ADDITIONAL PRACTICE PROBLEM FOR ROTATIONAL MOTION OHANIAN: 1. 2. Example 2 page 300.

A phonograph turntable rotates at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute. Find the frequency of revolution, the angular velocity, and the period of the motion. Example 3 page 302. The cable supporting an elevator runs over a wheel of radius 0.36 m (Figure 12.9). If the elevator ascends with an upward acceleration of 0.47 m/s2 (as in example 6.4), what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? How many turns does the wheel make if this accelerated motion lasts 5.0 s starting from rest? Assume that the cable runs over the wheel without slipping.

Example 1 page 327. During a sudden stop, the horizontal braking force exerted by the road on the front wheel of a bicycle with a front-wheel brake is 600 N. What is the torque of this force about the center of mass of the bicycle and its rider? The center of mass is 95 cm above the road and 70 cm behind the point of contact of the front wheel with the ground.

Example 2 page 330. A phonograph turntable driven by an electric motor accelerates at a constant rate from 0 to 33 1/3 rev/min in a time of 2.0 s. The turntable is a uniform disk of metal, of a mass 1.5 kg and a radius of 13 cm. What torque about the axis is required to drive this turntable? If the driving wheel makes contact with the turntable at its outer rim (Figure 13.8), what is the force that it must exert?

Example 6 page 334. A Prony dynamometer, used for the measurement of the power output of an engine, consists of two equal beams clamped loosely around a flywheel mounted to the shaft of the engine (Figure 13.12). The frictional drag between the spinning flywheel and the clamp tends to turn the beams counterclockwise; a weight attached to the right beam tends to turn them clockwise. The weight must be adjusted so that the opposing torques of weight and friction are in balance and the beams remain in a static, horizontal position. In a test of an automobile engine driving a flywheel of 0.305-m radius at 2500 rev/min, a weight of 33.1 kg balances the beams when hung at a distance of 0.910 m from the axis of the flywheel. What is the power output of the engine?

Example 7 page 336. Suppose that the phonograph turntable described in Example 2 is coasting (with the motor disengaged) at 33 1/3 rev/min when a stack of 10 phonograph records suddenly drops down on it. What is the angular velocity after the drop? What is the kinetic energy before and after the drop? Each record has a mass of 0.17 kg and a radius of 15.2 cm. Example 9 page 339. In an experiment first performed during the Skylab mission, an astronaut floating freely in weightless conditions in his orbiting spacecraft demonstrates how he can change his rotational velocity by changing his moment of inertia. Initially the astronaut holds his body erect while rotating about his center of mass at a rate of 0.17 rev/s (Figure 13.17a). He then contracts his body to a fetal position (Figure 13.17b). What is his new rate of rotation? What is the change in rotational kinetic energy? Assume that the moment of inertia is 18kg m 2 in the erect position and 5.5kg m 2 in the fetal position.

Example 12 page 341. Suppose that the pipe of the preceding example starts from rest and rolls a distance of 3.00 m along the ramp. What is the total kinetic energy at this instant? What is the translational kinetic energy? What is the kinetic energy of rotation about the center of mass?
