(I) Calculate the translational speed of a cylinder when it reaches the foot of an incline 7.20 m high. Assume it starts from rest and rolls without slipping.
An Atwood machineconsists of two masses,\({m_A} = {\bf{65 kg}}\) and\({m_B} = {\bf{75 kg}}\) connected by a massless inelastic cord that passes over a pulley free to rotate, Fig. 8 52. The pulley is a solid cylinder of radius\(R = {\bf{0}}{\bf{.45 m}}\) and mass 6.0 kg. (a) Determine the acceleration of each mass. (b) What % error would be made if the moment of inertia of the pulley is ignored? (Hint: The tensions\({F_{TA}}\) and\({F_{TB}}\)are not equal. We discussed the Atwood machine in Example 4–13, assuming I = 0 for the pulley.)

A rotating merry-go-round makes one complete revolution in 4.0 s (Fig. 8–41). (a) What is the linear speed of a child seated 1.2 m from the center? (b) What is her acceleration (give components)?

Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel 67 cm in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of 1.1 kg. The mass of the hub (at the center) can be ignored (why?).
If there were a great migration of people toward the Earth's equator, the length of the day would
(a) increase because of conservation of angular momentum.
(b) decrease because of conservation of angular momentum.
(c) decrease because of conservation of energy.
(d) increase because of conservation of energy.
(e) remain unaffected.
