A metre stick is balanced on a knife edge at its centre. When two coins, each of mass 5 g are put one on top of the other at the 12.0 cm mark, the stick is found to be balanced at 45.0 cm. What is the mass of the metre stick?
The air around the spinning baseball in the figure experiences a faster speed on the left than the right side and hence a smaller pressure on the left than the right. Suppose the ball is traveling in the x -direction at 38.0 m/s and it breaks 15.0 cm to the left in the -y -direction. Determine the pressure difference between the right and left sides of the ball. Assume the ball has a mass of 142 g and a radius of 3.55 cm. In addition, assume it travels at a constant speed of 38 m/s in the x -direction from the pitcher’s mound to home plate (60.5 ft = 18.44 m). Hint: The pressure difference equals the leftward force multiplied by the crosssectional area of the ball, πr^2.
