Question
Consider a pendulum with a 2.9 kg mass hanging from a light string. If the pendulum is 0.8 m long, and is at an angle of 25.7 deg. to the right of the vertical. What is the net torque (so magnitude and direction) acting on the pendulum at this moment about the pivot point? Assume that nothing but the string is touching the mass.

Two forces, both parallel to the tabletop, are applied to the stick in such a way that the net torque is zero. The first force has a magnitude of 2.00 N and is applied perpendicular to the length of the stick at the free end. The second force has a magnitude of 6.00 N and acts at a 36.1o angle with respect to the length of the stick. Where along the stick is the 6.00-N force applied? Express this distance with respect to the end of the stick that is pinned.arrow_forwardA uniform, solid sphere of radius 6.00 cm and mass 4.50 kg starts with a purely translational speed of 2.50 m/s at the top of an inclined plane. The surface of the incline is 2.00 m long, and is tilted at an angle of 32.0∘ with respect to the horizontal. Assuming the sphere rolls without slipping down the incline, calculate the sphere's final translational speed v2 at the bottom of the ramp. v2= m/sarrow_forward
- When you hold an ball by only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.80 kg. The biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.50 cm from the elbow, and it holds a 44.5 N (about 10 lbs) ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 35.0 cm from the elbow. What is the magnitude of the torque about the elbow by the ball, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardBeam 1 with block 2 hanging from it is supported as shown. The mass of block 2 is m2=150 kg, theta=55∘, and x=7 m. You choose the lower left end of the beam as the axis of rotation, and you call clockwise the positive torque direction. Calculate the torque due to the weight of block 2 on the block+beam system.arrow_forwardA 17.0-m length of hose is wound around a reel, which is initially at rest. The moment of inertia of the reel is 0.490 kg-m², and its radius is 0.150 m. When turning, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 3.20 N-m on the reel. If the hose is pulled so that the tension in it remains a constant 26.0 N, how long does it take to completely unwind the hose from the reel? Neglect the mass and the thickness of the hose, and assume that the hose unwinds without slipping.arrow_forward
- A uniform disk of radius 0.507 m and unknown mass is constrained to rotate about a perpendicular axis through its center. A ring with the same mass as the disk is attached around the disk's rim. A tangential force of 0.243 N applied at the rim causes an angular acceleration of 0.117 rad/s^2. Find the mass of the disk.arrow_forwardA uniform 3.7-kg cylinder can rotate about an axis through its center at O. The forces applied are: F1 = 4.5 N, F2 = 7.1 N, F3 = 5.8 N, and F4 = 3.8 N.

Find the magnitude and direction (+: counterclockwise; -: clockwise) of the angular acceleration of the cylinder.arrow_forwardA uniform disc of mass 3.0 kg and radius 25 cm is mounted on a fixed horizontal axle.

A person pulls the string vertically upward, so the cylinder’s center of gravity does not move and is suspended in midair for 3 second.
