- Answer yes or no 10 (he following questions, (a) Is it possible to calculate the torque acting on a rigid object without specifying an axis of rotation? (b) Is the torque independent of the location of the axis of rotation?arrow_forwardA simple pendulum consists of a small object of mass 3.0 kg hanging at the end of a 2.0-m-long light string that is connected to a pivot point. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the torque (due to the force of gravity) about this pivot point when the string makes a 5.0 angle with the vertical. (b) Does the torque increase or decrease as the angle increases? Explain. Figure P8.6arrow_forwardTwo children are playing with a roll of paper towels. One child holds the roll between the index fingers of her hands so that it is free to rotate, and the second child pulls at constant speed on the free end of the paper towels. As the child pulls the paper towels, the radius of the roll of remaining towels decreases. (a) How does the torque on the roll change with time? (b) How does the angular speed of the roll change in time? (c) If the child suddenly jerks the end paper towel with a large force, is the towel more likely to break from the others when it is being pulled from a nearly full roll or from a nearly empty roll?arrow_forward
- A wrecking ball is being used to knock down a building. One tall unsupported concrete wall remains standing. If the wrecking ball hits the wall near the top, is the wall more likely to fall over by rotating at its base or by falling straight down? Explain your answer. How is it most likely to fall if it is struck with the same force at its base? Note that this depends on how firmly the wall is attached at its base.arrow_forwardYou have just bought a new bicycle. On your first riding trip, it seems that the hike comes to rest relatively quickly after you stop pedaling and let the bicycle coast on flat ground. You call the bicycle shop from which you purchased the vehicle and describe the problem. The technician says that they will replace the bearings in the wheels or do whatever else is necessary if you can prove that the frictional torque in the axle of the wheels is worse than 0.02 N m. At first, you are discouraged by the technical sound of what you have been told and by the absence of any tool to measure torque in your garage. But then you remember that you are taking a physics class! You take your bike into the garage, turn it upside down and start spinning the wheel while you think about how to determine the frictional torque. The driveway outside the garage had a small puddle, so you notice that droplets of water are flying off the edge of one point on the tire tangentially, including drops that are projected straight upward, as shown in Figure P10.21. Ah-ha! Here is your torque-measuring method! The upward-projected drops leave the rim of the wheel at the same level as the axle. You measure the height to which a drop rises from the level of the axle: h1 = 54.0 cm. The wet spot on the tire makes one revolution and another drop is projected upward. You measure its highest point: h2 = 51.0 cm. You measure the radius of the wheel: r = 0.381 m. Finally, you take the wheel off the bike and find its mass: m = 0.850 kg. Because most of the mass of the wheel is at the tire, you model the wheel as a hoop. What do you tell the technician when you call back? Figure P10.21arrow_forward(a) Give an example in which the net force acting on an object is zero, yet the net torque is nonzero, (b) Give an example in which the net torque acting on an object is zero, yet the net force is nonzero.arrow_forward
- The fishing pole in Figure P10.28 makes an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the anglers hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F = 100 N at an angle 37.0 below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 in from the anglers hands.arrow_forwardA device for exercising the upper leg muscle is shown in Figure 9.39, together with a schematic representation of an equivalent lever system. Calculate the force exerted by the upper leg muscle to lift the mass at a constant speed. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium in Applications of Statistics, Including Problem-Solving Strategiesarrow_forwardTwo forces F1 and F2 act along the two sides of an equilateral triangle as shown in Figure P11.5. Point O is the intersection of the altitudes of the triangle. (a) Find the magnitude of a third force F3 to be applied at B and along BC that will make the total torque zero about the point O. (b) What If? Will the total torque change if F3 is applied not at B but at any other point along BC? Figure P11.5arrow_forward
- Review. A piece of putty is initially located at point A on the rim of a grinding wheel rotating at constant angular speed about a horizontal axis. The putty is dislodged from point A when the diameter through A is horizontal. It then rises vertically and returns to A at the instant the wheel completes one revolution. From this information, we wish to find the speed v of the putty when it leaves the wheel and the force holding it to the wheel. (a) What analysis model is appropriate for the motion of the putty as it rises and falls? (b) Use this model to find a symbolic expression for the time interval between when the putty leaves point A and when it arrives back at A, in terms of v and g. (c) What is the appropriate analysis model to describe point A on the wheel? (d) Find the period of the motion of point A in terms of the tangential speed v and the radius R of the wheel. (e) Set the time interval from part (b) equal to the period from part (d) and solve for the speed v of the putty as it leaves the wheel. (f) If the mass of the putty is m, what is the magnitude of the force that held it to the wheel before it was released?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results Suppose two children are using a uniform seesaw that is 3.00 m long and has its center of mass over the pivot. The first child has a mass of 30.0 kg and sits 1.40 m from the pivot. (a) Calculate where the second 18.0 kg child must sit to balance the seesaw. (b) What is unreasonable about the result? (c) Which premise is unreasonable, or which premises are inconsistent?arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider the work done by a spinning skater pulling her arms in to increase her rate of spin. Construct a problem in which you calculate the work done with a "force multiplied by distance" calculation and compare it to the skater's increase in kinetic energy.arrow_forward
