A couple of figure skaters are executing a move called the "death spiral" as shown in the image below. The male skater on the left is swinging his partner around him on the ice and we can assume that he is rotating without translating. The coefficient of friction between the female's skates and the ice is 0.02. The male skater is applying a constant moment of 8 lb-ft about the axis of rotation to keep the spin going. If the couple is initially spinning at 5 rad/s, calculate their final angular velocity after 6 seconds. Simplify this problem and treat the female as a 140 lb particle that is spinning 6' from the axis of rotation only in the horizontal plane.

3. A 5-kg crate is released from rest at Point A of a 20-kg ramp which is inclined at 40 degrees as shown in the figure below. The lengths of the ramp is 2 m. The interface between the ramp and the ground can be assumed to be frictionless. Use Newton's 2nd Law and the definition of the center of mass to determine the horizontal distance that the ramp has moved when the crate reaches Point B. Neglect the size of the crate. Does your answer depend on the frictional force between the crate and the ramp? e S
A box with mass m is on a frictionless inclined ramp, as shown. The ramp has an angle of θ with respect to the horizontal. The ramp is firmly attached to the inside of a car. The car is traveling to the right, and is slowing down. The car has a constant acceleration with magnitude a. You observe that the box doesn’t slide up or down the ramp. What is the angle of the ramp? Write your answer in variables, using only m, g, and a. This problem should be solved using the “recipe” taught in class. Focus Draw a free body diagram Identify the direction of the acceleration Write Newton's 2nd law (F=ma) Solve for unknowns Suppose that the driver now presses harder on the brakes. Would the box slide up the ramp, or slide down the ramp? Or would it not slide at all? No calculation required, but very briefly (one or two sentences) justify your answer. Draw a simple diagram if it helps!

In the figure, masses of a sphere of radius r and mass m are compressed between two neglected rods. The length of the bars is indicated by l, and the angle they make with the vertical by the angle. The force applied from the ends of the rods is in the horizontal direction and its magnitude is given by P. Friction between sphere and rods is neglected. Therefore, find the acceleration of the sphere in the vertical direction when the angle is 30º in terms of the given magnitudes. Note: Treat the sphere as the material point.
