Problem 82

A local ice hockey team has asked you to design an apparatus for measuring the speed of the hockey puck after a slap shot. Your design is a 2.00-m-long, uniform rod pivoted about one end so that it is free to rotate horizontally on the ice without friction. The 0.800-kg rod has a light basket at the other end to catch the 0.163-kg puck. The puck slides across the ice with velocity \(\overrightarrow{v}\) (perpendicular to the rod), hits the basket, and is caught. After the collision, the rod rotates. If the rod makes one revolution every 0.736 s after the puck is caught, what was the puck's speed just before it hit the rod?

Problem 83

You are designing a slide for a water park. In a sitting position, park guests slide a vertical distance \(h\) down the waterslide, which has negligible friction. When they reach the bottom of the slide, they grab a handle at the bottom end of a 6.00-m-long uniform pole. The pole hangs vertically, initially at rest. The upper end of the pole is pivoted about a stationary, frictionless axle. The pole with a person hanging on the end swings up through an angle of 72.0\(^\circ\), and then the person lets go of the pole and drops into a pool of water. Treat the person as a point mass. The pole's moment of inertia is given by \(I = \frac{1}{3} ML^2\), where \(L =\) 6.00 m is the length of the pole and \(M =\) 24.0 kg is its mass. For a person of mass 70.0 kg, what must be the height h in order for the pole to have a maximum angle of swing of 72.0\(^\circ\) after the collision?

Problem 86

A small block with mass 0.130 kg is attached to a string passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (see Fig. E10.40). The block is originally revolving in a circle with a radius of 0.800 m about the hole with a tangential speed of 4.00 m/s. The string is then pulled slowly from below, shortening the radius of the circle in which the block revolves. The breaking strength of the string is 30.0 N. What is the radius of the circle when the string breaks?

Problem 87

A 55-kg runner runs around the edge of a horizontal turntable mounted on a vertical, frictionless axis through its center. The runner's velocity relative to the earth has magnitude 2.8 m/s. The turntable is rotating in the opposite direction with an angular velocity of magnitude 0.20 rad/s relative to the earth. The radius of the turntable is 3.0 m, and its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is 80 kg \(\cdot\) m\(^2\). Find the final angular velocity of the system if the runner comes to rest relative to the turntable. (You can model the runner as a particle.)

Problem 88

The V6 engine in a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck is reported to produce a maximum power of 285 hp at 5300 rpm and a maximum torque of 305 ft \(\cdot\) lb at 3900 rpm. (a) Calculate the torque, in both ft \(\cdot\) lb and N \(\cdot\) m, at 5300 rpm. Is your answer in ft \(\cdot\) lb smaller than the specified maximum value? (b) Calculate the power, in both horsepower and watts, at 3900 rpm. Is your answer in hp smaller than the specified maximum value? (c) The relationship between power in hp and torque in ft \(\cdot\) lb at a particular angular velocity in rpm is often written as hp \(= \big[\)torque 1in ft \(\cdot\) lb2 \(\times\) rpm\(\big]/c\), where \(c\) is a constant. What is the numerical value of \(c\)? (d) The engine of a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is reported to produce 580 hp at 6000 rpm. What is the torque (in ft \(\cdot\) lb) at 6000 rpm?

Problem 91

A block with mass m is revolving with linear speed \(v_1\) in a circle of radius \(r_1\) on a frictionless horizontal surface (see Fig. E10.40). The string is slowly pulled from below until the radius of the circle in which the block is revolving is reduced to \(r_2\). (a) Calculate the tension \(T\) in the string as a function of \(r\), the distance of the block from the hole. Your answer will be in terms of the initial velocity \(v_1\) and the radius \(r_1\). (b) Use \(W = \int_{r1}^{r2} \overrightarrow{T} (r) \cdot d\overrightarrow{r}\) to calculate the work done by \(\overrightarrow{T}\) when \(r\) changes from \(r_1\) to \(r_2\). (c) Compare the results of part (b) to the change in the kinetic energy of the block.

Problem 92

When an object is rolling without slipping, the rolling friction force is much less than the friction force when the object is sliding; a silver dollar will roll on its edge much farther than it will slide on its flat side (see Section 5.3). When an object is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface, we can approximate the friction force to be zero, so that \(a_x\) and \(a_z\) are approximately zero and \(v_x\) and \(\omega_z\) are approximately constant. Rolling without slipping means \(v_x = r\omega_z\) and \(a_x = r\alpha_z\) . If an object is set in motion on a surface \(without\) these equalities, sliding (kinetic) friction will act on the object as it slips until rolling without slipping is established. A solid cylinder with mass \(M\) and radius \(R\), rotating with angular speed \(\omega_0\) about an axis through its center, is set on a horizontal surface for which the kinetic friction coefficient is \(\mu_k\). (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the cylinder on the surface. Think carefully about the direction of the kinetic friction force on the cylinder. Calculate the accelerations \(a_x\) of the center of mass and \(a_z\) of rotation about the center of mass. (b) The cylinder is initially slipping completely, so initially \(\omega_z = \omega_0\) but \(v_x =\) 0. Rolling without slipping sets in when \(v_x = r\omega_z\) . Calculate the \(distance\) the cylinder rolls before slipping stops. (c) Calculate the work done by the friction force on the cylinder as it moves from where it was set down to where it begins to roll without slipping.

Problem 93

A demonstration gyroscope wheel is constructed by removing the tire from a bicycle wheel 0.650 m in diameter, wrapping lead wire around the rim, and taping it in place. The shaft projects 0.200 m at each side of the wheel, and a woman holds the ends of the shaft in her hands. The mass of the system is 8.00 kg; its entire mass may be assumed to be located at its rim. The shaft is horizontal, and the wheel is spinning about the shaft at 5.00 rev/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the force each hand exerts on the shaft (a) when the shaft is at rest; (b) when the shaft is rotating in a horizontal plane about its center at 0.050 rev/s; (c) when the shaft is rotating in a horizontal plane about its center at 0.300 rev/s. (d) At what rate must the shaft rotate in order that it may be supported at one end only?

Problem 94

The moment of inertia of the empty turntable is \(1.5 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\). With a constant torque of \(2.5 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m},\) the turntable-person system takes \(3.0 \mathrm{~s}\) to spin from rest to an angular speed of \(1.0 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\). What is the person's moment of inertia about an axis through her center of mass? Ignore friction in the turntable axle. (a) \(2.5 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (b) \(6.0 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (c) \(7.5 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) (d) \(9.0 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\).

Problem 96

A doubling of the torque produces a greater angular acceleration. Which of the following would do this, assuming that the tension in the rope doesn't change? (a) Increasing the pulley diameter by a factor of \(\sqrt{ 2 }\); (b) increasing the pulley diameter by a factor of 2; (c) increasing the pulley diameter by a factor of 4; (d) decreasing the pulley diameter by a factor of \(\sqrt{ 2 }\).
