1. Predict/Explain A piece of sheet metal of mass M is cut into the shape of a right triangle, as shown in Figure 9-24.
Figure 9-24 Enhance Your Understanding 7.
A vertical dashed line is drawn on the sheet at the point where the mass on either side of the line is M/2. The sheet is now placed on a fulcrum just under the dashed line and released from rest. (a) Does the metal sheet remain level, rotate counterclockwise (left end down), or rotate clockwise (right end down)? (b) Choose the best explanation for your prediction from among the following:
- I. Equal mass on either side will keep the metal sheet level.
- II. The metal sheet extends for a greater distance to the left, which shifts the center of mass to the left of the dashed line.
- III. The center of mass is to the right of the dashed line because the sheet of metal is thicker there.

- Free answer instructions: 1. At the top of the page write your name and problem version (A, B, or C) 2. Carefully read the problem 3. Write your solution to each sub-section separately (A, B, C) on paper Your solution can be turned in two ways: A. Scan or take a photo of your solution - make sure your scan is legible Make sure your file is in jpeg or pdf format (other formats will need to be converted). Upload your scanned solution using the "Choose a File" button beneath B. Turn in a hard-copy with your name on it to SRTC 134 by 12:45PM Version B A large disc-shaped grindstone is spinning at 500 revolutions/min. The grindstone has a mass 4.0 kg and radius 9.0 cm. The moment of inertia of a disc rotating about its center is given by I = MR² The power is shut off by the operator and to slow it down, she sharpens a 4 kg axe by holding it against the grindstone until it stops 7 s later. Assume the angular acceleration is constant while the grindstone is slowing down. (A) Draw a diagram…arrow_forwardLEARN MORE REMARKS Only simple geometries-rectangles and triangles-can be solved exactly with this method. More complex shapes require calculus or the square-counting technique in the next worked example. QUESTION When stretching springs, does half the displacement require half as much work? (Select all that apply.) Yes, because the work is equal to the force times the distance. Yes, because the spring exerts a constant force. Yes, because half the displacement means the force from the spring is half as large. No, because the spring does not exert a constant force. No, because the force of the spring is proportional to x. No, because the force exerted by the spring is proportional to x². PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. One end of a horizontal spring (k = 87.4 N/m) is held fixed while an external force is applied to the free end, stretching it slowly from XA = 0 to xB = 4.69 cm. (a) Find the work done by the applied force on the spring.
