Chapter 8, Problem 62GP
In the hammer throw, an athlete spins a heavy mass in a circle at the end of a cable before releasing it for distance. For male athletes, the “hammer” is a mass of 7.3 kg at the end of a 1.2 m cable, which is typically a 3.0-mm-diameter steel cable. A world-class thrower can get the hammer up to a speed of 29 m/s. If an athlete swings the mass in a horizontal circle centered on the handle he uses to hold the cable
a. What is the tension in the cable?
b. How much does the cable stretch?

A yo-yo-shaped device mounted on a horizontal frictionless axis is used to lift a 37 kg box as shown in the figure. The outer radius R of the device is 1.0 m, and the radius r of the hub is 0.33 m. When a constant horizontal force F→app of magnitude 160 N is applied to a rope wrapped around the outside of the device, the box, which is suspended from a rope wrapped around the hub, has an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.98 m/s2. What is the rotational inertia of the device about its axis of rotation?
