About what axis will a uniform, balsa-wood sphere have the same moment of inertia as does a thin-walled, hollow, lead sphere of the same mass and radius, with the axis along a diameter?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, the axis along a diameter is\(0.516R\).

Step by step solution

01

Step:-1exaplanation

table 9.2 gives,

\(I = \frac{2}{3}M{R^2}\)

We know that in a solid sphere with mass M and,

Radius =R

Along a diameter\({I_{cm}} = \frac{2}{5}M{R^2}\).

02

Step:-2  Concept

Now here we need to find the diameter,

We use the parallel axis theorem.

\({I_p} = {I_{cm}} + M{d^2}\)

we know that \({I_{cm}} = \frac{2}{5}M{R^2}\) and \({I_p} = \frac{2}{3}MR{}^2\).

\({I_p} = {I_{cm}} + M{d^2}\)

03

Step:-3 solution

Put the value in the given expression,

\(\frac{2}{5}M{R^2} = \frac{2}{3}MR{}^2 + M{d^2}\)

\(\frac{2}{5}M{R^2} - \frac{2}{3}MR{}^2 = M{d^2}\)

\(M{R^2}\left( {\frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{3}} \right) = M{d^2}\)

\({R^2}\left( {\frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{3}} \right) = {d^2}\)

\(d = \sqrt {{R^2}\left( {\frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{3}} \right)} \)

\( = \sqrt {{R^2}\left( {\frac{{10 - 6}}{{15}}} \right)} \)

\( = \sqrt {\frac{4}{{15}}} R\)

\( = \frac{2}{{\sqrt {15} }}R\)

\(d = 0.516R\)

Hence, the axis is parallel to the diameter \(0.516R\)from the center.

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 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?

Question: The purity of gold can be tested by weighing it in air and in water. How? Do you think you could get away with making a fake gold brick by gold-plating some cheaper material?

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?

The 鈥渄irection of time鈥 is said to proceed from past to future. Does this mean that time is a vector quantity? Explain.
