Two people of different masses sit on a seesaw (Figure 11.103). the mass of personisisandThe people are initially at rest. The mass of the board is negligible.

(a) What are the magnitude and direction of the torque about the pivot due to the gravitational force on person(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the torque about the pivot due to the gravitational force on person(c) Since at this instant the linear momentum of the system may be changing, we don鈥檛 known the magnitude of the 鈥渘ormal鈥 force exerted by the pivot. Nonetheless, it is possible to calculate the torque due to this force. What are the magnitude and direction of the torque about the pivot due to the force exerted by the pivot on the board? (d) What are the magnitude and direction of the net torque on the system (board + people)? (e) Because of this net torque, what will happen? (A) The seesaw will begin to rotate clockwise. (B) The seesaw will begin to rotate counterclockwise. (C) The seesaw will not move. (f) Person 2 moves to a new position, in which the magnitude of the net torque about the pivot is nowand the seesaw is balanced. What is the new value ofin this situation?
A disk of radius and moment of inertia is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle (Figure 11.106). A string is wrapped tightly around the disk, and you pull on the string with a constant force of . After a while the disk has reached an angular speed ofWhat is its angular speed seconds later? Explain briefly.

An ice skater whirls with her arms and one leg stuck out as shown on the left in Figure 11.93, making one complete turn inThen she quickly moves her arms up above her head and pulls her leg in as shown at the right in Figure 11.93.

(a) Estimate how long it now takes for her to make one complete turn. Explain your calculations, and state clearly what approximations and estimates you make. (b) Estimate the minimum amount of chemical energy she must expended to change her configuration.
(a) What is the period of small-angle oscillations of a simple pendulum with a mass of at the end of a string of length(b) What is the period of small-angle oscillations of a meter stick suspended from one end, whose mass is
In Figure11.89depicts a device that can rotate freely with little friction with the axle. The radius isand each of the eight balls has a mass ofThe device is initially not rotating. A piece of clay falls and sticks to one of the balls as shown in the figure. The mass of the clay isand its speed just before the collision is

(a) Which of the following statements are true, for angular momentum relative to the axle of the wheel? (1) Just before the collision, (for the clay). (2) The angular momentum of the wheel is the same before and after the collision. (3) Just before the collision, the angular momentum of the wheel is. (4) The angular momentum of the wheel is the sum of the angular momentum of the wheel + clay after the collision is equal to the initial angular momentum of the clay. (6) The angular momentum of the falling clay is zero because the clay is moving in a straight line. (b) Just after the collision, what is the speed of one of the balls?
