Question
A system consists of four boxes modeled as particles connected by very lightweight, stiff rods (see figure below). The system rotates around the z axis, which points out of the page. Each particle has a mass of 7.00 kg. The distances from the z axis to each particle are r1 = 48.0 cm, r2 = 24.0 cm, r3 = 19.0 cm, and r4 = 38.0 cm. Find the rotational inertia of the system around the z axis.

Coyote wants to flatten the Road Runner. Wile E. puts food at a pre-determined distance from the edge of a cliff. While the Road Runner eats the food, Wile E. pushes a log down the hill. It rolls without slipping. The radius of the log is 0.3 m. The mass of the log is 80 kg. The rotational inertia of the log is given by I = ½ MR2 . The translational speed of the log just before it leaves the cliff horizontally is 16 m/s. The Road Runner is 10 m below the cliff. If the log is to successfully hit the Road Runner, the food must be place at a precise location from the base of the cliff which you will determine. a. Use only energy considerations and the fact that the log does not slip as it rolls to determine the height it started from, h, before it went over the cliff. b. Determine how far from the edge of the cliff the food needs to be placed so the log lands on the Road Runner. The rotating motion of the log in the air does not affect the motion of the log once it is in the air.…arrow_forwardThe uniform solid block in the figure has mass 39.8 kg and edge lengths a = 0.902 m, b = 1.67 m, and c = 0.141 m.
