A child’s toy consists of a small wedge that has an acute angle θ (Fig. P6.28). The sloping side of the wedge is frictionless, and an object of mass m on it remains at constant height if the wedge is spun at a certain constant speed. The wedge is spun by rotating, as an axis, a vertical rod that is firmly attached to the wedge at the bottom end. Show that, when the object sits at rest at a point at distance L up along the wedge, the speed of the object must be v = (gL sin θ)1/2.

- A disk of mass m = 0.140 kg is attached to a lightweight, taut string which keeps it in circular motion, as shown in the figure below. The disk slides on a horizontal table with negligible friction at speed v = 80.0 cm/s, and the radius of its circular path is r. = 36.0 cm. The string passes a small hole in the table and is initially held in place. The string is then slowly pulled downward a distance of 12.0 cm. How much work (in J) is done on the disk? O Need Help?

As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string on the table is 1.00 m long and the speed of the rock is 50.5 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in newtons, of the string? Need Help?arrow_forwardInitially, a small 4.0-kg rock is whirling at the end of a very thin string in a circular path of radius 1.25 m on a horizontal frictionless surface, as shown in the figure. The initial tangential speed of the rock was 8.0 m/s. The string has been slowly winding around a vertical rod, and a few seconds later the length of the string has shortened to 0.25 m. What is the instantaneous speed of the mass at the moment the string reaches a length of 0.25 m?arrow_forward
- A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P6.68. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle h that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical, (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle's rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a), (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem.arrow_forwardThe motion of spinning a hula hoop around one's hips can be modeled as a hoop rotating around an axis not through the center, but offset from the center by an amount h, where h is less than R, the radius of the hoop. Suppose Maria spins a hula hoop with a mass of 0.72 kg and a radius of 0.65 m around her waist. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the hoop, but approximately 0.43 m from the center of the hoop.

Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle?arrow_forward

An object of mass m = 3.25 kg attached to the string rotates on a frictionless, horizontal table in a circle of radius r = 0.805 m, and the other end of the string is held fixed as in the figure below.
