|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(\alpha = 2\pi \, \text{rad/s}^2\) | Given angular acceleration. |
| 2 | \(r = 2 \, \text{m}\) | Given radius of the wheel. |
| 3 | \(t = 3 \, \text{s}\) | Given time period over which the wheel accelerates. |
| 4 | \(\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\) | Formula for angular displacement. Here, \( \omega_i \) is the initial angular velocity which is zero because the wheel is initially at rest. |
| 5 | \(\theta = 0 \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2\pi \cdot (3)^2\) | Substituting the given values into the formula. Since \( \omega_i = 0 \), the first term vanishes. |
| 6 | \(\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2\pi \cdot 9\) | Simplifying the expression for angular displacement. |
| 7 | \(\theta = 9\pi \, \text{rad}\) | Calculate the angular displacement after 3 seconds. |
| 8 | \(\Delta x = r \theta\) | Formula for linear displacement, utilizing the relationship between linear and angular displacement. |
| 9 | \(\Delta x = 2 \cdot 9\pi\) | Substituting the values of \( r \) and \( \theta \) to find the linear displacement. |
| 10 | \(\Delta x = 18\pi \, \text{m}\) | Final calculation of the distance traveled by the wheel after 3 seconds. |
| 11 | Option (d) | The correct answer is \( 18\pi \, \text{m} \). This corresponds to choice (d). |

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.
The object shown in the diagram below consists of a cylinder of mass \( 100 \) \( \text{kg} \) and radius \( 25.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) connected by four thin rods, each of mass \( 5.00 \) \( \text{kg} \) and length \( 0.75 \) \( \text{m} \), to a thin-outer ring of mass \( 20.0 \) \( \text{kg} \). A small chunk of metal of mass \( 1.00 \) \( \text{kg} \) is welded to the outer ring. Determine the moment of inertia of the entire assembly about the center of the inner cylinder, treating the metal chunk as a point mass. Hint: The moment of inertia of a disk about it center is \(\tfrac{1}{2} M R^2\), a thin rod about it center is \(\tfrac{1}{12}ML^2\), and a thin hoop about its center is \(I = MR^2\). Use only algebra and do not use “·” in your math.
A windmill blade with a rotational inertia of \( 6.0 \) \( \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \) has an initial angular velocity of \( 8 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) in the clockwise direction. It is then given an angular acceleration of \( 4 \) \( \text{rad/s}^2 \) in the clockwise direction for \( 10 \) seconds. What is the change in rotational kinetic energy of the blade over this time interval?
A uniform copper disk of radius \( R \) has a moment of inertia \( I \) around an axis passing through the center of the disk perpendicular to its plane. If the radius of the disk were only \( \dfrac{R}{2} \), but the thickness were the same, what would be the moment of inertia in terms of \( I \)? Hint: The moment of inertia of a solid disk about its center is \(\frac{1}{2} M R^{2}\).

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]
