What is the rotational kinetic energy of the earth? Assume the earth is a uniform sphere. Data for the earth can be found inside the back cover of the book.
The two objects in FIGURE EX12.29 are balanced on the pivot. What is distance ?

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 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?

The earth鈥檚 rotation axis, which is tilted 23.5颅 from the plane of the earth鈥檚 orbit, today points to Polaris, the north star. But Polaris has not always been the north star because the earth, like a spinning gyroscope, precesses. That is, a line extending along the earth鈥檚 rotation axis traces out a 23.5颅 cone as the earth precesses with a period of 26,000 years. This occurs because the earth is not a perfect sphere. It has an equatorial bulge, which allows both the moon and the sun to exert a gravitational torque on the earth. Our expression for the precession frequency of a gyroscope can be written 惟=饾湉/蝇. Although we derived this equation for a specific situation, it鈥檚 a valid result, differing by at most a constant close to 1, for the precession of any rotating object. What is the average gravitational torque on the earth due to the moon and the sun?
