Problem
3
A
spool
of
rope
sits
on
the
ground
with
the
end
of
the
rope
lying
on
the
top
edge
of
the
spool.
A
person
takes
the
end
of
the
rope
and
walks
a
distance
with
it,
while
the
spool
rolls
behind
the
person
without
slipping.
a) What
length
of
the
rope
unwinds
from
the
spool?
b) How
far
does
the
center
of
mass
of
the
spool
moves?
Problem
4
The
ends
of
a
uniform
steel
beam
of
mass
rest
on
two
vertical
supports
of
equal
height.
A
half
of
an
identical
beam
is
resting
on
top
of
the
beam,
as
shown.
What
is
the
vertical
support
force
at
each
end?
Problem
5
!
Show
that
the
pressure
of
an
ideal
gas
can
be
written
as
= ! ! ,
where
is
its
density
and
is
the
rms
speed
of
the
molecules.
Problem
6
Along
the
curve
from
a

c,
the
work
done
by
gas

while
the
heat
!"
is
added
to
it.
The
work
done
along
the
path
is
!"# .
a) What
is
!"#
for
path

Problem
7
A
thermally
insulated
container
consists
of
two
separated
halves.
The
right
half
is
evacuated
while
the
left
half
contains
an
ideal
gas
at
temperature
! .
A
small
hole
is
opened
in
the
separator
letting
the
gas
to
flow
through.
Assuming
no
heat
exchange
with
the
walls
and
the
separator,
find
the
final
temperature
!"#$%
of
the
system
once
it
reaches
the
equilibrium.

Problem
9
A
parallel-plate
capacitor
with
capacitance
is
charged
to
potential
and
is
then
disconnected
from
the
circuit.
Calculate
work
done
by
slowly
changing
the
distance
between
the
plates
from
to
! ?
Assume
that
and
!
are
much
smaller
than
the
linear
dimensions
of
the
capacitor
plates
so
that
the
edge
effects
can
be
neglected.
Problem

circuit
below
is
designed
to
measure
the
unknown
resistor

known.
!
and
!
are
fixed
and
!
is
variable.
It
is
adjusted

zero
current
when
the
switch
is
closed.
Find
!
