Chapter 7, Problem 77GP
A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is spinning at 200 rpm and has a mass of 28 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the knife and the stone is 0.20. If the stone slows steadily to 180 rpm in 10 s of grinding, what is the force with which the man presses the knife against the stone?

In deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a
taut cable. The cable is 1 meter long (from the astronaut's fist to the tool),
and the tool makes a full trip around the circle in half a second as it moves
with constant speed. The mass of the tool is 10 kg. What is the tension in
the cable?
You are swinging a tennis ball attached to a 55 cm long cord, swinging the tennis ball in a circle. As you swing the tennis ball, the force of tension in the cord keeps the tennis ball in a circular path. The mass of the tennis ball is 0.25 kg, and as it swings around, speed of the tennis ball is 3.8 m/s. What is the force of tension in the cord? (the unit of force is the 'Newton' )

- A stone has a mass of 8.79 g and is wedged into the tread of an automobile tire, as the drawing shows. The coefficient of static friction between the stone and each side of the tread channel is 0.818. When the tire surface is rotating at 10.9m/s, the stone flies out the tread. The magnitude FN of the normal force that each side of the tread channel exerts on the stone is 2.46 N. Assume that only static friction supplies the centripetal force, and determines the radius r of the tire (in terms of m)arrow_forwardYou have a horizontal grindstone (a disk) that is 87 kg, has a 0.31 m radius, is turning at 94 rpm (in the positive direction), and you press a steel axe against the edge with a force of 23 N in the radial direction.
