A uniform, 0.0300-kg rod of length 0.400 m rotates in a horizontal plane about a fixed axis through its center and perpendicular to the rod. Two small rings, each with mass 0.0200 kg, are mounted so that they can slide along the rod. They are initially held by catches at positions 0.0500 m on each side of the center of the rod, and the system is rotating at 48.0rev/min. With no other changes in the system, the catches are released, and the rings slide outward along the rod and fly off at the ends. What is the angular speed (a) of the system at the instant when the rings reach the ends of the rod; (b) of the rod after the rings leave it?

Short Answer

(a) 12 rpm

(b) 15 rpm

Step by step solution

01

Angular Momentum

Angular momentum is equivalent to the linear momentum for rotation

L=/Ó¬L=angularmomentum/=monentofinertiaÓ¬=angularvelocity

For rod with axis per cu centerI1=112ML2

Approximate the rings to point masses I2=mL2

02

Given Data

massoftherod=0.03kglengthoftherod=0.4mmassofring1and2=0.2kgangularsspeed=48rev/m

03

Step 3(a): Determine the angular speed of the system at the instant when the rings reach the ends of the rod

Initial Instant: Before releasing the rings

Lo=(I1+2I2o)Ó¬0

Final instant: When the rings reach the end of the rod

Lf=(I1+2I2f)Ó¬

Angular momentum is conserved.

L0=LfI1+2I20Ó¬0=I1+2I2fÓ¬Ó¬=I1+2I20I1+2I2fÓ¬0I1=112x0.03x0.42=4x10-4kg.m2I20=0.02x0.052=5x10-5kg.m2I2f=0.02x0.22=8x10-4kg.m2Ó¬=4x10-4+2x5x10-54x10-4+2x8x10-4x48=12rpm

Hence the Angular speed of the system at the instant when the rings reach the ends of the rod is 12 rpm

04

Step 4(b): Determine the angular speed of the rod after the rings leave it

Initial instant: With the rings reach the end of the rod

Lo=(I1+2I2f)Ó¬f

Final moment: without the rings

Lf=I1Ó¬L0=LfÓ¬=I1+2I2fI1Ó¬f=4x10-4+2x8x10-44x10-4x12=15rpm

Hence the angular speed of the rod after the rings leave it is 15 rpm

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.

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?

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

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.

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’s 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?
