Concept explainers

Angular speed, acceleration and displacement

Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular velocity with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction. So, it is a vector quantity.

Angular Position

Before diving into angular position, one should understand the basics of position and its importance along with usage in day-to-day life. When one talks of position, it’s always relative with respect to some other object. For example, position of earth with respect to sun, position of school with respect to house, etc. Angular position is the rotational analogue of linear position.

An automobile engine can produce 200Nm of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0 of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0-kg disk that has a 0.180-m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.
A solid, uniform disk of radius 0.250 m and mass 55.0 kg rolls down a ramp of length 4.50 m that makes an angle of 15.0 with the horizontal. The disk starts from rest from the top of the ramp. Find (a) the speed of the disks center of mass when it reaches the bottom of the ramp and (b) the angular speed of the disk at the bottom of the ramp.

A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheels angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant). Figure P7.8 Problems 8 and 69.

Stand with your heels and back against a wall and try to bend over and touch your toes. You’ll find that you have to stand away from the wall to do so without toppling over. Compare the minimum distance of your heels from the wall with the distance for a friend of the opposite sex. Who can touch their toes with their heels nearer to the wall: men or women? On the average and in proportion to height, which sex has the lower center of gravity?

Josh has just raised a 2.5 kg bucket of water using a well’s winch when he accidentally lets go of the handle. The winch consists of a rope wrapped around a 3.0 kg, 4.0-cm-diameter cylinder, which rotates on an axle through the center. The bucket is released from rest 4.0 m above the water level of the well. How long does it take to reach the water?
A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly used to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm-diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum torque this turbine applies on the pivot.
