You are a project manager for a manufacturing company. One of the

machine parts on the assembly line is a thin, uniform rod that is 60.0 cm long

and has a mass of 0.400 kg.

(a) What is the moment of inertia of this rod for an axis at its center,

perpendicular to the rod?

(b) One of your engineers has proposed to reduce the moment of inertia by bending the rod at its center into a V-shape, with a 60.0o angle at its vertex. What would be the moment of inertia of this bent rod about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the V at its vertex?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The moment of inertia is 0.012kg.m2.

Perpendicular to the plane of the V at its vertex is ml212.

Step by step solution

01

Step:-1 expression

Given m =0.400 and

l =0.600

02

Step:-2 Concept  

in the given question we need to find a moment of inertia.

hence we know the moment of inertia formula is

ml212_____(1)

03

Step:-3 calculation

Put the value in equation (1)

ml212=0.400kg×(0.600m)12=0.400×0.3612=0.14412=0.012kg⋅m2

04

Step:-4 expression 

We know that,two rods each having ,

Mass=m2

Length =l2

05

Step:-5 Concept 

we know that definitionItotal=2ml3

we also know that the formulam=m2

and formula ofL=l2

06

Step:-6 calculation 

Put the value in the expression,

ltotal=2m2l223=ml212

The distribution of mass about the axis of rotation is ml212.

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?

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 helium filled balloon is tied to a light string inside a car at rest. The other end of the string is attached to the floor of the car, so the balloon pulls the string vertical. The car now accelerates forward. Does the balloon move? If so, does it move forward or backward? Justify your reasoning with references to buoyancy (if you have a chance, try this experiment yourself but with someone else driving !).

Two identical stars with mass Morbit around their center of mass. Each orbit is circular and has radiusR, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) Find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) Find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) How much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 400 km above the earth’s surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4000 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What is the period of the spacecraft’s orbit? (b) Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft’s speed at perigee to its speed at apogee. (c) Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. (d) It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft’s rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this? What if the rockets were fired at apogee? Which point in the orbit is more efficient to use?.
