| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\omega_1 = 8\,\text{rev/s}\times 2\pi\,\text{rad/rev} = 16\pi\,\text{rad/s}\] | Convert the first angular speed to radians per second using \(2\pi\,\text{rad}=1\,\text{rev}\). |
| 2 | \[\omega_2 = 6\,\text{rev/s}\times 2\pi\,\text{rad/rev} = 12\pi\,\text{rad/s}\] | Convert the second angular speed to radians per second in the same way. |
| 3 | \[v_1 = r_1\,\omega_1 = 0.60\,\text{m}\times 16\pi = 9.6\pi\,\text{m/s}\] | Use \(v = r\omega\) to find the linear speed for the \(0.60\,\text{m}\) sling. |
| 4 | \[v_2 = r_2\,\omega_2 = 0.90\,\text{m}\times 12\pi = 10.8\pi\,\text{m/s}\] | Apply the same formula for the \(0.90\,\text{m}\) sling. |
| 5 | \[\boxed{v_2 > v_1}\] | Since \(10.8\pi>9.6\pi\), the \(6\,\text{rev/s}\) case gives the greater linear speed. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[a_{c1}=r_1\,\omega_1^2\] | Centripetal acceleration is \(a_c = r\omega^2\). |
| 2 | \[a_{c1}=0.60\,(16\pi)^2 = 0.60\times256\pi^2 = 153.6\pi^2\,\text{m/s}^2\] | Substitute \(r_1=0.60\,\text{m}\) and \(\omega_1=16\pi\,\text{rad/s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{a_{c1}\approx1.5\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}^2}\] | Evaluate \(\pi^2\approx9.87\) to obtain a numerical value. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[a_{c2}=r_2\,\omega_2^2\] | Use the same centripetal acceleration formula. |
| 2 | \[a_{c2}=0.90\,(12\pi)^2 = 0.90\times144\pi^2 = 129.6\pi^2\,\text{m/s}^2\] | Insert \(r_2=0.90\,\text{m}\) and \(\omega_2=12\pi\,\text{rad/s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{a_{c2}\approx1.3\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}^2}\] | Calculate numerically to compare with part (b). |

Suppose a solid uniform sphere of mass M and radius R rolls without slipping down an inclined plane starting from rest. The angular velocity of the sphere at the bottom of the incline depends on
A uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is wrapped around the sphere and is pulled with a force F. The string makes an angle of θ with the horizontal. What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the sphere and the surface required for the sphere to start rolling without slipping?
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?
A ball of radius \( r \) rolls on the inside of a circular track of radius \( R \). If the ball starts from rest at the left vertical edge of the track, what will be its speed when it reaches the lowest point of the track, rolling without slipping?

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]
