The Spining. Figure Skater. The outstretched hands and arms of a figure skater preparing for a spin can be considered a slender rod pivoting about an axis through its center (fig.E10.43). When the skatere'g hands and arms are brought in wrapped around his body to execute the spin, the hands and arms can be considered a thin-walled, hollow cylinder. His hands and arms have a combined mass of 8.0kg. When outstretched, they span 1.8m, when wrapped, they form a cylinder of radius 25cm. The moment of inertia about the rotation axis of the remainder of his body is constant and equal to 0.40kgm2. If his original angular speed is 0.40rev/s, what is the final angular speed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The angular speed after the hands are wrapped is 1.14reV/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given in the question

Original angular speed is Ó¬1=0.40rev/s.

Final angular speed is Ó¬2.

Mass of arms is m=8kg

Radius of cylinder is R=25cm.

Length of arms outstretched is L=1.8m.

02

Conservation of angular momentum.

Apply the law of conservation of angular momentum to a system whose moment of inertia changes gives:

IjÓ¬j=IfÓ¬f=constant

03

Moment of inertia with arms outstretched.

The total moment of inertia with arms outstretched is solved as:

I1=Ibody+Iarms=0.40kgm2+112mL2=0.40kgm2+112×8kg×(1.8m)2=2.56kgm2

Hence, the total moment of inertia when the arms are outstretched is 2.56kgm2.

04

Moment of inertia with arms wrapped around the body.

The total moment of inertia with arms wrapped around the body is solved as:

I2=Ibody+Iams=0.40kgm2+mR2=0.40kgm2+8kg×(0.25m)2=0.9kgm2

Hence, the total moment of inertia when the arms are wrapped around is 0.9kgm2.

05

Use conservation of angular momentum.

Use the conservation of angular momentum to obtain angular speed:

I1Ӭ1=I2Ӭ22.56kgm2×0.40rad/s=0.9kgm2×Ӭ2Ӭ2=2.56kgm2×0.40rad/s0.9Ӭ2=1.14rad/s


Hence, the final angular speed is 1.14rev/s

The most powerful engine available for the classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray developed 360 horsepower and had a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Express this displacement in liters (L) by using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm.

A cube of oak wood with very smooth faces normally floats in water. Suppose you submerge it completely and press one face flat against the bottom of a tank so that no water is under that face. Will the block float to the surface? Is there a buoyant force on it? Explain.

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

As planets with a wide variety of properties are being discovered

outside our solar system, astrobiologists are considering whether and how life

could evolve on planets that might be very different from earth. One recently

discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70

times the mass of our sun. This planet has been found to have 2.3 times the

earth’s diameter and 7.9 times the earth’s mass. For planets in this size range,

computer models indicate a relationship between the planet’s density and

composition:

Based on these data, what is the most likely composition of this planet? (a)

Mostly iron; (b) iron and rock; (c) iron and rock with some lighter elements; (d)

hydrogen and helium gases.

Given two vectors A→=4.00i^+7.00j^ and B→=5.00i^−7.00j^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector difference A→−B→; and (c) find the magnitude and direction of the vector difference A→−B→. (d) In a vector diagram showA→,B→ and A→−B→, and show that your diagram agrees qualitatively with your answer to part (c).
