BIO Human Rotational Energy. A dancer is spinning at 72 rpm about an axis through her center with her arms outstretched

(Fig. P9.83). From biomedical measurements, the typical distribution

of mass in a human body is as follows:

Head: 7.0%

Arms: 13% (for both)

Trunk and legs: 80.0%

Suppose you are this dancer. Using this information plus length

measurements on your own body, calculate (a) your moment of inertia about your spin axis and (b) your rotational kinetic energy. Use Table 9.2 to model reasonable approximations for the pertinent parts of your body.

Concept and formula used to solve the problem.

Rotational Motion

If the motion of an object is around a circular path, in a fixed orbit, then that motion is known as rotational motion.

Since our hands and legs are rotating, we must apply the formula of rotational motion

  • Rotational kinetic energy

Krotational=12I Ӭ2

Where I is the moment of inertia of the rigid body andis angular velocity.

  • Moment of inertia of the solid sphere

I=25MR2

Where M is mass and R is the radius

  • Moment of inertia of the solid cylinder

I=12MR2

Where M is mass and R is the radius

  • Moment of inertia of the rod about the center of mass.

Icm=112ML2

Where M is mass and L is the length

(a) Finding the moment of inertia.

The total moment of inertia of the body is the sum moment of inertia of all the parts of the body.

Itotal=Iarm+Ihead+Itrunk+leg

Considering the head as a sphere, its moment of inertia can be given by using the formula for the moment of inertia of a solid sphere.

Ihead=25mrh2=250.0770 â¶Ä‰k²µ0.072=0.0096 â¶Ä‰k²µ

Considering the trunk and leg together as a cylinder, their moment of inertia can be given by using the formula for the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder.

Ihead=12mrtrunk+leg2=120.870 â¶Ä‰k²µ0.122=0.4032 â¶Ä‰k²µ

Considering the hands as a rod, its moment of inertia can be given by using the formula for the moment of inertia of a rod.

To find the moment of inertia of the arm about the center axis of the body we must use the parallel axis theorem,

That is

I=Icm+md2

Where is a moment of inertia about the center of mass, m is mass d is the distance between two axes.

Therefore

Iarm=112mL2+md2=1120.1370 â¶Ä‰k²µ0.52+0.1370 â¶Ä‰k²µ0.52+0.122=0.18957+1.2458=1.4353 â¶Ä‰k²µ.³¾2

Therefore, the total moment of Inertia is

Itotal=Iarm+Ihead+Itrunk+leg=1.4353 â¶Ä‰k²µ.³¾2+0.0096 â¶Ä‰k²µ+0.4032 â¶Ä‰k²µ= 1.500 k²µ.³¾2

Hence the total moment of inertia of the body is 1.500 k²µ.³¾2

Step 4:(b) Finding the rotational kinetic energy

Rotational kinetic energy can be given as

Krotational=12I Ӭ2

Where I is a moment of inertia of the rigid body and is angular velocity.

We know

Itotal=1.500 k²µ.³¾2

Ó¬=72 â¶Ä‰r±è³¾

Converting angular velocity into rad/s

Ó¬=72 â¶Ä‰2Ï€60rad/s

Total rotational kinetic energy

Krotational=121.500 k²µ.³¾272 â¶Ä‰2Ï€60rad/s2Krotational=42.59 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰J

Hence the rotational kinetic energy is 42.59J

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0 Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth’s equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

The following conversions occur frequently in physics and are very useful. (a) Use 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 h = 3600 s to convert 60 mph to units of ft/s. (b) The acceleration of a freely falling object is 32 ft/s2. Use 1 ft = 30.48 cm to express this acceleration in units of m/s2. (c) The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. Convert this density to units of kg/m3.
