Chapter 11, Problem 11.29P
A space station is coast me ted in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 5.00 × 104 kg. Members of the crew walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 100 m. At rest when constructed, the ring is set rotating about its axis so that the people inside experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. (Sec Fig. P11.29.) The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring, (a) What

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 mov-
ing 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
Figure P7.8
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 wheel's
angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant).
Problems 8 and 69.
A cylindrically shaped space station is rotating about the axis of the cylinder to create artificial gravity. The radius of the cylinder is
159 m. The moment of inertia of the station without people is 5.83 x 10° kg-m?. Suppose 758 people, with an average mass of 60.0
kg each, live on this station. As they move radially from the outer surface of the cylinder toward the axis, the angular speed of the
station changes. What is the maximum relative change (A w/w) max in the station's angular speed due to the radial movement of the
people?

A particular horizontal turntable can be modeled as a uniform disk with a mass of 230 g and a radius of 26.0 cm that rotates without friction about a vertical axis passing through its center. The
angular speed of the turntable is 3.00 rad/s. A ball of clay, with a mass of 40.0 g, is dropped from a height of 25.0 cm above the turntable. It hits the turntable at a distance of 15.0 cm from the
middle, and sticks where it hits. Assuming the turntable is firmly supported by its axle so it remains horizontal at all times, find the final angular speed of the turntable-clay system.

- Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.arrow_forwardA long, thin rod of mass m = 5.00 kg and length = 1.20 m rotates around an axis perpendicular to the rod with an angularspeed of 3.00 rad/s. a.
