Concept explainers
Suppose that two bicycles have equal overall mass, but one has thin lightweight tires while the other has heavier tires made of the same material. Why is the bicycle with thin tires easier to accelerate?
a. Thin tires have less area of contact with the road.
b. With thin tires, less mass is distributed at the rims.
c. With thin tires, you don’t have to raise the large mass of the tire at the bottom to the top.

- (a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850m from the hinges. What torque are you exerting relative to the hinges? (b) Does it matter if you push at the same height as the hinges?arrow_forward(a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850 m from the hinges. What torque are you exerting relative to the hinges? (b) Does it matter if you push at the same height as the hinges? There is only one pair of hinges.arrow_forwardFigure P10.82 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. Figure P10.82arrow_forward
- (a) Is it possible to calculate the torque acting on a rigid object without specifying an origin? (b) Is the torque independent of the location of the origin?arrow_forwardBIO The arm in Figure P10.35 weighs 41.5 N. The gravitational force on the arm acts through point A. Determine the magnitudes of the tension force F1 in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown. Figure P10.35arrow_forwardTorque and the Two Conditions for Equilibrium 17. The arm in Figure P8.17 weighs 41.5 N. The force of gravity acting on the arm acts through point A. Determine the magnitudes of the tension force Ft, in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown.

- A plank with a mass M = 6.00 kg rests on top of two identical, solid, cylindrical rollers that have R = 5.00 cm and m = 2.00 kg (Fig. P10.87). The plank is pulled by a constant horizontal force F of magnitude 6.00 N applied to the end of the plank and perpendicular to the axes of the cylinders (which are parallel). The cylinders roll without slipping on a Hat surface. There is also no slipping between the cylinders and the plank. (a) Find the initial acceleration of the plank at the moment the rollers are equidistant from the ends of the plank. (b) Find the acceleration of the rollers at this moment. (c) What friction forces are acting at this moment?arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure OQ10.7, a cord is wrapped onto a cylindrical reel mounted on a fixed, friction less, horizontal axle. When does the reel have a greater magnitude of angular acceleration? (a) When the cord is pulled down with a constant force of 50 N. (b) When an object of weight 50 X is hung from the cord and released, (c) The angular accelerations in parts (a) and (b) are equal, (d) It is impossible to determine.arrow_forward(a) Give an example in which the net force acting on an object is zero and yet the net torque is nonzero, (h) (five an example in which the net torque acting on an object is zero and yet the net force is nonzero.arrow_forward
- Figure CQ10.15 shows a side view of a childs tricycle with rubber tires on a horizontal concrete sidewalk. If a string were attached to the upper pedal on the far side and pulled forward horizontally, the tricycle would start to roll forward. (a) Instead, assume a siring is attached to the lower pedal on the near side and pulled forward horizontally as shown by A. Will the tricycle start to roll? If so, which way? Answer the same questions if (b) the string is pulled forward and upward as shown by B, (c) if the string is pulled straight down as shown by C, and (d) if the string is pulled forward and downward as shown by D. (e) What If? Suppose the string is instead attached to the rim of the front wheel and pulled upward and backward as shown by E. Which way does the tricycle roll? (f) Explain a pattern of reasoning, based on the figure, that makes it easy to answer questions such as these. What physical quantity must you evaluate? Figure CQ10.15arrow_forwardA rope of negligible mass is wrapped around a 225 kg solid cylinder of radius 0.400 m. The cylinder is suspended several meters off the ground with its axis oriented horizontally, and turns on that axis without friction, (a) If a 75.0-kg man takes hold of the free end of the rope and falls under the force of gravity, what is his acceleration? (b) What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder? (c) if the mass of the rope were not neglected, what would happen to the angular acceleration of the cylinder as the man falls?arrow_forward(a) Calculate the angular momentum of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. (b) Compare this angular momentum with the angular momentum of Earth on its axis.arrow_forward
