Consider an Atwood's machine, with two different masses, m1=1.0 kg and m2=2.0 kg suspended from a uniform solid disk pulley with mass = 1.0 kg, by a string passing over the pulley. The pulley has radius r = 10cm and a moment of inertia about its axis of rotation.

A turntable must spin at 33.3 rev/min (3.49 rad/s) to play an old-fashioned vinyl record. How much torque must the motor deliver if the turntable is to reach its final angular speed in 2.30 revolutions, starting from rest? The turntable is a uniform disk of diameter 30.5 cm and mass 0.250 kg. N-m
A uniform spherical shell of mass M-13.0 kg and radius R = 0.970 m can rotate about a vertical axis on frictionless bearings (see the figure). A massless cord passes around the equator of the shell, over a pulley of rotational inertia /-0.110 kg-m² and radius r = 0.140 m, and is attached to a small object of mass m 3.70 kg. There is no friction on the pulley's axle; the cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the object when it has fallen a distance 1.11 m after being released from rest? Use energy considerations. Number Units m/s M, R C Ne Ur Qu Nu

A 20 kg pulley with a 0.5 m radius is initially at rest. The rotational inertia of the pulley is 0.47 mr^2. A 10kg box hangs from a rope that is wrapped around the pulley that is also initially at rest. The box falls a set distance and gains a velocity of 8 m/s. Calculate the distance that the box fell to reach that velocity. Answer must use the correct SI units.
A spherical shell with 0.13 kg of mass and 0.050 m of radius rolled without slipping on a horizontal floor. A ramp was placed on the floor.

Find the speed of the spherical shell before it reached the ramp. Hint: the spherical shell has rotational kinetic energy. The rotational inertia of a spherical shell is (2/3)mr^2.

A child is playing with a 2.00 kg spinning toy (yo-yo) consisting of an axle connected to two disks, and a string looped around the axle, as shown below. The toy moves up and down as the toy winds and unwinds the string. It has a moment of inertia I = 2.72 X 10-4 kg-m2. At the time shown below, the toy is rotating with an angular speed w = 29.2 rad/s. The string is wound around the axel, whose radius is 2.50 cm. Find the total kinetic energy (rotational plus translational) of the toy as it moves up the string at that point.
