The figure shows an arrangement in which four disks are suspended by cords. The longer, top cord loops over a frictionless pulley and pulls with a force of magnitude 86.2 N on the wall to which it is attached. The tensions in the shorter cords are T₁ = 60.1 N, T₂ = 33.1 N, and T3 = 8.21 N. What are the masses of (a) disk A, (b) disk B, (c) disk C, and (d) disk D? T₂

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 10.0m and makes one revolution in 8.00 seconds. A girl weighing 321 N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is the force exerted on her by the bench as she passes through the lowest point of her motion?
You are to design a rotating cylindrical axle to lift 7.7-N buckets of cement from the ground to a rooftop 3.8 m above the ground. The buckets will be attached to a hook on the free end of a cable that wraps around the rim of the axle; as the axle turns, the buckets will rise. If instead the axle must give the buckets an upward acceleration of 6.5 m/s? with a steady velocity of 3.2 cm/s turning at 3.1 rpm, what should the angular acceleration (rad/s?) of the axle be?
A horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.885 rad/s. You, with a mass of 73.7 kg, walk clockwise around the platform along its edge at the speed of 1.17 m/s with respect to the platform. Your 20.3 kg poodle also walks clockwise around the platform, but along a circle at half the platform's radius and at half your linear speed with respect to the platform. Your 17.5 kg mutt, on the other hand, sits still on the platform at a position that is 3/4 of the platform's radius from the center. Model the platform as a uniform disk with mass 91.9 kg and radius 1.99 m. Calculate the total angular momentum of the system. total angular momentum: kg · m2/s
A uniform thin rod of mass m = 1.5 kg and length L = 1.2 m can rotate about an axle through its center. Four forces are acting on it as shown in the figure. Their magnitudes are F1 = 8.5 N, F2 = 1.5 N, F3 = 11.5 N and F4 = 16 N. F2 acts a distance d = 0.11 m from the center of mass. a. Calculate the magnitude τ4 of the torque due to force F4 in newton meters. b. Calculate the angular acceleration α of the thin rod about its center of mass in radians per square second. Let the counter-clockwise direction be positive.
A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.75 m/s. The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. From these data, determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and track. 0.56 You appear to have forgotten that the static force of friction is also responsible for the tangential acceleration of the car.
6.3 A (solid) spool of mass M and radius R is supported by an axis about which it can rotate freely. A piece of thread is rolled around the spool, and a mass m = (where B is some positive number) tied to the end of the thread. What will be the mass m's speed v after it has descended a distance h, starting from rest? Express your result in terms of g, h and B. = BM M
What? This problem again? Not exactly. A block with mass m,ị = 3.00 kg sits on a horizontal table and is attached to a rope. The rope then passes over a MASSIVE pulley this time and is attached to a block of mass m2 = 2.00 kg, which hangs vertically (see picture). The coefficient of kinetic friction of the interface between the table and m, is 0.1. You may assume the pulley section is a disk with a mass of 2 kg. We will keep the pulley frictionless for brevity. Ideal disk pulley with mass Find the acceleration of the blocks using your choice of either Newton's Laws or the energy conservation method. Yes, I can actually read your minds from here; of 2 kg and the answer is no, you do not need the radius of the pulley.
A horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.827 rad/s. You, with a mass of 74.5 kg,walk clockwise around the platform along its edge at the speed of 1.13 m/s with respect to the platform. Your 20.5 kg poodle also walks clockwise around the platform, but along a circle at half the platform's radius and at half your linear speed with respect to the platform.

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 2.72 m/s, and an 82.0-kg person feels a 276-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of a chamber?
A certain amusement park ride consists of a large rotating cylinder of radius R = 3.15 m. As the cylinder spins, riders inside feel themselves pressed against the wall. If the cylinder rotates fast enough, the frictional force between the riders and the wall can be great enough to hold the riders in place as the floor drops out from under them. If the cylinder makes f 0.590 rotations/s, what is the magnitude of the normal force FN between a rider and the wall, expressed in terms of the rider's weight W? FN = W What is the minimum coefficient of static friction u, required between the rider and the wall in order for the rider to be held in place without sliding down? Hs 2
