Chapter 4.2, Problem 1aT

A ruler is placed on a pivot and held at an angle as shown at right. The pivot passes through the center of the ruler.

Predict the motion of the ruler after it is released from rest. Explain your reasoning.

Chapter 4.2, Problem 1aT, A ruler is placed on a pivot and held at an angle as shown at right. The pivot passes through the
Check your prediction by observing the demonstration.

1. Is the angular acceleration of the ruler in a clockwise sense, in a counterclockwise sense, or zero? Explain how you can tell.

What does your answer imply about the net torque on the ruler about the pivot? Explain.

2. What is the direction of the acceleration of the center of mass of the ruler? If a cm = 0 , state that explicitly. Explain how you can tell.

What does your answer imply about the net force acting on the ruler? Explain.

Instruction: Solve for the following problems. Draw FBD (if necessary) and show your complete solutions. 1. A wheel is rotating about an axis that is in the z-direction. The angular velocity wz is -6.00 rad/s at t=0, increases linearly with time, and is +8.00 rad/s at t = 7.00 s. We have taken counterclockwise rotation to be positive. (a) Is the angular acceleration during this time interval positive or negative? (b) During what time interval is the speed of the wheel increasing? Decreasing? (c) What is the angular displacement of the wheel at t = 7.00 s ?
The disk is moving to the left such that it has an angular acceleration αα = 9 rad/s2rad/s2 and angular velocity ωω = 2 rad/srad/s at the instant shown. It does not slip at AA. Suppose that rrr = 0.4 mm .    Part A.) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of point BB. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.   Part B Determine the direction of the acceleration of point BB measured clockwise from the positive xx axis. Express your answer using three significant figures.   thanks for your help! ive been stuck on this problem all day
A hollow sphere with mass M = 3.0 kg, radius R = 15 cm [note units] rolls without slipping down the inclined plane shown above. The cylinder startsfrom rest at a height H=2.0 m. The inclined plane makes an angle  = 35o with the horizontal.a. On the figure below, draw and label the forces acting on the sphere as it rolls down the inclined plane Your arrow should begin at the pointof application of each force. b. Determine the gravitational potential energy of the sphere. Use the point of contact between the sphere and the ground as a referencepoint. c. Use conservation of energy to determine the linear speed of the sphere at the bottom of the ramp. (e.g. Total Energy at the top of theRamp = Rolling Kinetic Energy at the Bottom of the Ramp + Translational Kinetic Energy at the bottom of the ramp). You will need to usethe fact that sphere is rolling without slipping to determine this. d. If the sphere slid down the ramp (without friction) rather than rolled, would you expect the…
