Small blocks, each with mass m, are clamped at the ends and at the center of a rod of length L and negligible mass. Compute the moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through

(a) the center of the rod and

(b) a point one-fourth of the length from one end.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The center of the rod is mL22.

thus, point one-fourth of the length from one end is 11mL216.

Step by step solution

01

Step:-1(a)

The blocks on the edge of the rod have a fixed time but the center is actually on the axis so it does not. And the formula is:

/=2mL22

02

Step:-2(a)

go toL2because blocks that distance from the rotating axis. And at the last moment of inertia to the axis located in the center of the rod.

l=mL22.

Hence , the center of the rod is mL22.

03

Step:-3 explanation 

One m mass is L / 4 and the other 3L / 4 rod has negligible weight, so one has two m points.

04

Step:-4 calculation 

I=2mL42+m3L42

I=11mL216

point one-fourth of the length from one end is 11mL216.

According to the label on a bottle of salad dressing, the volume of the contents is 0.473 liter (L). Using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm, express this volume in cubic inches.

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 675Non the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20km?

A car travels in the +x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of the car is Vav-x=6.25m/s. How far does the car travel in 4.00 s?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
