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 rotating, rigid body makes 10 complete revolutions in 10 seconds. What is its average angular velocity?
A child of mass 3 kg rotates on a platform of 10 kg. They start walking towards the center while the platform is rotating. Which of the following could possibly decrease the total angular momentum of the child-platform system?
A uniform ladder with mass \( m_2 \) and length \( L \) rests against a smooth wall. A do-it-yourself enthusiast of mass \( m_1 \) stands on the ladder a distance \( d \) from the bottom (measured along the ladder). The ladder makes an angle \( \theta \) with the ground. There is no friction between the wall and the ladder, but there is a frictional force of magnitude \( f \) between the floor and the ladder. \( N_1 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder, and \( N_2 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder. Throughout the problem, consider counterclockwise torques to be positive.
A platform is initially rotating on smooth ice with negligible friction, as shown above. A stationary disk is dropped directly onto the center of the platform. A short time later, the disk and platform rotate together at the same angular velocity, as shown at right in the figure. How does the angular momentum of only the platform change, if at all, after the disk drops? And what is the best justification.
A uniform solid cylinder of mass [katex] M [/katex] and radius [katex] R [/katex] is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is attached to the cylinder and is wrapped around it. The string is then pulled with a constant force [katex] F [/katex] , causing the cylinder to rotate about its center of mass. After the cylinder has rotated through an angle [katex] \theta [/katex], what is the kinetic energy of the cylinder in terms of [katex] F [/katex] and [katex] \theta [/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]
