- Angular momentum is conserved in the absence of which of the following? (3.7) (a) inertia (b) gravity (c) a net torque (d) linear momentumarrow_forwardA particle of mass 0.400 kg is attached to the 100-cm mark of a meter stick of mass 0.100 kg. The meter sack rotates on a horizontal, frictionless table with an angular speed of 4.00 rad/s. Calculate the angular momentum of the system when the stick is pivoted about an axis (a) perpendicular to the table through the 50.0cm mark and (b) perpendicular to the table through the 0-cm mark.arrow_forwardA bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire on the rear wheel. A friend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly oil tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P10.74). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises a distance h1 above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises a distance h2 h1 above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because the angular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.arrow_forward

Find (a) the force exerted by the hammer claws on the nail and (b) the force exerted by the surface on the point of contact with the hammer head.
