| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[I_{cm}=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\] | Rotational inertia of a solid disk about its center is \( \frac{1}{2}MR^{2} \). |
| 2 | \[I_{cm}=\frac{1}{2}(2\,\text{kg})(4\,\text{m})^{2}=16\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\] | Substitute \(M=2\,\text{kg}\) and \(R=4\,\text{m}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{I_{cm}=16\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}}\] | Final answer for part (a). |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[I=I_{cm}+Md^{2}\] | Use the parallel-axis theorem; \(d\) is the perpendicular distance from the center. |
| 2 | \[I=16+ (2)(0.5)^{2}=16+0.5=16.5\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\] | Insert \(I_{cm}=16\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\), \(M=2\,\text{kg}\), and \(d=0.5\,\text{m}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{I=16.5\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}}\] | Final answer for part (b). |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[I=I_{cm}+Md^{2}\] | Apply the parallel-axis theorem again. |
| 2 | \[I=16+ (2)(3.75)^{2}=16+28.125=44.125\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\] | Substitute \(d=3.75\,\text{m}\) along with previous values. |
| 3 | \[\boxed{I=44.125\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}}\] | Final answer for part (c). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Two equal-magnitude forces are applied to a door at the doorknob. The first force is applied perpendicular to the door, and the second force is applied at \( 30^\circ \) to the plane of the door. Which force exerts the greater torque about the door hinge?
Old-fashioned clocks and watches have an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. What is the angular frequency of the second hand?
A boy is sitting at a distance [katex] d_1 [/katex] from the fulcrum, and girl is sitting at a distance [katex] d_2 [/katex] from the fulcrum, with [katex] d_1 > d_2 [/katex]. The seesaw is level, with the two ends at the same height. Derive an equation for the minimum mass of the seesaw that will keep it balanced with the two children on it.
A point on the edge of a disk rotates around the center of the disk with an initial angular velocity of 3 rad/s clockwise. The graph shows the point’s angular acceleration as a function of time. The positive direction is considered to be counterclockwise. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible.
A light string is attached to a massive pulley of known rotational inertia \( I_P \), as shown in the figure. A student must determine the relationship between the torque exerted on the pulley and the change in the pulley’s angular velocity when the torque is applied for \( 2.0 \) \( \text{s} \). In addition to a stopwatch to measure the time interval, what two measurements could the student make in order to determine the relationship? Select two answers.
\(16\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\)
\(16.5\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\)
\(44.125\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\)

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
