1 | \(\tau_{\text{beam}} = F_{\text{beam}} \cdot r_{\text{beam}} \cdot \sin(\theta)\) | Torque due to the beam. \(F_{\text{beam}} = m_{\text{beam}} \cdot g\) and \(r_{\text{beam}} = \frac{L}{2}\). |
2 | \(F_{\text{beam}} = m_{\text{beam}} \cdot g\) | Force from the beam’s weight. \(m_{\text{beam}} = 500 \, \text{kg}\), \(g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\). |
3 | \(F_{\text{beam}} = 500 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 4900 \, \text{N}\) | Weight of the beam. |
4 | \(r_{\text{beam}} = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{6.00 \, \text{m}}{2} = 3.00 \, \text{m}\) | Distance from bolt to the center of mass of the beam. |
5 | \(\tau_{\text{beam}} = 4900 \, \text{N} \cdot 3.00 \, \text{m}\) | Torque due to the beam. |
6 | \(\tau_{\text{beam}} = 14700 \, \text{Nm}\) | Torque exerted by the beam. |
7 | \(\tau_{\text{worker}} = F_{\text{worker}} \cdot r_{\text{worker}} \cdot \sin(\theta)\) | Torque due to the worker. \(F_{\text{worker}} = m_{\text{worker}} \cdot g\), \(r_{\text{worker}} = L\). |
8 | \(F_{\text{worker}} = m_{\text{worker}} \cdot g\) | Force due to the worker’s weight. \(m_{\text{worker}} = 70 \, \text{kg}\). |
9 | \(F_{\text{worker}} = 70 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 686 \, \text{N}\) | Weight of the worker. |
10 | \(r_{\text{worker}} = L = 6.00 \, \text{m}\) | Distance from the bolt to the worker. |
11 | \(\tau_{\text{worker}} = 686 \, \text{N} \cdot 6.00 \, \text{m}\) | Torque due to the worker. |
12 | \(\tau_{\text{worker}} = 4116 \, \text{Nm}\) | Torque exerted by the worker. |
13 | \(\tau_{\text{total}} = \tau_{\text{beam}} + \tau_{\text{worker}} = 14700 \, \text{Nm} + 4116 \, \text{Nm}\) | Total torque about the bolt. |
14 | \(\tau_{\text{total}} = 18816 \, \text{Nm}\) | Final total torque about the bolt. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
The angular velocity of an electric motor is \( \omega = \left(20 – \frac{1}{2} t^2 \right) \, \text{rad/s} \), where \(t\) is in seconds.
When a fan is turned off, its angular speed decreases from \( 10 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) to \( 6.3 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) in \( 5.0 \) \( \text{s} \). What is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the fan?
A hoop with a mass [katex]m[/katex] and unknown radius is rolling without slipping on a flat surface with an angular speed [katex]\omega[/katex]. The hoop encounters a hill and continues to roll without slipping until it reaches a maximum height [katex]h[/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 system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a piece of clay moving toward it, as shown in the figure above. The outside edge of the disk is moving at a linear speed \( v \), and the clay is moving at speed \( \frac{v}{2} \). The clay sticks to the outside edge of the disk. How does the angular momentum of the system after the clay sticks compare to the angular momentum of the system before the clay sticks, and what is an explanation for the comparison?

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]
