Chapter 11: Problem 24
A gymnast of rotational inertia \(62 \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) is tumbling head over heels with angular momentum \(470 \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s} .\) What's her angular speed?

You stand with your right arm extended horizontally to the right. What's the direction of the gravitational torque about your shoulder?
Does a particle moving at constant speed in a straight line have angular momentum about a point on the line? About a point not on the line? In either case, is its angular momentum constant?
If you increase the rotation rate of a precessing gyroscope, will the precession rate increase or decrease?
A force \(\vec{F}\) applied at the point \(x=2.0 \mathrm{m}, y=0 \mathrm{m}\) produces a torque \(4.6 \hat{k} \mathrm{N} \cdot\) mabout the origin. If the \(x\) -component of \(\vec{F}\) is \(3.1 \mathrm{N}\) what angle does it make with the \(x\) -axis?
Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise as viewed from above. A far-fetched idea suggests that driving on the right side of the road may increase the frequency of tornadoes. Does this idea have any merit? Explain in terms of the angular momentum imparted to the air as two cars pass.
