Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in the figure below. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting.
Suppose that a copper sleeve of inner radius 1.75 cm and outer radius 1.85 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 137g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute.

- *Chapter 11, Problem 13 Nonuniform ball. In the figure, a ball of mass M and radius R rolls smoothly from rest down a ramp and onto a circular loop of radius 0.47 m. The initial height of the ball is h = 0.34 m. At the loop bottom, the magnitude of the normal force on the ball is 1.92Mg. The ball consists of an outer spherical shell (of a certain uniform density) that is glued to a central sphere (of a different uniform density). The rotational inertia of the ball can be expressed in the general form I = BMR², but B is not 0.4 as it is for a ball of uniform density. Determine B. the tolerance is +/-2%arrow_forwardModern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough that airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Boeing 747, which can carry 400 passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, 70.7 m long, 6.5 m wide, and 2.5 mm thick (see sketch at right). The fuselage of an airplane Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density 7.87 g/cm³) instead of aluminum (density 2.70 g/cm³), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of 79 kg. We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel. 0 Xarrow_forwardHere is a device that can rotate freely with little friction with the axle. The radius is 0.5 m, and each of the eight balls has a mass of 0.3 kg. The device is initially not rotating. A piece of clay falls and sticks to one of the balls as shown in the figure. The mass of the clay is 0.066 kg and its speed just before the collision is 8 m/s. * (a) Which of the following statements are true, for angular momentum relative to the the axle of the wheel? Just before the collision ₁ = 0.5/√√2 = 0.5 cos(45°) (for the clay). The angular momentum of the wheel is the same before and after the collision. The angular momentum of the wheel is the sum of the angular momenta of all eight balls. The angular momentum of the falling clay is zero because the clay is moving in a straight line. Just before the collision the angular momentum of the wheel is 0. The angular momentum of the wheel + clay after the collision is equal to the initial angular momentum of the clay.
