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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Maximum mass it can support is 30.54 kg

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A 120-cm-wide sign hangs from a pole.

Mass of pole = 5.0 kg,

Length of pole 200-cm= 2m

A cable supports the end of the rod with maximum tension= 300 N

02

Explanation

First draw the diagram to understand and solve the problem as below

Now equate the clockwise and anti-clockwise torque

mg×(80cm)+(5kg)g×(100cm)+mg×(200cm)=TSinθ×(200cm)


Substitute

sinθ=250(2502+2002)=0.78andT=300N

We get,

mg×(0.80m)+(5kg)g×(1m)+mg×(2m)=(300N)(0.78)×(2m)2.8m+5kg=468gkgm=15.27kg

Maximum mass of sign board = M =2m =30.54 kg.

A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 3.0-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 250 kg is spinning at 20 rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round
at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John’s mass is 30 kg. What is the merry-goround’s angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?

A rod of length L and mass M has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ= cx2, where x is measured from the center of the rod and c is a constant.

a. What are the units of c?
b. Find an expression for c in terms of L and M.
c. Find an expression in terms of L and M for the moment of inertia of the rod for rotation about an axis through the center.

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?
