Chapter 17, Problem 17.138RP
You are asked to analyze a catcher for a small drone. The catcher arm weighs 20 lb and is 8 ft long (you can model it as a slender rod); the net that catches the drone at B has negligible mass. The 3-lb drone has a mass moment of inertia about its own center of mass of 0.01 slug

A flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy for later use. Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2.
1) Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 0.55 m, mass m1 = 16 kg, v = 45 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 11 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel.
2) Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim. Imagine the flywheel delivers one third of its stored kinetic energy to car, initially at rest, leaving it with a speed vcar. Enter an expression for the mass of the car, in terms of the quantities defined here.
A long ladder of length l, mass m, and centroidal mass moment of inertia I is placed against a house at an angle 0=0O. Knowing that the ladder is released from rest, determine the angular velocity of the ladder when 0=02. Assume the ladder can slide freely on the horizontal ground and on the vertical wall.
An object in the shape of a thin ring has radius a and mass M. A uniform sphere with mass m and radius R is placed with its center at a distance x to the right of the center of the ring, along a line through the center of the ring, and perpendicular to its plane . What is the gravitational force that the sphere exerts on the ring-shaped object? Show that your result reduces to the expected result when x is much larger than a.

The two outer disks are identical, each with mass M = 58 g, radius R = 3.3 cm, and moment of inertia 1/2MR2. The central, smaller disk has mass M/2 and radius R/2. A light, flexible string of negligible mass is wrapped counterclockwise around the central disk of the yoyo. The yoyo is then placed on a horizontal tabletop and the string is gently pulled with a constant force F = 0.25 N. The tension in the string is not sufficient to cause the yoyo to leave the tabletop.
