- Consider the system in the figure, in which a small mass m = 1.95 kg is sliding off the top of a cylindrical object. There is no friction between the mass and the cylinder, which has a radius of r = 0.46 m. At what height, relative to the bottom of the cylinder, will the mass leave the surface of the cylinder?arrow_forwardConsider a conical pendulum (Fig. P6.8) with a bob of mass m = 80.0 kg on a string of length L = 10.0 m that makes an angle of = 5.00 with the vertical. Determine (a) the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the siring on the pendulum and (b) the radial acceleration of I he bob.arrow_forwardConsider an "L-shaped rod” of uniform mass density, hinged at point 'O' is held at rest initially.The mass of the rod is 'm = 1 kg'. The earth's gravitational field is assumed to be uniform and directed downwards. Assume no friction at hinges.The rod is now released. Find the maximum magnitude of angular speed of the rod (in rad/s). (Take: L=1m, √10 =19÷6)arrow_forward
- A uniform sphere of mass m and radius R rolls without slipping down a plane at an angle θ from thehorizontal. Show that the acceleration along the slope of the center of mass is aCM = (5/7)g sin θ and that the force of static friction needed is fs = (2/7)mg sin θ. What minimum coefcient of friction µs is needed to satisfythe conditions of the problem?arrow_forwardAssume the earth is a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R. As strange as it may sound, if one can dig a long tunnel from one side of the Earth straight through the center and exit the other end, any object falling into the tunnel will appear at the other end (i.e. the opposite side of the Earth) in just 2530 s (42.2 min). Call that time t. Let t be a function of G, M, and R, where G = 6.67 x 10^-11 m3 kg−1 s−2 is the Universal Gravitational Constant, M = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, and R = 6400 km.

Which reaches the bottom first, and what is the speed of each there?arrow_forward
- A space of mass 120 kg is going to use a planet for a gravitational assist- that is, use the planet's gravity to change its direction of travel without expending any fuel. It is initially moving at a velocity of 280 m/s and at an angle of theta initial = 53 degrees, at a distance of 11500 km from the center of the planet. Given an expression for the angular momentum of the spacecraft using the coordinate system specified in terms of m, r0, v0, theta initial, and vector units i, j, k If the spaceship whips around the planet to the other side so that the angle is theta 35 and is moving at 95 m/s, how far, in kilometers, from the planet is it?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_forwardConsider the case of a rotating wheel at rest and starting a clockwise rotation, meaning the negative direction of the angular velocity, and increasing (negatively) its value up to -12 rad/sec for 2 seconds. It then maintains a constant velocity for 2 seconds, and then uniformly reduces the magnitude of the velocity for 2 seconds until the wheel is momentarily stopped and restarts its rotation counter-clockwise with positive angular velocity, accelerating up to 20 rad/sec in 2 seconds and remaining at a constant rotation for 2 more seconds. Finally, the wheel stops gradually in 2 seconds. Next, you can see the graph of angular velocity versus time of this rotation: Apply the angular position equation. with θo=0, wo=0, substituting the value of the angular acceleration in the range from 0 to 2 seconds obtained in question 2, perform the tabulation of values to fill the following table; describe the type of parabola and draw the graph: Equation:θ=f(t) Concavity type:…arrow_forward

Write the results below:arrow_forwardThe velocity of the 8-kg cylinder is 0.3 m∕s at a certaininstant. The mass of the grooved drum is 12 kg, its centroidal radiusof gyration is k = 210 mm, and the radius of its groove isri = 200 mm. The frictional moment at O is a constant3 N∙m. Find the frictional force if final speed is given to be 2.5.arrow_forwardYou pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude Fyb = 44 N that is attached to a block of mass mb = 6.1 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass mc = 4.7 kg and radius r = 0.4 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 135 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction ( μs = 0.61 and μk = 0.34 ), and the incline angle is θ = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched. The block slides down the plane, the cylinder rolls down the plane (without slipping), and the spring stretches. First, what is the speed of the block and cylinder after you have pulled the block and cylinder 107 cm down the plane? How far have you pulled the block and cylinder when everything stops? I can not figure out this homework question.arrow_forward
