& A string wraps around a 6.0-kg wheel of radius 0.20 m. The wheel is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axle at the top of an inclined plane tilted 37**#x00B0; below the horizontal The free end of the string is attached to a 2.0-kg block that slides down the incline without friction. The block's acceleration while sliding down the incline is
(a) Draw separate force diagrams for the wheel and for the block. (b) Apply Newton's second law (either the translational form or the rotational form) for the wheel and for the block. (c) Determine the rotational inertia for the wheel about its axis of rotation.

- A childs toy consists of a small wedge that has an acute angle (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 )1/2. Figure P6.28arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? A mischievous child goes to an amusement park with his family. On one ride, after a severe scolding from his mother, he slips out of his seat and climbs to the top of the rides structure, which is shaped like a cone with its axis vertical and its sloped sides making an angle of = 20.0 with the horizontal as shown in Figure P6.32. This part of the structure rotates about the vertical central axis when the ride operates. The child sits on the sloped surface at a point d = 5.32 m down the sloped side from the center of the cone and pouts. The coefficient of static friction between the boy and the cone is 0.700. The ride operator does not notice that the child has slipped away from his seat and so continues to operate the ride. As a result, the sitting, pouting boy rotates in a circular path at a speed of 3.75 m/s. Figure P6.32arrow_forwardAn athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev/s. The length of the pedal arms is 30 cm. What is the power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete?arrow_forward
- Figure P12.67 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all surfaces is 0.500. The force P is increased in magnitude until the cylinder begins to rotate. In terms of Fg find the maximum force magnitude P that can be applied without causing the cylinder to rotate. Suggestion: Show that both friction forces will be at their maximum values when the cylinder is on the verge of slipping.arrow_forwardA cyclist rides a bicycle with a wheel radius of 0.500 m across campus. A piece of plastic on the front rim makes a clicking sound every time it passes through the fork. If the cyclist counts 320 clicks between her apartment and the cafeteria, how far has she traveled? (a) 0.50 km (b) 0.80 km (c) 1.0 km (d) 1.5 km (e) 1.8 kmarrow_forwardA bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheels angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant).

The wheel has a turning radius of 0.8 m2 and a radius of 0.4 m ... additionally, you don't know which planet you are on, so you don't know gravity ... neither the mass of the wheel.

- A rod 2m long rotates in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. At each of the rod is fastened a cord 1.200m long. Each cord supports a bob of weight W. Find the speed of rotation n (in rpm) to incline each cord at 320 with the verticalarrow_forwardAn object of mass M = 13.0 kg is attached to a cord that is wrapped around a wheel of radius r = 10.5 cm (see figure). The acceleration of the object down the frictionless incline is measured to be a = 2.00 m/s2 and the incline makes an angle ? = 37.0° with the horizontal. Assume the axle of the wheel to be frictionless.arrow_forward- A person pushing a uniformly-loaded 44.2 kg wheelbarrow of length L with pushing force P is attempting to get it over a step.
