A cue ball (a uniform solid sphere of mass mm and radius R is at rest on a level pool table. Using a pool cue, you give the ball a sharp, horizontal hit of magnitude F at a height hh above the center of the ball. The force of the hit is much greater than the friction force ff that the table surface exerts on the ball. The hit lasts for a short time Δt.
For what value of hh will the ball roll without slipping?
If you hit the ball dead center (h = 0), the ball will slide across the table for a while, but eventually, it will roll without slipping.
Draw a free-body diagram for the ball during the hit for the situation. Assume friction force does not act on the ball during the hit throughout this problem.

- A solid cylinder is mounted above the ground with its axis of rotation oriented horizontally. A rope is wound around the cylinder and its free end is attached to a block of mass 55.0 kg that rests on a platform. The cylinder has a mass of 255 kg and a radius of 0.490 m. Assume that the cylinder can rotate about its axis without any friction and the rope is of negligible mass. The platform is suddenly removed from under the block. The block falls down toward the ground and as it does so, it causes the rope to unwind and the cylinder to rotate. (a) What is the angular acceleration, in rad/s², of the cylinder? rad/s2 (b) How many revolutions does the cylinder make in 5 s? rev (c) How much of the rope, in meters, unwinds in this time interval?arrow_forwardThe uniform disk of mass m is rotating with an angular velocity of v0 when it is placed on the floor.

The string has a length of 63 cm and is wrapped around the top at a place where its radius is 2.0 cm. The thickness of the string is negligible. The top is initially at rest. Someone pulls the free end of the string, thereby unwinding it and giving the top an angular acceleration of +14 rad/s2.
