FIGURE 8–36 MisConceptual Question 4.
A uniform rod of mass M and length l can pivot freely
(i.e., we ignore friction) about a hinge attached to a wall,
as in Fig. 8-63. The rod is held horizontally and then
released. At the moment of release, determine (a) the angular
acceleration of the rod, and (b) the linear acceleration
of the tip of the rod. Assume that the force of gravity
acts at the center of mass of the rod, as shown. [Hint: See
Fig. 8–20g.]

3. A wheel of mass M has radius R. It is standing vertically on
the floor, and we want to exert a horizontal force F at its
axle so that it will climb a step against which it rests
(Fig. 10-66). The step has height h, where h < R. What
minimum force F is needed?

Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque.

What is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50.b.
