| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[L = I \omega_0\] | The angular momentum \(L\) is given by the product of the moment of inertia \(I\) and the angular velocity \(\omega_0\). |
| 2 | \[I = m(2l)^2 + 2m(l)^2\] | Calculate the moment of inertia \(I\). The moment of inertia for each disk is \(mr^2\), and the total is the sum of each disk’s moment of inertia about point \(P\). |
| 3 | \[I = 4ml^2 + 2ml^2 = 6ml^2\] | Simplify the expression for the total moment of inertia. |
| 4 | \[L = 6ml^2 \omega_0\] | Substitute the moment of inertia into the angular momentum formula to find the initial angular momentum. |
| 5 | \[\boxed{6ml^2 \omega_0}\] | Final expression for the initial angular momentum. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[f_1 = \mu mg\] | The frictional force on the disk with mass \(m\) is \(\mu mg\). |
| 2 | \[f_2 = \mu (2m)g = 2\mu mg\] | The frictional force on the disk with mass \(2m\) is \(2\mu mg\). |
| 3 | \[\tau = f_2 \cdot l + f_1 \cdot (2l)\] | Calculate the total torque \(\tau\) due to friction using the perpendicular distances \(l\) and \(2l\). |
| 4 | \[\tau = (2\mu mg) \cdot l + (\mu mg) \cdot 2l\] | Substitute the expressions for the frictional forces. |
| 5 | \[\tau = 2\mu mgl + 2\mu mgl = 4\mu mgl\] | Simplify to find the total frictional torque. |
| 6 | \[\boxed{4\mu mgl}\] | Final expression for the frictional torque. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\tau = I \alpha\] | The torque \(\tau\) is equal to the moment of inertia \(I\) multiplied by the angular deceleration \(\alpha\). |
| 2 | \[4\mu mgl = 6ml^2 \alpha\] | Substitute the expressions for torque and moment of inertia. |
| 3 | \[\alpha = \frac{4\mu g}{6l} = \frac{2\mu g}{3l}\] | Solve for angular deceleration \(\alpha\). |
| 4 | \[\omega_0 = \alpha T\] | Set the initial angular velocity equal to the product of angular deceleration and time to come to rest. |
| 5 | \[T = \frac{\omega_0}{\alpha} = \frac{\omega_0 \cdot 3l}{2\mu g}\] | Solve for time \(T\). |
| 6 | \[\boxed{\frac{3l\omega_0}{2\mu g}}\] | Final expression for the time taken to come to rest. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Which of the following must be true for an object at translational equilibrium?
A meter stick of mass 200 grams is balanced at the 40-cm mark when a 100-gram mass is suspended from the 10-cm mark. What is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass of the meter stick? Give your answer in centimeters.
An \( 80 \, \text{kg} \) block is placed \( 2 \, \text{m} \) away from the endpoint of a horizontal steel beam of length \( 6.6 \, \text{m} \) and mass \( 1,450 \, \text{kg} \). The plank makes contact with a vertical wall on one end, and the other endpoint is attached to a massless cable that makes an angle of \( 30^\circ \) with the horizontal and ties into the vertical wall as well. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force between the cable and the wall and of the force between the steel beam and the wall.
A ladder at rest is leaning against a wall at an angle. Which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor?
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.

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]
