Can you please help me solve the attached problem?
The Moment of Inertia of a system of particles is the sum of the product of the mass and the square of the distance between the particles and the axis of the rotation. If are the masses of particles and be the distance between them and the axis of rotation. Then the moment of inertia of the system of particles is given by
Let a cylinder of mass M and radius R be rolling down an inclined plane. The external forces acting on the cylinder are the weight of the cylinder in the downward direction, the normal reaction force acting perpendicular to the surface of the inclined plane, and the frictional force acting in the upward and parallel to the inclined plane. The free body diagram of the system is
Net force in the downward direction
If is the linear acceleration of the cylinder then by Newton's second law of motion
Torque due to the frictional force
Again we know that where is the angular acceleration. Then we have
Therefore the force equation is
Now for a cylinder rolling about an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to its cross-section is
a. Therefore the acceleration of the cylinder is
For the given problem
b. The frictional force is given by
The static friction force . Now the normal reaction force is
The condition for rolling without slipping is
This gives
The maximum angle at which the body starts slipping can be found using

- Please solve fast! thank youarrow_forwardHelium is the second element on the periodic table, meaning it contains two protons in its nucleus. Normally, helium contains two electrons that orbit the nucleus, however you can ionize the helium, which is stripping an electron from the atom. With 2 protons in the nucleus of the atom, what will be the centripetal acceleration of the electron in an ionized helium atom? ( the electron or it’s at a radius of 29.3 x 10^-12 m around the nucleus)arrow_forwardIn the figure below, determine the point (other than infinity) at which the electric field is zero.

Up Out of the page Left Down Right Into the page ОООО ООarrow_forwardIn the early 1900s, scientists modelled the hydrogen atom as an electron orbiting a proton. Like when we look at the Earth and Sun, we can consider the proton to be stationary, and the electron to be in orbit around the proton in a perfect circle. Unlike the Earth and Sun, the force responsible for the circular motion of the electron is the attractive electric force between the proton and electron. All other forces can be ignored. Experiments showed that the electron's orbital radius was 5.29x10^-11m. a) Calculate the speed of the electron in its orbit. b) Show that the circumference of the electron's orbit (2 times pi times radius) is about equal to the electron's De Broglie wavelength at that speed. Electron: mass = 9.11x10^-31kg, charge = -1.60x10^-19C. Proton: mass = 1.67x10^-27kg, charge = +1.60x10^-19C. Coulomb's constant: k = 9.00x10^9 Nm^2/C^2 Planck's constant: h = 6.63x10^-34 Jsarrow_forward
- A charged conducting sphere with capacitance, C = 26.7 pF, produces an electric field that points radially outward. At a distance, d = 61.2 cm, from the center of the sphere, the strength of the electric field is E = 71.3 kV/m. (a) What is the radius of the charged sphere?

Question 3 options: North East South Westarrow_forwardIf you can break down this problem as much as you can i would really appreciate it. I have the solution to the problem given to me. I just dont know how to get to the end point. I also know that part a exibits no electric force so we dont have to go through that. Just part b.arrow_forward
