The uniform thin rod in the figure below has mass M = 2.00 kg and length L = 3.25 m and is free to rotate on a frictionless pin. At the instant the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position, find the magnitude of the rod's angular acceleration, the tangential acceleration of the rod's center of mass, and the tangential acceleration of the rod's free end

The wheels of a wagon can be approximated as the combination of a thin outer hoop, of radius ?h=0.156 m and mass 5.08 kg , and two thin crossed rods of mass 7.37 kg each. A farmer would like to replace his wheels with uniform disks ?d=0.0651 m thick, made out of a material with a density of 5530 kg per cubic meter. If the new wheel is to have the same moment of inertia about its center as the old wheel about its center, what should the radius of the disk be?

A solid cylinder is mounted above the ground with its axis of rotation oriented horizontally. A rope is wound around the cylinder and its free end is attached to a block of mass 55.0 kg that rests on a platform. The cylinder has a mass of 255 kg and a radius of 0.490 m. Assume that the cylinder can rotate about its axis without any friction and the rope is of negligible mass. The platform is suddenly removed from under the block. The block falls down toward the ground and as it does so, it causes the rope to unwind and the cylinder to rotate. (a) What is the angular acceleration, in rad/s², of the cylinder? rad/s2 (b) How many revolutions does the cylinder make in 5 s? rev (c) How much of the rope, in meters, unwinds in this time interval?

Suppose you exert a tangential force of 450 N to the outer edge of a .5 m radius wooden wheel mounted on a frictionless axis at the center. The weight of the wheel is 45 kg. One can assume the wheel is a solid disk. The moment of inertia (I) for a solid disk rotating at the center is given by the formula : I= 1/2mass X (radius)^2 A) what torque is exerted on the wheel? B) how much angular acceleration the wheel will experience due to applied force ?

Two uniform, solid spheres (one has a mass M and a radius R and the other has a mass M and a radius Rb=2R are connected by a thin, uniform rod of length L=2R and mass M. Note that the figure may not be to scale. Find an expression for the moment of inertia I about the axis through the center of the rod. Write the expression in terms of M, R, and a numerical factor in fraction form.

During a concentric loading of the quadriceps muscle in the upper leg, an athlete extends his lower leg from a vertical position (see figure (a)) to a fully extended horizontal position (see figure (b)) at a constant angular speed of 45.0° per second. Two of the four quadriceps muscles, the vastis intermedius and the rectus femoris, terminate at the patellar tendon which is attached to the top of the tibia in the lower leg. The distance from the point of attachment of the patellar tendon to the rotation axis of the tibia relative to the femur is 4.20 cm in this athlete. A man on a leg curl machine is sitting with both legs bent such that the lower legs are vertical, as one would sit normally in a chair. b

A gymnast on the uneven parallel bars is at rest, tipped at a 45° angle from the vertical. The distance from her hands to her feet is 1.8 m. If we model her body as having a uniform cross section and assume that her center of gravity is midway between her hands and her feet, what is her initial angular acceleration?

The wheels of a wagon can be approximated as the combination of a thin outer hoop, of radius r = 0.156 m and mass 4.32 kg, and two thin crossed rods of mass 7.80 kg each. A farmer would like to replace his wheels with uniform disks = 0.0525 m thick, made out of a material with a density of 5990 kg per cubic meter. If the new wheel is to have the same ta %3D moment of inertia about its center as the old wheel about its center, what should the radius of the disk be? = PA rd

A disk having moment of inertia 94 kg · m2 is free to rotate without friction, starting from rest, about a fixed axis through its center. A tangential force whose magnitude can range from F = 0 to F = 50.0 N can be applied at any distance ranging from R = 0 to R = 3.00 m from the axis of rotation. (a) Find a pair of values F and R that cause the disk to complete 2.60 rev in 11.0 s. (Let F = 42.0 N be one half of the pair.)R =

You are riding your bicycle down the street at a speed of 16 m/s. Your bicycle's frame has a mass of 6.0 kg, and each of its two wheels has mass 2.2 kg and radius 0.34 m. Each wheel can be thought of as a hollow hoop (assuming that the rim has much larger mass than the spokes). What is the total kinetic energy of the bicycle (in Joules), taking into account both the translational and rotational motion?
