To solve this problem, we need to calculate the mass of the sphere given the diameter, torque, number of revolutions, and time. We will use the rotational dynamics principles and formulas.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]I = \frac{2}{5} m r^2[/katex] | The moment of inertia (I) for a solid sphere about an axis through its center is [katex]\frac{2}{5} m r^2[/katex], where [katex]m[/katex] is the mass and [katex]r[/katex] is the radius of the sphere. |
| 2 | [katex]r = \frac{0.72 \, \text{m}}{2} = 0.36 \, \text{m}[/katex] | Convert the diameter of the sphere to radius. This helps in computing the moment of inertia and further calculations. |
| 3 | [katex] \tau = I \alpha[/katex] | Torque ([katex]\tau[/katex]) is related to the angular acceleration ([katex]\alpha[/katex]) by the formula, where [katex]I[/katex] is the moment of inertia. |
| 4 | [katex]\theta = \omega_f t – \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2[/katex] | The angular displacement ([katex] \theta [/katex]) can be expressed in terms of final angular velocity ([katex] \omega_f [/katex]), angular acceleration ([katex] \alpha [/katex]), and time ([katex] t [/katex]). Here, starting from rest simplifies to [katex] \theta = \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2 [/katex]. |
| 5 | [katex]\theta = 160 \times 2\pi \text{ rad} = 1005.31 \text{ rad}[/katex] | Convert the number of revolutions to radians (since [katex]1[/katex] revolution = [katex]2\pi[/katex] radians). |
| 6 | [katex]1005.31 \text{ rad} = \frac{1}{2} \alpha (15.0 \text{ s})^2[/katex] | Use the total revolutions in radians and solve for angular acceleration [katex]\alpha[/katex] using the time elapsed. |
| 7 | [katex]\alpha = \frac{2 \times 1005.31 \text{ rad}}{(15.0 \text{ s})^2} = 8.937 \text{ rad/s}^2[/katex] | Calculate the angular acceleration [katex]\alpha[/katex]. |
| 8 | [katex]\tau = I \alpha \implies 10.8 \text{ Nm} = \frac{2}{5} m (0.36 \text{ m})^2 \times 8.937 \text{ rad/s}^2[/katex] | Plug values of moment of inertia and angular acceleration into the torque equation to solve for mass [katex]m[/katex]. |
| 9 | [katex]m = \frac{10.8 \text{ Nm}}{\frac{2}{5} \times (0.36 \text{ m})^2 \times 8.937 \text{ rad/s}^2} \approx 23.3 \text{ kg}[/katex] | Final step: solve the equation for mass, providing the solution to the problem. |

Young David experimented with slings before tackling Goliath. He found that he could develop an angular speed of \( 8.0 \) \( \text{rev/s} \) in a sling \( 0.60 \) \( \text{m} \) long. If he increased the length to \( 0.90 \) \( \text{m} \), he could revolve the sling only \( 6.0 \) times per second.
A person’s center of mass is easily found by having the person lie on a reaction board. A horizontal, \( 2.3 \) \( \text{m} \)-long, \( 6.1 \) \( \text{kg} \) reaction board is supported only at the ends, with one end resting on a scale and the other on a pivot. A \( 64 \) \( \text{kg} \) woman lies on the reaction board with her feet over the pivot. The scale reads \( 27 \) \( \text{kg} \). What is the distance from the woman’s feet to her center of mass? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A uniform ladder of length L and weight [katex] W = 50 N [/katex] rests against a smooth vertical wall. If the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is [katex] \mu = .4 [/katex].
In both cases, a massless rod is supported by fulcrum, and a 200-kg hanging mass is suspended from the left end of the rod by a cable. A downward force F keeps the rod in rest. The rod in Case A is 50 cm long, and the rod in case B is 40 cm long (each rod is marked at 10-cm intervals). The magnitude of each vertical force F exerted on the rod will be
A wheel of radius R and negligible mass is mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle so that the wheel is in a vertical plane. Three small objects having masses [katex]m[/katex], [katex]M[/katex], and [katex]2M[/katex], respectively, are mounted on the rim of the wheel, as shown above. If the system is in static equilibrium, what is the value of [katex]m[/katex] in terms of [katex]M[/katex] ?

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]
