A bucket of water with total mass 24.0 kg is attached to a rope, which in turn, is wound around a 0.050-m radius cylinder at the top of a well. A crank with a turning radius of 0.35 m is attached to the end of the cylinder. What minimum force directed perpendicular to the crank handle is required to just raise the bucket? (Assume the rope's mass is negligible, that the cylinder turns on frictionless bearings, and that g = 9.8 m/s.)

A person with an axe to grind is using a whetstone. The whetstone is connected to a motor which keeps it rotating at 85 rev/min. The whetstone is a solid cylinder of made of a special type of stone of mass 45 kg and radius 20 cm. The heavy axeblade is being pressed onto the whetstone with a steady force of 25 N directed into the centre of the whetstone. Suddenly, the power to the motor is cut but the person maintains the force of the axe on the whetstone. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the axe and the stone is 0.60. The moment of inertia of a cylinder about it's centre of mass is I = ½MR2. (a) Calculate the torque of the frictional force on the wheel. (b) Calculate the total angle through which the wheel turns from the time the power goes off to the time the whetstone stops rotating. (c) How long does it take for the wheel to stop after the power outage?

An old vinyl record is a thin plastic disk of radius 0.25 m and mass 126 g. It is freely rotating at 45 rev/min. You are able to stop the record from rotating in 6 s by pressing your finer against the rim and exerting a radially directed force of 9 N. (Recommendation: If you don't know what a vinyl record is, please do a Google search for an image to help your understanding.) What is the coefficient of kinetic frictions between the record and your finger??
A way to test the tensile strength of a wire is to place a mass at the end of it and spin the mass with uniform circular motion. The speed at which the wire breaks is a measure of its strength. The maximum frequency of rotation before a certain wire breaks is 35.5 Hz. The wire is 50.5 cm long and has a mass of 0.656 kg. (a) Determine the speed with which the mass moves. (b) Calculate the centripetal force acting on the wire
A potter's wheel—a thick stone disk with a radius of 0.570m and a mass of 118kg—is freely rotating at 41.0rev/min. The potter can stop the wheel in 5.30s by pressing a wet rag against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of 68.1N. Calculate the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheel and the rag.
Two blocks are connected by massless string that is wrapped around a pulley. Block 1 has a mass m1=6.00 kg, block 2 has a mass m2=2.00 kg, while the pulley has a mass of 1.00 kg and a radius of 18.0 cm. When the pulley turns, there is friction in the axel that exerts a torque of magnitude 0.410 N m. If block 1 is released from rest at a height h=1.40 m, how long does it take to drop to the floor?
