system can rotate around the vertical axis. The left part is a square where R = 0.1 meters, and the mass of each of the four thin bars is uniform and is 0.1 kg. On the left is a massive sphere of radius R = 0.2 meters and Mass M = 0.3 kg. Assume that the system rotates with constant period T = 2.0 s, when, without any external action, as three leftmost bars detach from the system, leaving only the right vertical bar (on the axis) and sphere . What will be the new period of system revolution? Note: Note that in this case there is no difference between angular velocity and frequency.arrow_forwardIf the rotational inertia of a disk is 30 kg m2, its radius R is 2.2 m, and its angular velocity Omega is 6.7 rad/s, determine the linear velocity v of a point on the edge of the disk.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 solid cylinder of mass 2.0 kg and radius 20 cm is rotating counterclockwise around a vertical axis through its center at 600 rev/min. A second solid cylinder of the same mass and radius is rotating clockwise around the same vertical axis at 900 rev/min. If the cylinders couple so that they rotate about the same vertical axis, what is the angular velocity of the combination?arrow_forwardIf the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, what is the functional form of the angular velocity?arrow_forwardA space station is constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 5.00 104 kg. Members of the crew walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 100 m. At rest when constructed, the ring is set rotating about its axis so that the people inside experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. (See Fig. P10.52.) The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. (a) What angular momentum does the space station acquire? (b) For what time interval must the rockets be fired if each exerts a thrust of 125 N? Figure P10.52 Problems 52 and 54.arrow_forward
