Question
4. Massless string is tied to a hanging weight and then run over a frictionless pulley in the
shape of a disk of radius R. The string is then wrapped several times around the largest
circumference of a solid sphere of radius R that can rotate frictionlessly about an axis
through its center. The axes of rotation for both objects are into the page. The disk and
sphere both have constant density. The hanging weight is released from rest. The mass of
the hanging weight is m. The mass of the sphere is 3m and the mass of the disk is 2m.
a. Determine an expression for the speed of the weight after it has dropped a height h.
b. What percent of the system's initial potential energy goes into rotating the disk, what
percent goes into the rotating the sphere and what percent goes into the falling weight?
Partial Answer: 37.5% for the sphere.
