Two window washers. Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00-m-long, 345-N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 750 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end, as shown in Figure P8.82. Two meters from the left end is the 500-N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right end and weighs 1 000 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational and

- Find the net torque on the wheel in Figure P10.23 about the axle through O, taking a = 10.0 cm and b = 25.0 cm. Figure P10.23arrow_forwardIf the system shown in Figure P8.37 is set in rotation about each of the axes mentioned in Problem 37, find the torque that will produce an angular acceleration of 1.50 rad/s2 in each case.

At the instant the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position, find the magnitude of (a) the rods angular acceleration, (b) the tangential acceleration of the rods center of mass, and (c) the tangential acceleration of the rods free end.

- A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding two dumbbells, each of mass 3.00 kg (Fig. P10.56). When his arms are extended horizontally (Fig. P10.56a), the dumbbells are 1.00 m from the axis of rotation and the student rotates with an angular speed of 0.750 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.00 kg m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the dumbbells inward horizontally to a position 0.300 m from the rotation axis (Fig. P10.56b). (a) Find the new angular speed of the student. (b) Find the kinetic energy of the rotating system before and after he pulls the dumbbells inward. Figure P10.56arrow_forwardA long, uniform rod of length L and mass M is pivoted about a frictionless, horizontal pin through one end. The rod is released from rest in a vertical position as shown in Figure P10.65. At the instant the rod is horizontal, find (a) its angular speed, (b) the magnitude of its angular acceleration, (c) the x and y components of the acceleration of its center of mass, and (d) the components of the reaction force at the pivot. Figure P10.65arrow_forwardA sleeping area for a long space voyage consists of two cabins each connected by a cable to a central hub as shown in Figure P13.30. The cabins are set spinning around the hub axis, which is connected to the rest of the spacecraft to generate artificial gravity in the cabins. A space traveler lies in a bed parallel to the outer wall as shown in Figure P13.30. (a) With r = 10.0 m, what would the angular speed of the 60.0 kg traveler need to be if he is to experience half his normal Earth weight? (b) If the astronaut stands up perpendicular to the bed, without holding on to anything with his hands, will his head be moving at a faster, a slower, or the same tangential speed as his feet? Why? (c) Why is the action in part (b) dangerous? Figure P13.30arrow_forward
- The fishing pole in Figure P10.22 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=100N at an angle 37.0 below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 m from the anglers hands. Figure P10.22arrow_forwardA rigid, massless rod has three particles with equal masses attached to it as shown in Figure P8.59. The rod is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a frictionless axle perpendicular to the rod through the point P and is released from rest in the horizontal position at t = 0. Assuming m and d are known, find (a) the moment of inertia of the system (rod plus particles) about the pivot, (b) the torque acting on the system at t = 0, (c) the angular acceleration of the system at t = 0, (d) the linear acceleration of the particle labeled 3 at t = 0, (e) the maximum kinetic energy of the system, (0 the maximum angular speed reached by the rod, (g) the maximum angular momentum of the system, and (h) the maximum translational speed reached by the particle labeled 2.arrow_forwardA baseball catcher extends his arm straight up to catch a fast ball with a speed of 40 m/s. The baseball is 0.145 kg and the catcher’s arm length is 0.5 m and mass 4.0 kg. (a) What is the angular velocity of the arm immediately after catching the ball as measured from the arm socket? (b) What is the torque applied if the catcher stops the rotation of his arm 0.3 s after catching the ball?arrow_forward

Each rod has mass 0.850 kg and is 0.750 m long, (a) Find the ceiling fans moment of inertia about a vertical axis through the disks center, (b) Friction exerts a constant torque of magnitude 0.115 N m on the fan as it rotates. Find the magnitude of the constant torque provided by the fans motor if the fan starts from rest and takes 15.0 s and 18.5 full revolutions to reach its maximum speed.

Calculate the total rotational kinetic energy of the two hands about the axis of rotation. (You may model the hands as long, thin rods rotated about one end. Assume the hour and minute hands are rotating at a constant rate of one revolution per 12 hours and 60 minutes, respectively.) Figure P10.17 Problems 17, 49, and 66.arrow_forward
