| 1 | \[ \Delta L = \int_{0}^{6} \tau(t)\,dt \] | This is the fundamental relation in rotational dynamics stating that the change in angular momentum \(\Delta L\) is the time-integral (area under the curve) of the net torque \(\tau\) from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 6\) seconds. |
| 2 | \(\tau\ \text{vs.}\ t\ \text{graph}\) | The table provides net torque values at different times; plotting these yields a straight line indicating a linear increase in torque with time. |
| 3 | \(\tau(0) = 0,\; \tau(2) = 1.5,\; \tau(4) = 3.0,\; \tau(6) = 4.5\ \text{(in N\cdot m)}\) | The data shows that the net torque increases uniformly, so the graph from \(t=0\) to \(t=6\) seconds forms a right triangle. |
| 4 | \( \Delta L = \frac{1}{2}\,(\Delta t)\,(\tau_{\text{max}}) \) | Since the net torque increases linearly, the area under the \(\tau\) vs. \(t\) graph (which equals \(\Delta L\)) is the area of a triangle with base \(\Delta t = 6\) s and height \(\tau_{\text{max}} = 4.5\ \text{N\cdot m}\). |
| 5 | \( \Delta L = \frac{1}{2} \times 6\,\text{s} \times 4.5\,\text{N\cdot m} = 13.5\,\text{N\cdot m\cdot s} \) | This calculation gives the numerical value of the change in angular momentum over the 6-second interval. |
| 6 | Option (d): Graph the net torque vs. time and find the area under the curve. | This is the correct method because the area under the \(\tau\) vs. \(t\) graph directly represents the change in angular momentum \(\Delta L\), as derived above. |
| 7 | Incorrect Options: | – Option (a) incorrectly multiplies the maximum torque by the total time, ignoring that the torque is not constant. – Option (b) incorrectly divides the maximum torque by time. – Option (c) finds the slope, which does not yield the change in momentum because the slope represents the rate of change of torque, not the integrated effect over time. |
| 8 | \( \boxed{\Delta L = 13.5\,\text{N\cdot m\cdot s}} \) | This boxed result is the final change in angular momentum and confirms that option (d) is the proper procedure to use the data table. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
The rotating systems, shown in the figure above, differ only in that the two identical movable masses are positioned a distance r from the axis of rotation (left), or a distance r/2 from the axis of rotation (right). What happens if you release the hanging blocks simultaneously from rest?
An isolated spherical star of radius [katex] R_o [/katex], rotates about an axis that passes through its center with an angular velocity of [katex] \omega_o [/katex]. Gravitational forces within the star cause the star’s radius to collapse and decrease to a value [katex] r_o <R_o [/katex], but the mass of the star remains constant. A graph of the star’s angular velocity as a function of time as it collapses is shown. Which of the following predictions is correct about the angular momentum [katex] L [/katex] of the star immediately after the collapse?
A construction worker spins a square sheet of metal of mass 0.040 kg with an angular acceleration of 10.0 rad/s2 on a vertical spindle (pin). What are the dimensions of the sheet if the net torque on the sheet is 1.00 N·m? Assume that the moment of inertia of a rectangle is [katex] I = \frac{1}{12}M(a^2+b^2) [/katex]
A horizontal, uniform board of weight 125 N and length 4 m is supported by vertical chains at each end. A person weighing 500 N is sitting on the board. The tension in the right chain is 250 N. How far from the left end of the board is the person sitting?
Which of the following must be true for an object at translational equilibrium?

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]
