5. Big Ben, the nickname for the clock in Elizabeth Tower (named after the Queen in 2012) in London, has an hour hand 2.70 m long with a mass of 60.0 kg and a minute hand 4.50 m long with a mass of 100 kg. Calculate the total rotational kinetic energy of the two hands about the axis of rotation. (You may model the hands as long, thin rods rotated about one end. Assume the hour and minute hands are rotating at a constant rate of one revolution per 12 hours and 60 minutes, respectively.)

2. Consider an arbitrarily shaped object undergoing a rotational motion in the xy plane (see figure below). Let O be a point in the xy plane along the axis of rotation, and P, N, and M are fixed points on the object located at distances r, 0.5 r, and 0.25 r, respectively. Due to the rotational motion of the object, points P, N, and M will move along their circular path. If the linear velocity of point P is vp = 4.5 m/s and it is located at distance r = OP = 1.2 m from the axis of rotation, determine the magnitude of angular velocity of points P, N, and M, and the magnitude of the linear velocity of points N and M. er 45 P I
A machine has a rod-shaped steel blade that rotates about its center. The mass of the blade is 0.75 kg and its length is 0.75 . Calculate its rotational kinetic energy when the blade has reached its operating speed of 4000 rpm.
A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a rotational inertia about her rotation axis of 16.0 kg m2. She then tucks into a small ball, decreasing her rotational inertia to 3.60 kg m2. While tucked she makes two and a half revolutions in 1.20 seconds to complete her dive. If she hadn't tucked, how long would one rotation have taken her? (Give your answer in seconds.)
