To find: The torque that the player applies at one end.
Answer to Problem 35P
The value is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A softball player swings a bat, accelerating it from rest to
Formula used:
Here,
Calculation:
The mass of bat
The length of bat
Player hits the softball with bat,
Hence the axis of rotation will be at one end of the bat.
For this, Moment of Inertia
The ball accelerates from rest to
The angular acceleration
But
And
Therefore,
The Torque
Hence,
Conclusion:
The value is
