A conical pendulum consists of a plumb bob of mass m moving in a circular path in a horizontal plane, as shown in the figure to the right. During the movement, the support wire, of length l, maintains the constant angle θ with the vertical.

The figure below is of an overhead view of a thin uniform rod of length 0.730 m and mass M rotating horizontally at angular speed 20.5 rad/s about an axis through its center. A particle of mass M/3.00 attached to one end is ejected from the rod and travels along a path that is perpendicular to the rod at the instant of ejection. If the particle's speed v, is 6.00 m/s greater than the speed of the end of the rod just after ejection, what is the value of vp? m/s Rotation axis
At latitude 30◦N the distance from the surface of the earth to the axis of rotation,r, is smaller than it is at the equator, by 13% (cos(30◦)≈0.87). If we assume that the angular momentum of a mass m(L=mrv) is conserved as the mass is moved from the equator to latitude 30◦N, how fast is its velocity,v, relative to the ground at 30◦N?
In the figure here, a 26 kg child stands on the edge of a stationary merry-go-round of radius 1.8 m. The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its rotation axis is 160 kg·m2. The child catches a ball of mass 1.5 kg thrown by a friend. Just before the ball is caught, it has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12 m/s, at angle φ = 59 ˚ with a line tangent to the outer edge of the merry-go-round, as shown. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round just after the ball is caught?
A particle of mass m in the figure below slides down a frictionless surface through height h and collides with a uniform vertical rod (of mass M and length d), sticking to it. The rod pivots about point O through an angle θ when it momentarily stops. Find θ in terms of m, M, g, h, d and various constants. (Please type answer no write by hend)
A block of mass m is moving with speed v along a horizontal surface when it collides with a uniform rod of mass 2m and length L attached at one end to a pivot. The surface and pivot have negligible friction. The rod is vertical when the block collides with the end of the rod. The block sticks to the rod, and the block-rod system rotates so that the end of the rod reaches a height h, as shown above. The total rotational inertia of the rod about the pivot is 2mL/3. Express answers in parts (a), (b), and (c) in terms of m, L, v, and physical constants as appropriate. c. Derive an expression for the mechanical energy dissipated during the collision.
A disc of radius R = 0.41 m and of mass M = 1.22 kg is rotating with the initial angular momentum ωi = 0.51 rev/s on a frictionless horizontal plane. You drop a small clay piece of mass m = 0.19 kg vertically, it lands, and is stuck on a point of the rim of the disc at the distance R = 0.41 m from the center of the disc (Fig.9). The initial moment of inertia of the disk about the axis of rotation through its center is Ii = MR2/2. What is the angular velocity of the disc-clay system in rev/s after the collision? Keep three significant figures for the answer. Note the clay piece has negligible size so that it can be treated as a point.
A uniform rod of mass 210 g and length 100 cm is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a fixed vertical axis through its center, perpendicular to its length.
