A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outstretched hands are 0.765 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 20.5. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after she pulls her arms in?

A trap-jaw ant has mandibles that can snap shut with some force, as you might expect from its name. The formidable snap is good for more than capturing prey. When an ant snaps its jaws against the ground, the resulting force can launch the ant into the air. Here are typical data: An ant rotates its mandible, of length 1.30 mm and mass 130 μg (which we can model as a uniform rod rotated about its end), at a high angular speed. As the tip strikes the ground, it undergoes an angular acceleration of 3.5 x 108 rad/s2. If we assume that the tip of the mandible hits perpendicular to the ground, what is the force on the tip? How does this compare to the weight of a 12 mg ant?

A string is wrapped around the central axis of a platform that is free to rotate. A 100 g mass attached to the string falls, exerting a torque on the spinning platform. The empty platform has a rotational inertia of 1.75 g·m2. Two masses, m1 = 25 g and m2 = 35 g, are attached to the top of the platform a distance of 15 cm from the central axis. Once the 100 g mass falls a distance of 1.31 m, the string detaches from the central axis. At this point the 100 g mass is moving downward at a speed of 0.96 m/s. Find the maximum rotational speed of the rotating platform with masses m1 and m2 attached.
