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. The spherical shell rolled up the incline without slipping to a vertical height of 0.46 m before stopping. The ramp has a length of 1.8 m along the incline. 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.

If you hold your arm outstretched with your palm upward, the force to keep your arm from falling comes from your deltoid muscle. Assume that the arm with hand has mass 4.25 kg and the distances and angles shown. What is the magnitude of the torque must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
The figure below shows a fisherman with a fishing pole that makes an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. The distance from the fisherman's hand to the tip of the pole is L = 1.89 m. A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of F = 119 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the fisherman's hand?
A motorcyclist is traveling along a road and accelerates for 6.94 s to pass another cyclist. The angular acceleration of each wheel is +8.39 rad/s2, and, just after passing, the angular velocity of each is +80.6 rad/s, where the plus signs indicate counterclockwise directions.

A wheel of radius 0.447 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is 0.0458 kg-m2. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a 3.00 kg block that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force of magnitude P = 2.91 N is applied to the block as shown in the figure, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Take the clockwise direction to be the negative direction and assume the string does not slip on the wheel.

Two Thin rectangular sheets (0.28m x 0.47 m) are identical. In the first sheet the axis of rotation lies along the 0.28 inside, and in the second it lies along 0.47m side. The same torque is applied to each sheet. The first sheet starting from rest reaches its final angular velocity in 5.2 s. How long does it take for the second seat starting from rest to reach the same Angularer velocity?
Wile E. Coyote wants to flatten the Road Runner. Wile E. puts food at a pre-determined distance from the edge of a cliff. While the Road Runner eats the food, Wile E. pushes a log down the hill. It rolls without slipping. The radius of the log is 0.3 m. The mass of the log is 80 kg. The rotational inertia of the log is given by I = ½ MR2 . The translational speed of the log just before it leaves the cliff horizontally is 16 m/s. The Road Runner is 10 m below the cliff. If the log is to successfully hit the Road Runner, the food must be place at a precise location from the base of the cliff which you will determine. a. Use only energy considerations and the fact that the log does not slip as it rolls to determine the height it started from, h, before it went over the cliff. b. Determine how far from the edge of the cliff the food needs to be placed so the log lands on the Road Runner. The rotating motion of the log in the air does not affect the motion of the log once it is in the air.…
In the figure, block 1 has mass m1 = 0.460 kg, block 2 has mass m2 = 0.500 kg, and the pulley, which is mounted on a horizontal axle with negligible friction, has radius R = 0.0500 m. Tension T1, the tension force on block 1, is 4.54N. Tension T2, the tension force on block 2, is 4.87N. What is the net torque acting on the pulley? Please note that I know that the answer is to be that taunet = -T1R + T2R Why is the torque associated with T1 negative when it produces a counterclockwise rotation, and the torque associated with T2 positive when it produces a clockwise rotation? I thought that if the direction of rotation was counterclockwise, then the torque is positive, and if the direction was clockwise, then the torque is negative.
