A uniform, 8.40-kg, spherical shell 50.0 cm in diameter has four small 2.00-kg masses attached to its outer surface and equally spaced around it. This combination is spinning about an axis running through the center of the sphere and two of the small masses (Fig. P10.56). What friction torque is needed to reduce its angular speed from 75.0 rpm to 50.0 rpm in 30.0 s?

- A thin, spherical shell of mass m and radius R rolls down aparabolic path PQR from height H without slipping (assumeR H) as shown in Figure P13.65. Path PQ is rough (and sothe shell will roll on that path), whereas path QR is smooth, orfrictionless (so the shell will only slide, not roll, in this region).Determine the height h above point Q reached by the shell onpath QR. FIGURE P13.65arrow_forwardA uniform solid sphere of mass m and radius r is releasedfrom rest and rolls without slipping on a semicircular ramp ofradius R r (Fig. P13.76).

- A square plate with sides of length 4.0 m can rotate about an axle passing through its center of mass and perpendicular to the plate as shown in Figure P14.36. There are four forces acting on the plate at different points. The rotational inertia of the plate is 24 kgm2. Is the plate in equilibrium? FIGURE P14.36arrow_forwardA square plate with sides 2.0 m in length can rotatearound an axle passingthrough its center of mass(CM) and perpendicular toits surface (Fig. P12.53). There are four forces acting on the plate at differentpoints. The rotational inertia of the plate is 24 kg m2. Use the values given in the figure to answer the following questions. a. Whatis the net torque acting onthe plate? b. What is theangular acceleration of the plate? FIGURE P12.53 Problems 53 and 54.arrow_forwardFigure P10.16 shows the drive train of a bicycle that has wheels 67.3 cm in diameter and pedal cranks 17.5 cm long. The cyclist pedals at a steady cadence of 76.0 rev/min. The chain engages with a front sprocket 15.2 cm in diameter and a rear sprocket 7.00 cm in diameter. Calculate (a) the speed of a link of the chain relative to the bicycle frame, (b) the angular speed of the bicycle wheels, and (c) the speed of the bicycle relative to the road.

- A wheel of inner radius r1 = 15.0 cm and outer radius r2 = 35.0 cm shown in Figure P12.43 is free to rotate about the axle through the origin O. What is the magnitude of the net torque on the wheel due to the three forces shown? FIGURE P12.43arrow_forwardIn Figure P10.40, the hanging object has a mass of m1 = 0.420 kg; the sliding block has a mass of m2 = 0.850 kg; and the pulley is a hollow cylinder with a mass of M = 0.350 kg, an inner radius of R1 = 0.020 0 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.030 0 m. Assume the mass of the spokes is negligible. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is k = 0.250. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The light cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of vi = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley when it passes a reference point on the table. (a) Use energy methods to predict its speed after it has moved to a second point, 0.700 m away. (b) Find the angular speed of the pulley at the same moment. Figure P10.40arrow_forwardA smaller disk of radius r and mass m is attached rigidly to the face of a second larger disk of radius R and mass M as shown in Figure P15.48. The center of the small disk is located at the edge of the large disk. The large disk is mounted at its center on a frictionless axle. The assembly is rotated through a small angle from its equilibrium position and released.

- Disc jockeys (DJs) use a turntable in applying their trade, often using their hand to speed up or slow down a disc record so as to produce a desired change in the sound (Fig. P12.56). Suppose DJ Trick wants to slow down a record initially rotating clockwise (as viewed from above) with an angular speed of 33.0 rpm to an angular speed of 22.0 rpm. The record has a rotational inertia of 0.012 kgm2 and a radius of 0.15 m. a. What angular acceleration is necessary if he wishes to accomplish this feat in exactly 0.65 s with a constant acceleration? b. How many revolutions does the record go through during this change in speed? c. If DJ Trick applies a vertical force with his finger to the edge of the record, with what force must he push so as to slow the record in the above time? Assume the coefficient of kinetic friction between his finger and the record is 0.50, and ignore the mass of the finger. FIGURE P12.56arrow_forwardA solid sphere of mass m and radius r rolls without slipping along the track shown in Figure P10.83. It starts from rest with the lowest point of the sphere at height h above the bottom of the loop of radius R, much larger than r. (a) What is the minimum value of h (in terms of R) such that the sphere completes the loop? (b) What are the force components on the sphere at the point P if h = 3R? Figure P10.83arrow_forwardReview. A string is wound around a uniform disk of radius R and mass M. The disk is released from rest with the string vertical and its top end tied to a fixed bar (Fig. P10.78). Show that (a) the tension in the string is one third of the weight of the disk, (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of mass is 2g/3, and (c) the speed of the center of mass is (4gh/3)1/2 after the disk has descended through distance h.
