- A boy with a mass of 31.0 kg slides down the slide shown below. At the moment shown, the radius of the slide is 1.29 m, his angular position is determined by 0 = (0.65t) rad, and his vertical position is determined by 2 = (-0.4t) m, where t is in seconds. What is the radial force, F, acting on the boy at t = 1.1 s? Assume the boy's size can be neglected.arrow_forwardBlock 1 with mass m1=502 kg rests on a horizontal ledge with negligible friction. This block is then attached to a string that passes over a pulley, and the other end of the string is attached to the hanging block 2 of mass m2=251 kg, as shown. The pulley is a uniform disk of radius 9.40 cm and mass 1.770 kg. Calculate the speed of block 2 after it is released from rest and falls a distance of 2.15 m. What is the angular speed of the pulley at the instant when block 2 has fallen a distance of 2.15 m?arrow_forwardWhat is the angular momentum of a 3.4-kg uniform cylindrical grinding wheel of radius 24 cm when rotating at 1400 rpm ?
