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. |

A solid sphere \( I = 0.06 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \) spins freely around an axis through its center at an angular speed of \( 20 \, \text{rad/s} \). It is desired to bring the sphere to rest by applying a friction force of magnitude \( 2.0 \, \text{N} \) to the sphere’s outer surface, a distance of \( 0.30 \, \text{m} \) from the sphere’s center. How much time will it take the sphere to come to rest?

If the 1 meter long stick is at rest when horizontal and the ball leaves the stick with a velocity of 10 m/s, what angular acceleration must the stick experience?

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]
