28)Four small spheres, each of which you can regard as a point of mass of 0.200 kg, are arranged in a square of 0.400 m on a side and connected by extremely light rods (Fig. E9.28). Find the moment of inertia of the system about an axis

(a) through the center of the square, perpendicular to its plane (an axis through point O in the figure);

(b) bisecting two opposite sides of the square (an axis along the line AB in the figure);

(c) that passes through the centers of the upper left and lower right spheres and point O.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) the center of the square, perpendicular to its plane is 0.0640km.m2

(b) Bisecting two opposite sides of the square is 0.032kg.m2.

(c) The center of the upper left and lower right sphere and through point o is 0.032kg.m2.

Step by step solution

01

Step:-1 explanation 

If we want to solve our question. we will be applying an equation that determines the moment of inertia

I=∑mirii2

Where, l = amoment of the inertia

mi=mass

ri=distance from the axis of the rotation.

02

Step:-2 Concept

The center of the square, perpendicular to its plane

Here, we will assume applying the Pythagorean theorem,

r2=a2+a22

First, we will calculate the distance from the axis.

r2=a22+a22____________(1)

03

Step:-3 calculation 

Put the value in equation (1)

=0.40022+(0.400/2)2 =(0.200m)2+(0.200m)2 =(0.04)(0.40)=0.08m2=0.0800m2

Now we making an assumption that is four masses.

Now here we will calculate the moment of the inertia is,

I=4×(0.200kg×0.0800m2)=14×0.016=0.0640km.m2

04

Step:-4 explanation 

We will assume since of the rotation is placed at the AB line.

Here moment of inertia will be changed distance rotation squared will now.

r2=a22

05

Step:-5 calculation            

First, we will calculate distance,

r2=0.400m22=0.164=0.040m2

Here we calculate the moment of inertia

I=4×(0.200kg×0.0400m2)=4×0.008=0.032kg.m2

06

Step:-6 explanation  

We will assume that since the place of the axis of the rotation is changed, the distance square will now be,

07

Step:-7 concept

First, we will calculate that distance squared as,

r2=a22+a22

We also need to find the value of,I=2×(m×r2)

08

Step:-8 calculation 

Put a = 4.00

First, we will calculate that distance squared as,

r2=0.40022+0.40022=0.0800m2

We will calculate for two masses as,

I=2×(0.200kg×0.0800m2)=2×0.016=0.0320kg.m2

A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher’s hand at a speed of 45.0m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the ball over a distance of1.50mand produced constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by

xt=28.0m+12.4m/st-0.0450 m/s3t3.What is the instantaneous velocity of the bird when t = 8.00 s?

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth’s surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth’s surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth’s mass).

A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car’s gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/spasses you. When the rear of the bus 12 m ispast you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of0.960m/s2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?
