- Nearly all conventional piston engines have flywheels on them to smooth out engine vibrations caused by the thrust of individual piston firings. Why does the flywheel have this effect?arrow_forwardCasting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute.

- You have been hired as an expert witness in a case involving an injury in a factory. The attorney who hired you represents the injured worker. The worker was told to lift one end of a long, heavy crate that was lying horizontally on the floor and tilt it up so that it is standing on end. He began lifting the end of the crate, always applying a force that was perpendicular to the top of the crate. As the end of the crate got higher, at a certain angle, the bottom of the crate slipped on the floor, and the worker, in trying to recover, stepped forward and the crate landed on his foot, injuring it badly. As part of your investigation, you go to the factory and measure the coefficient of static friction between a crate and the smooth concrete floor. You find it to be 0.340. Prepare an argument for the attorney showing that it was impossible to lift the crate in the manner described without it slipping on the floor.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider a method for measuring the mass of a person's arm in anatomical studies. The subject lies on her back, extends her relaxed arm to the side and two scales are placed below the arm. One is placed under the elbow and the other under the back of her hand. Construct a problem in which you calculate the mass of the arm and find its center of mass based on the scale readings and the distances of the scales from the shoulder joint. You must include a free body diagram of the arm to direct the analysis. Consider changing the position of the scale under the hand to provide more information, if needed. You may wish to consult references to obtain reasonable mass values.arrow_forwardA ball slides up a frictionless ramp. It is then rolled without slipping and with the same initial velocity up another frictionless ramp (with the same slope angle). In which case does it reach a greater height, and why?arrow_forward
- If you lower the window on a car while moving, an empty plastic bag can sometimes fly out the window. Why does this happen?arrow_forwardConceptual Example 7 provides useful background for this problem. Workershave loaded a delivery truck in such a way that its center ogravity is only slightly forward of the rear axle, as shown in the drawing.The mass of the truck and its contents is 7460 kg. Find the magnitudes of the forces exerted by the ground on (a) the front wheels and (b) the rear wheels of the truck.arrow_forwardMichael Jordan has a portable basketball hoop in his driveway. He has set the basket at 8 ft (2.4 m) high so he can practice dunking the ball (he’s a bit older now, so he can’t quite jump “Air” Jordan style). He slams the ball through the hoop and then hangs on to the rim. This exerts a downward force of 600 N on the front of the rim. The front of the rim is 1.1 m in front of the front edge of the portable hoop’s base. The mass of the whole portable basketball hoop is 70 kg. The center of gravity of the portable hoop is 1.0 m behind the front edge of the base. How much torque is produced around the front of the hoop base by the 600 N force Air Jordan exerts on the front of the rim? How much torque is needed to tip the hoop? What is the largest vertical force that can be exerted on the front edge of the rim before the portable hoop begins to tip?arrow_forward

One is at the end of the board and the other is 3.55 m away. A 75-kg person is standing on the board at such a location that the pillar at the end (pillar #1) of the board exerts a 770-N force downward. Determine the following. a)distance the person is standing from the end pillar (pillar #1) b)arrow_forwardYou are driving behind a pickup truck, going at the same speed as the truck. A very heavy crate tips from the side of the truck and falls to the road. Ignoring air resistance, will your car hit the crate before the crate hits the road if you neither swerve nor brake?
