A 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.

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.
During a supernova, the iron core of a supermassive star collapses into a neutron star. Let the mass of the collapsing core be (3×10^30kg), the initial radius is (6×10^6m), the final radius is (1×10^4m), and the initial rotation rate to be (1 rotation every 6 hours). [The moment of inertia of a sphere is 2/5M r^2.
What is the final rotation rate of the neutron star?
