Note that the force exerted by the wall is horizontal.arrow_forwardExplain why stars spin faster when they collapse.arrow_forwardA person balances a meterstick in a horizontal position on the extended index fingers of her right and left hands.

- In Example 11.8, we investigated an elastic collision between a disk and a stick lying on a frictionless surface. Suppose everything is the same as in the example except that the collision is perfectly inelastic so that the disk adheres to the stick at the endpoint at which it strikes. Find (a) the speed of the center of mass of the system and (b) the angular speed of the system after the collision.arrow_forwardIn analyzing the equilibrium of a flat, rigid object, you are about to choose an axis about which you will calculate torques. Which of the following describes the choice you should make? (a) The axis should pass through the objects center of mass. (b) The axis should pass through one end of the object. (c) The axis should be either the x axis or the y axis. (d) The axis should pass through any point within the object. (e) Any axis within or outside the object can be chosen.arrow_forwardAssume a single 300-N force is exerted on a bicycle frame as shown in Figure OQ10.5. Consider the torque produced by this force about axes perpendicular to the plane of the paper and through each of the points A through E, where E is the center of mass of the frame. Rank the torques A, B, C, D, and E from largest to smallest, noting that zero is greater than a negative quantity. If two torques are equal, note their equality in your ranking.

- As shown in Figure 10.13 on page 306, toppling chimneys often break apart in midfall because the mortar between the bricks cannot withstand much shear stress. As the chimney begins to fall, shear forces must act on the topmost sections to accelerate them tangentially so that they can keep up with the rotation of the lower part of the stack. For simplicity, let us model the chimney as a uniform rod of length pivoted at the lower end. The rod starts at rest in a vertical position (with the frictionless pivot at the bottom) and falls over under the influence of gravity. What fraction of the length of the rod has a tangential acceleration greater than g sin , where is the angle the chimney makes with the vertical axis?arrow_forwardCHECK and THINK Our results give us a way to think about how a person might steer a unicycle. Consider the person, the unicycle, and the Earth as the system. No net torque acts on the system. Ignoring the motion of the Earth, Figure 13.37A shows the initial angular momentum of the system with the unicycle in motion: Li=Ltire. The person leans to his left so that the angular momentum of the tire rotates downward. The total angular momentum must still point to the right (Fig. 13.37B), so the angular momentum of the person must be upward to compensate. The persons angular velocity therefore points upward (parallel to his own angular momentum), and he is able to make a turn. Another way to analyze this situation is to exclude the Earth from the system and calculate the torque done by gravity. This approach is left as a homework problem. FIGURE 13.37 C Reanalyze the unicycles motion in Example 13.15 (page 382). This time, leave the Earth out of the system and explain how the torque exerted by gravity causes the unicycle to turn. Your explanation should involve a diagram.arrow_forwardConsider the downhill race in Example 13.9 (page 372).
