A bowling ball (which we can regard as a uniform sphere) has a mass of 3.18 kg and a diameter of 0.216 m. A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. If you connect these two balls with a lightweight rod, what must be the distance between the center of the bowling ball and the center of the baseball so that the system of the two balls and the rod will balance at the point where the rod touches the surface of the bowling ball? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

In a playground, there is a small merry-go-round of radius 1.60 m and mass 150 kg. Its radius of gyration is 1.20 m. A child of mass 42.0 kg runs at a speed of 2.50 m/s along a path that is tangent to the rim of the initially stationary merry-go-round and then jumps on. Neglect friction between the bearings and the shaft of the merry-go-round. Calculate (a) the rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its axis of rotation, (b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the running child about the axis of rotation of the merry-go- round, and (c) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and child after the child has jumped on.

The ropes in (Figure 1) are each wrapped around a cylinder, and the two cylinders are fastened together The smaller cylinder has a diameter of 10 cm and a mass of 6.0 kg the larger cylinder has a diameter of 20 cm and a mass of 19 kg What is the angular acceleration of the cylinders? Assume that the cylinders turn on a frictionless axle.
The outstretched hands and arms of a figure skater preparing for a spin can be considered a slender rod pivoting about an axis through its center (Figure 1). When his hands and arms are brought in and wrapped around his body to execute the spin, the hands and arms can be considered a thin-walled hollow cylinder. His hands and arms have a combined mass 8.0 kg. When outstretched, they span 1.6 m ; when wrapped, they form a thin-walled hollow cylinder of radius 26 cm. The moment of inertia about the rotation axis of the remainder of his body is constant and equal to 0.4 kg⋅m2. If his original angular speed is 0.30 rev/s, what is his final angular speed?
A student holds a spinning bicycle wheel while sitting motionless on a stool that is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its center (see the figure below). The wheel spins with an angular speed of 16.1 rad/s and its initial angular momentum is directed up. The wheel's moment of inertia is 0.130 kg · m2 and the moment of inertia for the student plus stool is 3.10 kg · m2. Apply conservation of angular momentum. A)Find the student's final angular speed (in rad/s) after he turns the wheel over so that it spins at the same speed but with its angular momentum directed down. ___________rad/s B)Will the student's final angular momentum be directed up or down?
A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 50.0 cm mark. With two 6.35 g coins stacked over the 11.5 cm mark, the stick is found to balance at the 43.4 cm mark. What is the mass of the meter stick?
A wood plank has a length of 4.2 m and a mass of 14.3 kg. The plank is balanced between two saw horses. One saw horse is positioned directly under one end of the plank, and the other is located a distance d1 = 3.2 m away. A child with a mass of 29 kg walks along the plank, as if it were a balance beam. What is the furthest distance d2 (in meters) from the end of the plank that the child can walk before the plank tips and falls? NOTE: When the plank starts to tip, one of the forces becomes zero.
A bowling ball (which we can regard as a uniform sphere) has a mass of 4.54 kg and a diameter of 0.216 m. A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg.

A 550.0 g bird is flying horizontally at 2.50 m/s, not paying much attention, when it suddenly flies into a stationary vertical bar, hitting it 25.0 cm below the top. The bar is uniform, 0.700 m long, has a mass of 1.50 kg kg, and is hinged at its base. The collision stuns the bird so that it just drops to the ground afterward (but soon recovers to fly happily away). What is the angular velocity of the bar just after it is hit by the bird? Express your answer in radians per second. W1 = rad/s
