A particle of mass m1 is attached at one end of the rod, and a mass m2 is at the opposite end, where m1 m2.

- 9.93 ●● BIO The Kinetic Energy of Walking. If a person of mass M simply moved forward with speed V, his kinetic energy would be MV². However, in addition to possessing a forward motion, vari- ous parts of his body (such as the arms and legs) undergo rotation. Therefore, his total kinetic energy is the sum of the energy from his forward motion plus the rotational kinetic energy of his arms and legs. The purpose of this problem is to see how much this rotational motion contributes to the person's kinetic energy. Biomedical meas- urements show that the arms and hands together typically make up 13% of a person's mass, while the legs and feet together account for 37%. For a rough (but reasonable) calculation, we can model the arms and legs as thin uniform bars pivoting about the shoulder and hip, respectively. In a brisk walk, the arms and legs each move through an angle of about ±30° (a total of 60°) from the vertical in approximately 1 second. We shall assume that they are held straight,…arrow_forwardThe rigid body shown in the figure consists of three particles connected by massless rods.

- Question 8. A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provide a means for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric cars. The gasoline burned in a 414-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 1.32 × 109 J of energy. How fast would a 44.1-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.304 m have to rotate to store this much energy? Give your answer in rev/min. Ans: 343712.61 rev/minarrow_forwardA cord is wrapped around a pulley that is shaped like a disk of mass mand radius r. The cord's free end is connected to a block of mass M. The block starts from rest and then slides down an incline that makes an angle 0 with the horizontal as shown in Figure P10.48. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and incline is u. (a) Use energy methods to show that the block's speed as a function of position d down the incline is 4Mgd(sin 0 – µ cos 0) т+ 2M (b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block in terms of µ, m, M, g, and 0. m M Figure P10.48arrow_forwardA figure skater on ice with arms extended, spins at a rate of 2.5 rev/s.

At point 1 the total energy is 250 [J] and point 2 the total energy is 160 [J]. If the speeds at point 1 and point 2 are 3 [rad/s] and 4 [rad/s], respectively, how much work is done by the non-conservative forces in this system?arrow_forwardA flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provide a means for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric cars. The gasoline burned in a 324-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 1.01 x 10° J of energy. How fast would a 25.4-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.500 m have to rotate to store this much energy? Give your answer in rev/min.

The assembly is upright, but we nudge it so that it rotates around a horizontal axis in the plane of the rod and hoop, through the lower end of the rod. Assuming that the energy given to the assembly in the nudge is negligible, what is the assembly's angular speed about the rotation axis when it passes through the upside-down (inverted) orientation?
