Question
Steiner’s theorem and gyration radius.
A metal tank wheel in the shape of a disc of radius R is lightened by cutting out six identical through- holes in the shape of discs, whose axes are parallel to the wheel’s axis of rotation, and whose radii are all r. The holes’ centers are positioned at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side A, with the wheel’s axis passing through the center of the hexagon.
a) By what percentage is the wheel lightened, as a result of the cutouts, for r=R/5?

- 1. 2. The figure shows multiple solid disks with uniform mass distribution that are spinning about its center. The mass of the disks are the same, but they have different radii, as shown. Rank the disks by the amount of energy needed to spin the disk so that the outer edge of the disk has linear velocity v, from greatest to least. Explain your reasoning. A B C Two students are discussing their previous answer. Student 1: I ranked the largest disk as the greatest amount of energy needed because it has the greatest moment of inertia. Student 2: But, I think we need to also include the angular velocity. Since w=v/r, the angular velocity is smaller for the larger disk and I think all three require the same amount of energy. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of these students? Briefly explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardA solid ball of radius r begins to roll down a hemisphere with radius R.

The end can be thought of as a uniform flat board of mass m that has been cut to form a quartic function given by y = x*, so that the length from the trough (i.e., the y 0 end of the function) to the tip is y = H. To simplify this a little, assume that the stick is massless. This paddle is stood vertically upward on the stick end and attached to a hinge on the floor so that it is free to rotate in the in/out of the page direction. When it is standing straight up that is an unstable equilibrium. A very small infinitesimal push is given to get the paddle moving and it swings downward under gravity (acceleration g). (a) When the paddle is standing vertically upward, what is the position of the center of mass of the paddle? (b) What is the moment of inertia of the paddle for rotations in/out of the page about an axis through the center of mass? (c) What is the angular velocity of the paddle just before…arrow_forwardI got Part A really well in finding the torque but I am struggling to find the angle theta in part B.arrow_forward
