The two blocks in FIGURE CP12.86 are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley is 12 cm in diameter and has a mass of 2.0 kg. As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.50 N m. If the blocks are released from rest, how long does it take the 4.0 kg block to reach the floor?

A toy gyroscope has a ring of mass M and radius R attached to the axle by lightweight spokes. The end of the axle is distance R from the center of the ring. The gyroscope is spun at angular velocity v, then the end of the axle is placed on a support that allows the gyroscope to precess. a. Find an expression for the precession frequency Ω in terms of M, R, v, and g. b. A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
The 3.0-m-long, 100 kg rigid beam of FIGURE EX12.31 is supported at each end. An 80 kg student stands 2.0 m from support 1. How much upward force does each support exert on the beam?

A thin, 100g disk with a diameter of 8.0 cm rotates about an axis through its center with 0.15 J of kinetic energy. What is the speed of a point on the rim?
A 120-cm-wide sign hangs from a 5.0 kg, 200-cm-long pole. A cable of negligible mass supports the end of the rod as shown in Figure P12.62. What is the maximum mass of the sign if the maximum tension in the cable without breaking is 300 N?
