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 1=0.40rev/s.

Final angular speed is 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:

Ijj=Iff=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+1128kg(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:

I11=I222.56kgm20.40rad/s=0.9kgm222=2.56kgm20.40rad/s0.92=1.14rad/s


Hence, the final angular speed is 1.14rev/s

Calculate the earth鈥檚 gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth鈥檚 surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth鈥檚 surface. In view of your result, explain why it is said that astronauts are weightless when they orbit the earth in a satellite such as a space shuttle. Is it because the gravitational pull of the earth is negligibly small?

Your uncle is in the below-deck galley of his boat while you are spear fishing in the water nearby. An errant spear makes a small hole in the boat鈥檚 hull, and water starts to leak into the galley. (a) If the hole is 0.09 m below the water surface and has area 1.20 cm2, how long does it take 10.0 L of water to leak into the boat? (b) Do you need to take into consideration the fact that the boat sinks lower into the water as water leaks in?

Air traffic controllers give instructions called 鈥渧ectors鈥 to tell airline pilots in which direction they are to fly. If these are the only instructions given, is the name 鈥渧ector鈥 used correctly? Why or why not?

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth鈥檚 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鈥檚 surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth鈥檚 mass).
