A thin, uniform rod of length L and mass M is placed vertically on a horizontal table. If tilted ever so slightly, the rod will fall over.
a. What is the speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table if there’s so much friction that the bottom tip of the rod does not slide?
b. What is the speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table if the table is frictionless?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table is v=3gl4

b) Speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the for frictionless table is v=gl

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step1 : Given information

Length= L

Mass = M

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

Moment of inertia of a rod is given by

I=13ML2..............................................(1)

Total energy , when rod is standing on table is

E=MgL2.......................(2)

Kinetic energy of the rod when it hits the table

KE=12IÓ¬2

Substitute the value of inertia, we get

KE=12×(ML23)×Ӭ2..........................(3)

From the law of conservation of energy

E=KE12MgL=12×13ML2×Ӭ2Ӭ=3gL……………….(4)

Velocity is v=L2Ó¬

Substitute in equation (4), we get

v=L2×3gLv=3gL4

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

Length= L

Mass = M

04

Part(b) Step2 : Explanation

Total energy of the standing rod is

E=mgL2( as center of mass is at middle of rod)

From the law of energy conservation

K=KE

As there is no friction so there will be no radial kinetic energy. so

12MgL=12Mv2v=gL

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?

Flywheels are large, massive wheels used to store energy. They can be spun up slowly, then the wheel’s energy can be released quickly to accomplish a task that demands high power. An industrial flywheel has a 1.5 m diameter and a mass of 250 kg. Its maximum angular velocity is 1200 rpm.
a. A motor spins up the flywheel with a constant torque of 50 N m. How long does it take the flywheel to reach top speed?
b. How much energy is stored in the flywheel?

c. The flywheel is disconnected from the motor and connected to a machine to which it will deliver energy. Half the energy stored in the flywheel is delivered in 2.0 s. What is the average power delivered to the machine?
d. How much torque does the flywheel exert on the machine?

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?
