A stick is resting on a concrete step with 2 of its total lengthL hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the endof the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip.A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on theother end of the stick, which results in the stick comingmomentarily to rest at 0 = 36.1° with respect to thehorizontal, as shown in the figure.Use g 9.81 m/s².If the mass of each bug is 2.92 times the mass of the stick andthe stick is 17.5 cm long, what is the magnitude a of theangular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown?απFigure is not to scale.Ꮎrad/s²

Ant-Man is walking around on top of a wooden plank that rests atop two thin, vertical steel pillars, which are bolted into the ground. Ant-Man's mass is m₁ = 80.0 kg, but he is small enough to be treated as a point particle. The plank (m₂ = 11.7 kg) has a length of L = 2.44 m, with the left end flush against the edge of the left pillar. The separation distance between the pillars is d 1.50 m. T Suppose that Ant-Man walks far enough out from the right pillar so that the plank is just about to start rotating. What will be the magnitude of the force from each of the pillars on the plank at this time? (Hint: begin your analysis by thinking about the torques acting on the plank, and note that the forces from the two pillars are not the same.) How far out from the right pillar could Ant-Man walk before the plank starts to rotate?
A wooden plank of length 240 cm lies on the edge of a crate with one-third of the plank's length hanging over the crate's edge. A cat with a mass of 4.0 kg walks to the very edge just before she tips the plank over. What is the mass of the plank?
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 82.0 kg) places a 6.60 m aluminum ladder (mass 11.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes (in N) of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom? top N bottom N
A car with tires whose radius is 32 cm is traveling along a highway at 24.5 m/s. The mass of the tire is equal to 12.0 kg and it's mass is distributed around the outer diameter so that it's moment of inertia is I=MR². (a) What is the angular velocity of the tires? (b) Compute the rotational kinetic energy of the tire (c) Compute the total kinetic energy of the tire (d) How many revolutions will the tires make in six minutes? (e) Consider now that the car brakes with an angular acceleration of -25.5 rad/sec^2 and comes to a stop; how many revolutions will the tires have made between the time the brakes are applied and when the car stops?
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 ( Ibar=ml² where l is the length of the bar). When the skater's hands and arms are brought in and wrapped around their body to execute the spin, the hands and arms can be considered a thin-walled hollow cylinder. The hands and arms have a combined mass 10 kg. When outstretched, they span 2.1 m. When wrapped, they form a cylinder of radius 21 cm. The moment of inertia about the rotation axis of the remainder of the body is constant and equal to 0.6 kg-m2. If the original angular speed is 0.5 rev/s, what is the final angular speed? 00f= rev/s Determine how much the figure skater's rotational KE increased. [NOTE: We express energy in J. To get J, you must convert your angular velocities to the appropriate mks. units which are rad/s.] ΔΚΕ- =
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 top is a toy that is made to spin on its pointed end by pulling on a string wrapped around the body of the top. The string has a length of 63 cm and is wrapped around the top at a place where its radius is 2.0 cm. The thickness of the string is negligible. The top is initially at rest. Someone pulls the free end of the string, thereby unwinding it and giving the top an angular acceleration of +14 rad/s2. What is the final angular velocity of the top when the string is completely unwound?
yo-yo with an inner cylinder of r = 3.5 cm and outer radius of R = 6.50cm is at rest on a theta = 30 degree incline. Itis held in place by friction and the tension in the string that is wrapped around its inner cylinder, as shown in the figure. Assume that the positive x-direction points down the incline. Determine the friction force if the mass of the yo-yo is 420g.
A solid sphere, made of acrylic plastic with a density of 1.1 g/cm3,1.1 g/cm3, has a radius of 5.0 cm.5.0 cm. A very small "eyelet" is screwed into the surface of the sphere and a horizontal support rod is passed through the eyelet, allowing the sphere to pivot around this fixed axis, as shown in the figure. If the sphere is displaced slightly from equilibrium on the surface of Earth, determine the period ?T of its harmonic motion when it is released.
Consider a teeter-totter that is made out of pine, shown below. A pineapple sits on one side of the teeter-totter, a distance 1.38 m from the pivot point, while an apple (non-pine) sits on the other side, a distance of 2.65 m from the pivot. If the pineapple has a mass 125 g, what must the mass of the apple be in order to balance the teeter-totter (i.e. to maintain rotational equilibrium)?
