(b ) Describe qualitatively how its angular speed about that point varies with time. (a ) L = rmv sin = (6 2 4.5) kg.m2/s = 54 kg.m2/s. (b ) increases as the particle approaches the point, then decreases as it recedes. 17* A particle is traveling with a constant velocity v along a line that is a distance b from the origin O (Figure 10-30). Let dA be the area swept out by the position vector from O to the particle in time dt. Show that dA/dt is constant in time and equal to 1/2L/m, where L is the angular momentum of the particle about the origin. The area at t = t1 is A1 = 1/2br1 cos 1 = 1/2bx1, where 1 is the angle between r1 and v and x1 is the component of r1 in the direction of v. At t = t1 + dt, A = A1 + dA = 1/2b (x + dx) = 1/2b (x + v dt). Thus, dA/dt = 1/2bv = constant.

(c) Find the acceleration of the masses from your results for parts (a ) and (b ) by setting the net torque equal to the rate of change of the angula r momentum of the system. (a ) The only external forces acting on the system are m1g and m2g sin . (The normal reaction force of the plane on m2 is balanced by the component of m2g normal to the plane.) Thus net = rg(m2 sin - m1), where we have taken clockwise to be positive to be consistent with a positive upward velocity of m1 as indicated in the figure. (b ) L = I + m1vr + m2vr = vr(I/r2 + m1+ m2). (c) = dL/dt = ar(I/r2 + m1 + m2) = rg(m2 sin - m1); a = (m2 sin - m1)g /(I/r2 + m1 + m2). 24 From her elevated DJ booth at a dance club, Caroline is lowering a 2-kg speaker using a 0.6-kg disk of radius 8 cm as a pulley (Figure 10-33). The speaker wire runs straight up from the speaker, over the pulley, and then horizontally across the table. She attaches the wire to the 4-kg amplifier on her tabletop, and then turns to get the other speaker. The table, however, is nearly frictionless, and the whole system begins to move when she lets go. (a ) What is the net torque about the center of the pulle y? (b ) What is the total angular momentum of the system 3.5 s after release? (c) What is the angular momentum of the pulley at this time? (d ) What is the ratio of the angular momentum of each piece of equipment to the angular momentum of the pulley?

(a ) In this case, =m1gr - km2gr = (1.57 - 0.25 4 9.81 0.08) = 0.785 N.m. Now proceed as in Problem 24. (b ) L = 2.75 kg.m2/s. (c) Lp = 0.131 kg.m2/s. (d ) The ratios are the same as in Problem 24. 26 Figure 10-34 shows the rear view of a spaceship that is rotating about its longitudinal axis at 6 rev/min. The occupants wish to stop this rotation. They have small jets mounted tangentially, at a distance R = 3 m from the axis, as indicated, and can eject 10 g/s of gas from each jet with a nozzle velocity of 800 m/s. For how long must they turn on these jets to stop the rotation? The rotational inertia of the ship around its axis (assumed to be constant) is 4000 kgm2. t = L/ = I/; = 2 FR; F = (10-2 800) N t = [(12 /60) 4000/(2 10-2 800 3)] s = 52.4 s

27 True or false: If the net torque on a rotating system is zero, the angular velocity of the system cannot change. False; the moment of inertia could change. 28 Folk wisdom says that a cat always lands on its feet. If a cat starts falling with its feet up, how can it land on its feet without violating the law of conservation of angular momentum? If the cat stretches its feet sideways, air friction provides torque to turn the animal about. 29* If the angular momentum of a system is constant, which of the following statements must be true? (a ) No torque acts on any part of the system. (b ) A constant torque acts on each part of the system. (c) Zero net torque acts on each part of the system. (d ) A constant external torque acts on the system. (e) Zero net torque acts on the system. (e ) 30 Two identical cylindrical disks have a common axis. Initially, one of the disks is spinning. When the two disks are brought into contact they stick together. Which of the following statements is true? (a ) The total kinetic energy and the total angular momentum are unchanged from their initial values. (b ) Both the total kinetic energy and the total angular momentum are reduced to half of their original values. (c) The total angular momentum is unchanged, but the total kinetic energy is reduced to half its original value. (d ) The total angular momentum is reduced to half of its original value, but the total kinetic energy is unchanged. (e) The total angular momentum is unchanged, and the total kinetic energy is reduced to one-quarter of its original value. (c ) 31 In Example 10-4, does the force exerted by the merry-go-round on the child do work? No; in each inelastic collision the force of static friction does not act through any distance. 32 Is it easier to crawl radially outward or radially inward on a rotating merry-go-round? Why? It is easier to crawl out; in the rotating reference frame the effective force on the person is outward. 33* A block sliding on a frictionless table is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the table. Initially, the block is sliding with speed v0 in a circle of radius r0. A student under the table pulls slowly on the string. What happens as the block spirals inward? Give supporting arguments for your choice. (a ) Its energy and angular momentum are conserved. (b ) Its angular momentum is conserved, and its energy increases. (c) Its angular momentum is conserved, and its energy decreases. (d ) Its energy is conserved, and its angular momentum increases. (e) Its energy is conserved, and its angular momentum decreases. (b ) = 0, so L is conserved. The student does work, Fs 0, so the energy of the block must increase. 34 A planet moves in an elliptical orbit about the sun with the sun at one focus of the ellipse as in Figure 10-35. (a )

What is the torque produced by the gravitational force of attraction of the sun for the planet? (b ) At position A, the planet is a distance r1 from the sun and is moving with a speed v1 perpendicular to the line from the sun to the planet. At position B, it is at distance r2 and is moving with speed v2, again perpendicular to the line from the sun to the planet. What is the ratio of v1 to v2 in terms of r1 and r2? (a ) r F = 0 since F acts along the direction of r =0 (b ) = 0 = dL/dt; L is constant At A and B, r v = rv; so v1/v2 = r2/r1 35 Under gravitational collapse (all forces on various pieces are inward toward the center), the radius of a spinning spherical star of uniform density shrinks by a factor of 2, with the resulting increased density remaining uniform throughout as the star shrinks. What will be the ratio of the final angular speed 2 to the initial angular speed 1? (a ) 2 (b ) 0.5 (c) 4 (d ) 0.25 (e) 1.0 (c) Since L is constant, I11 = I22; I R2, so 2/1 = R12/R22 = 4. 36 A man stands on a frictionless platform that is rotating with an angular speed of 1.5 rev/s. His arms are outstretched, and he holds a heavy weight in each hand. The moment of inertia of the man, the extended weights, and the platform is 6 kg.m2. When the man pulls the weights inward toward his body, the moment of inertia decreases to 1.8 kg.m2. (a ) What is the resulting angular speed of the platform? (b ) What is the change in kinetic energy of the system? (c) Where did this increase in energy come from?

What is the angular speed of the turntable after the blob flies off? 2 (a ) ext = 0; I0i = (I0 + mR2)f f = i /(1 + mR /I0) (b ) When m flies off, its angular momentum does not change = f

38 Two disks of identical mass but different radii (r and 2r) are spinning on frictionless bearings at the same angular speed 0 but in opposite directions (Figure 10-36). The two disks are brought slowly together. The resulting frictional force between the surfaces eventually brings them to a common angular velocity. What is the magnitude of that final angular velocity in terms of 0? 2 I1 = 4I2; f = (3/5) 0 = 0.30 = 0; Li = Lf; so f = 0(I1 - I2)/(I1 + I2); I R 39 A block of mass m sliding on a frictionless table is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the table. Initially, the block is sliding with speed v0 in a circle of radius r0. Find (a ) the angular momentum of the block, (b ) the kinetic energy of the block, and (c) the tension in the string.

He stands at the center of a turntable that can rotate without friction. He then takes a 2-kg globe of the earth and swings it around his head at the end of a 0.8-m chain. The world revolves around him every 3 s, and the professor and the platform have a moment of inertia of 0.5 kg.m2. (a ) What is the angular speed of the professor? (b ) What is the total kinetic energy of the globe, professor, and platform? We shall consider the 2-kg globe to be a point mass. (a ) = 0; Li = 0 = Lf. Write an expression for Lf. Solve for .

41* The suns radius is 6.96 108 m, and it rotates with a period of 25.3 d. Estimate the new period of rotation of the sun if it collapses with no loss of mass to become a neutron star of radius 5 km. 2 2 2 5 2 -9 2 = 1(R1 /R2 ) (see Problem 35); T2 = T1(R2/R1) ; T2 = [25.3(5/6.96 10 ) ] days = 1.31 10 days = 0.11 ms. Note: This assumes that the mass distribution in the sun and neutron star are the same. However, the suns mass is concentrated near its center, whereas the density of the neutron star is nearly constant. The correct period will be substantially greater than 0.11 ms. 42 Arriving at the baggage claim area in a small airport, Alan ( mass m) discovers a large turntable (radius R and moment of inertia I) that is spinning out of control. Not wanting to pass up an opportunity for magnificence, Alan leaps onto the edge of the turntable, which continues to spin freely with an angular speed of 7.5 rad/s. He struggles on his hands and knees to the center, and then rises up into a pose that resembles a hood ornament and spins like a figure skater in finale. Security is notified, but passengers applaud.

A particle of mass m = 0.5 kg is supported by a thin string of length L2 from the hinge. The particle sticks to the rod on contact. What should be the ratio L2/L1 so that max = 60o after the collision? 1. Find of rod at impact using energy conservation: MgL1/2 = 1/2(ML12/3) 2; = (3g /L1)1/2. 2.

E = 6.54 J. 57* Suppose that in Figure 10-42, m = 0.4 kg, M = 0.75 kg , L1 = 1.2 m, and L2 = 0.8 m. What minimum initial angular velocity must be imparted to the rod so that the system will revolve completely about the hinge following the inelastic collision? How much energy is then dissipated in the inelastic collision? Let i and f be the angular velocities of the rod immediately before and immediately after the inelastic collision with the mass m. Let 0 be the initial angular velocity of the rod. We proceed as follows: 1. We apply energy conservation to determine f. 2. Next we apply conservation of angular momentum to determine i. 3. Next, we again apply energy conservation to determine 0. 4. Finally, we find the energies of the system immediately before and immediately after the collision and, thereby, the energy loss. 1. Set K immediately after collision equal to potential energy after 180o rotation. 2 2 2 1/2(ML1 /3 + mL2 )f = MgL1 + 2mgL2; evaluate f : f = 7.0 rad/s. 2. (ML12/3)i = (ML12/3 + mL22)f ; solve for and evaluate i; i = [(0.96 + 0.256)/0.96] f = 8.87 rad/s. 3. 1/2(ML12/3)i2 = 1/2(ML12/3)02 + MgL1/2; 02 = i2 - 3g /L1; 0 = 7.355 rad/s. 4. Ei = 1/2(ML12/3)i2 = 40.95 J; Ef = MgL1 + 2mgL2 = 29.82 J. E = 11.13 J. 58 Repeat Problem 56 if the collision between the rod and particle is elastic. Let v be the speed of m immediately after collision and let i and f be the angular speed of the rod immediately before and immediately after the collision. 1. Use energy conservation at collision MgL1/2 - 0.2MgL1/2 = 1/2mv2; mv2 = 0.8MgL1 = 18.86 J 2 2 2. Use conservation of energy before the collision 1/2(ML1 /3) i = MgL1/2; i = (3g /L1)1/2 = 4.95 rad/s 2 2 3. Use conservation of energy of rod after collision 1/2(ML1 /3) f = 0.2MgL1/2; f = (0.6g /L1)1/2 = 2.215 rad/s 4. Use conservation of angular momentum ML12i /3 = ML12f /3 + mvL2; mv = 3.82 kg.m/s 5. From the results of 1. and 4. find v and m v = (18.86/3.82) m/s = 5.75 m/s; m = 0.665 kg 6. The collision is elastic; E = 0 59 True or false: (a ) Nutation and precession are the same phenomenon.

(a ) It veers to the right; this is the direction of the torque associated with the lifting of the nose. (b ) In turning to the right, the torque points down. The nose will tend to move down. 63 A car is powered by the energy stored in a single flywheel with an angular momentum L. Discuss the problems that would arise for various orientations of L and various maneuvers of the car. For example, what would happen if L points vertically upward and the car travels over a hilltop or through a valley? What would happen if L points forward or to one side and the car attempts to turn to the left or right? In each case that you examine, consider the direction of the torque exerted on the car by the road. If L points up and the car travels over a hill or through a valley, the force on the wheels on one side (or the other) will increase and the car will tend to tip. If L points forward and car turns left or right, the front (or rear) of the car will tend to lift. These problems can be averted by having two identical flywheels that rotate on the same shaft in opposite directions. 64 A bicycle wheel of radius 28 cm is mounted at the middle of an axle 50 cm long.

70 A uniform rod of mass M and length L lies on a horizontal frictionless table. A piece of putty of mass m = M /4 moves along a line perpendicular to the rod, strikes the rod near its end, and sticks to the rod. Describe qualitatively the subsequent motion of the rod and putty. The center of mass of the rod-and-putty system moves in a straight line, and the system rotates about the center of mass. 71 A particle of mass 3 kg moves with velocity v = 3 m/s i along the line z = 0, y = 5.3 m.

Inside the cylinder are two masses m, separated a distance l and tied to a central post by a thin string. The system can rotate about a vertical axis through the center of the cylinder. With the system rotating at , the strings holding the masses suddenly break. When the masses reach the end of the cylinder, they stick.

78 Repeat Problem 77, this time adding friction between the masses and walls of the cylinder. However, the coefficient of friction is not enough to prevent the masses from reaching the ends of the cylinder. Can the final energy of the system be determined without knowing the coefficient of kinetic friction? Again, there is no net external torque. Since the masses, m, come to the same final position, the initial and final configurations are the same as in Problem 77. Therefore, the answers are the same as for Problem 77. 79 Suppose that in Figure 10-45, l = 0.6 m, L = 2.0 m, M = 0.8 kg, and m = 0.4 kg. The system rotates at such that the tension in the string is 108 N just before it breaks. Determine the initial and final angular velocities and initial and final energies of the system. Assume that the inside walls of the cylinder are frictionless. Here we need only to determine . We can then use the expressions derived in Problem 77. m(l /2) 2 = T; = 2T/ml 0 = 30 rad/s. Substitute numerical values into Equ. (2) of Problem 77: f = 10.5 rad/s. Substitute numerical values into Equ. (3) and Equ. (4) of Problem 77: Ki =176.4 J; Kf = 61.74 J. 80 For Problem 77, determine the radial velocity of each mass just before it reaches the end of the cylinder. Until the inelastic collision of the masses m at the ends of the cylinder, both angular momentum and energy are conserved. To determine vr we set K' = Ki, where K' is the kinetic energy of the system just before the masses m reach the end of the cylinder. 1. Write expressions for K and Ki; solve for vr 2.

Determine the initial and final angular velocities of the system and the energy dissipated in friction. As before, angular momentum is conserved. The masses m now come to rest at r = 0.8 m. i = 30 rad/s as before. 1. Use Li = Lf; Find Ii and If Ii = 0.392 kg.m2; If = ML2/10 + 2m 0.82 = 0.832 kg.m2 2. f = i(Ii/If) f = 14.13 rad/s 3.

The drawing shows an elliptical orbit. The triangular element of the area is dA = 2 2 2 1/2r(r d) = 1/2r d . So dA/dt = 1/2r . Since the force acts along r, = 0 and Mr = L is constant. Consequently dA/dt is constant.

Inside the cylinder are two thin disks of 0.2 kg each, attached to springs of spring constant k and unstretched lengths 0.4 m. The system is brought to a rotational speed of 8 rad/s with the springs clamped so they do not stretch. The springs are then suddenly unclamped. When the disks have stopped their radial motion due to friction between the disks and the wall, they come to rest 0.6 m from the central axis. What is the angular velocity of the cylinder when the disks have stopped their radial motion? How much energy was dissipated in friction between the disks and cylinder wall?

86 Figure 10-47 shows a hollow cylinder of mass M = 1.2 kg and length L = 1.6 m that is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its center. Inside the cylinder are two disks, each of mass 0.4 kg that are tied to a central post by a thin string and separated by a distance l = 0.8 m. The string breaks if the tension exceeds 100 N. Starting from rest, a torque is applied to the system until the string breaks. Assuming the disks are point masses and the radius of the cylinder is negligible, find the amount of work done up to that instant. Suppose that at that instant, the applied torque is removed, and that the walls of the cylinder are frictionless. Obtain an expression for the angular velocity of the system as a function of x for x < L/2, where x is the distance between each mass and the central post. Icyl = 1.2 1.62/12 = 0.256; 2Im = 2 0.4 x2 = 0.8x2; 1. Find Ii = Icyl + 2Im in kg.m2 Ii = I(x = 0.4) = 0.384; I(x) = 0.256 + 0.8x2 i = (100/0.4 0.4) 1/2 = 25 rad/s 2. Find i when string breaks; mri2 = Tc W = 1/2(0.384 252) = 120 J 3. Work done = K; K = 1/2Iii2 4. Find L; L = Iii = I(x)(x); solve for (x) L = 9.6 J.s; (x) = [9.6/(0.256 + 0.8x2)] rad/s 87 For the system of Problem 86, find the angular velocity of the system just before and just after the point masses pass the ends of the cylinder. Use the result of Problem 86: x = 0.8 m; = [9.6/(0.256 + 0.83)] rad/s = 12.5 rad/s. This is the angular velocity in both instances because the masses leave the cylinder with a tangential velocity of 1/2L so the angular momentum of the system remains constant. 88 Repeat Problem 86 with the radius of the hollow cylinder as 0.4 m and the masses treated as thin disks rather than point masses. 1. To find Icyl and Im we must refer to Table 9.1 and Icyl = M (L2/12 + R2/2) = 0.352; 2Im = 2m(R2/4 + x2) also use the parallel axis theorem. Ii = Icyl + 2Im(x = 0.4) = 0.512 2. i is the same as in Problem 86 i = 25 rad/s 3. W = 1/2Iii2 4. Find L; L = Iii = I(x)(x); solve for (x) W = 1/2 0.512 625 J = 160 J 2 (x) = [12.8/(0.384 + 0.8x )] rad/s

89* Figure 10-48 shows a pulley in the shape of a uniform disk with a heavy rope hanging over it. The circumference of the pulley is 1.2 m and its mass is 2.2 kg. The rope is 8.0 m long and its mass is 4.8 kg. At the instant shown in the figure, the system is at rest and the difference in height of the two ends of the rope is 0.6 m. (a ) What is the angular velocity of the pulley when the difference in height between the two ends of the rope is 7.2 m? (b ) Obtain an expression for the angular momentum of the system as a function of time while neither end of the rope is above the center of the pulley. There is no slippage between rope and pulley. (a) Take y = 0 at center of pulley; write Ui and Uf Ui = -1/2L1i(L1ig ) - 1/2L2i(L2ig ) = -1/2(L1i2 + L2i2)g for the free part of the rope. Let = M r/L Uf = -1/2(L1f2 + L2f2)g ; L1i+L2i = 7.4 m; L2i-L2i = 0.6 m; = 0.6 kg/m. Let L1 and L2 be the lengths of the hanging parts. L1i = 3.4 m, L2i = 4.0 m; also L1f = 0.1 m, L2f = 7.3 m Use conservation of energy: K + U = 0. K = 1/2Ip 2 + 1/2Mv2; v = R; R = (1.2/2 ) m = 0.6/ m

Solve for (b) Now write U() and U, where is the angle through which the pulley has turned. This will reduce L1 by R and increase L2 by R. Use energy conservation and result for K Recall that = d /dt Integrate Find (t) L = Lp + Lr = (Ip + M rR2); note that the angular momentum of each portion of the rope is the same
