A a paddle for a boat is constructed of a stick of length L and a "quartic" end piece. The end can be thought of as a uniform flat board of mass m that has been cut to form a quartic function given by y = x*, so that the length from the trough (i.e., the y 0 end of the function) to the tip is y = H. To simplify this a little, assume that the stick is massless. This paddle is stood vertically upward on the stick end and attached to a hinge on the floor so that it is free to rotate in the in/out of the page direction. When it is standing straight up that is an unstable equilibrium. A very small infinitesimal push is given to get the paddle moving and it swings downward under gravity (acceleration g). (a) When the paddle is standing vertically upward, what is the position of the center of mass of the paddle? (b) What is the moment of inertia of the paddle for rotations in/out of the page about an axis through the center of mass? (c) What is the angular velocity of the paddle just before…
We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 7.00 kg solid cylinder with diameter of 40.0 cm. The cylinder rotates with negligible friction about a stationary horizontal axis. We tie the free end of the cable to a 15.0 kg block and release the block from rest. As the block falls, the cable unwinds without stretching or slipping.

+ A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N, and a frictional forcef, on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N₂ on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.2 m, a weight of W, = 66.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m= 90 kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following. (a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.)
