- Multiple-Concept Example 10 reviews the approach and some of the concepts that are pertinent to this problem. The figure shows a model for the motion of the human forearm in throwing a dart. Because of the force M applied by the triceps muscle, the forearm can rotate about an axis at the elbow joint. Assume that the forearm has the dimensions shown in the figure and a moment of inertia of 0.062 kg-m? (including the effect of the dart) relative to the axis at the elbow. Assume also that the force M acts perpendicular to the forearm. Ignoring the effect of gravity and any frictional forces, determine the magnitude of the force M needed to give the dart a tangential speed of 4.5 m/s in 0.14 s, starting from rest. 0.28 m Axis at elbow joint 0.025 m Number i Unitsarrow_forwardA student holds a bike wheel and starts it spinning with an initial angular speed of 9.0rotations per second. The wheel is subject to some friction, so it gradually slows down. In the 10 s period following the inital spin, the bike wheel undergoes 70 complete rotations. Assuming the frictional torque remains constant, how much more time Δts will it take the bike wheel to come to a complete stop? The bike wheel has a mass of 0.625 kg and a radius of 0.315 m. If all the mass of the wheel is assumed to be located on the rim, find the magnitude of the frictional torque τf that was acting on the spinning wheel.arrow_forwardModern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of m = 5500 kg distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance r = 44 m from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of f = 15 rpm. Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.arrow_forward

Find the magnitude of the final angular speed after 7.0 seconds if the object is a thin spherical shell of 2.5 kg and radius 330 cm.arrow_forwardI need help.arrow_forwardTwo disks are initially spinning, one above the other on a small axle that provides a small, but non-negligible torque from friction, as shown in the figure below. Both disks have the same radius, R = 2.58 m. Disk 1 has a moment of inertia I1 = 9.8 kg⋅m2. Disk 2 has a moment of inertia I2 = 5 kg⋅ m2. Let vertically up be the z direction, such that counterclockwise rotation as viewed from above corresponds to positive values of the z-component. Disk 1 is initially spinning with a z-component of angular velocity ω1,z = 21 rad/s, and disk 2 is initially spinning with a z-component of angular velocity ω2,z = -15 rad/s. The z component of their common angular velcoity is 8.837 rad/s How much thermal energy is created in the process of disk 1 falling on disk 2 such that they reach a common final angular velocity? You do not need to worry about the gravitational potential energy because the initial separation of the disks is small. I get I need to use kinetic energy equations of 1/2*I*w2 but…arrow_forward
