On a part-time job, you are asked to bring a cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m^3, length 89.2 cm and diameter 2.45 cm from a storage room to a machinist. Calculate the weight of the rod, w. Assume the free-fall acceleration is g = 9.80 m/s^2. Express you answer in N.
A can full of soda (total mass is about 375 g, where 355 g comes from the liquid and 20 g from the aluminum can, radius is about 33 mm) is released on a slope. The slope has an angle of 30° of inclination and a length of 40 cm. Due to friction, the can roll over the slope without slipping. Determine the time it takes for the can to reach the bottom of the slope.Repeat the calculation for the empty can (m = 20 g and R = 33 mm). Note: In both cases, ignore the contribution from the top and bottom metallicparts of the can (disks) to the moment of inertia.
A speedboat with a mass of 545 kg545 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 32.7 m32.7 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 13700 N,13700 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×?2,(450 kg/m)×v2, where ?v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.
5. Consider a frictionless ice ball with a radius R = 10 m. A box initially at rest begins to slip from the top of the ice ball, and follows the surface until it loses contact. Find the height (with the ground as the reference) of the box at the moment it leaves the surface of the ice ball. [Hint: on the verge of losing contact the normal force on the box from the ice ball becomes zero].

A block of mass mA=20kg on an inclined plane and a bucket of mass mbucket=16kg are attached to the ends of a massless string passing through a massless pulley as shown in the figure below. The inclined plane makes an angle of θ=46o with the horizontal and the coefficients of kinetic and static friction are μk=0.21 and μs=0.58. The system is initially at rest and a student starts to fill the bucket with balls, each of whose mass is 100 grams, one at a time until the system starts to move. Determine the number of balls the student placed in the bucket. Take g=9.80m/s2 and please note that the number balls must be an integer!
Two blocks, A and B, with masses of MA = 2M and MB = M, respectively, are connected together by a massless and non-elastic cord, as shown in the drawing. Block A lies on a table top, while block B hangs in the string one height, H above the floor. The massless pulley is stuck and thus can not achieve any translational movement, but it can rotate freely and frictionlessly about its own center. Assume that the pulley rotates so that the cord does not slide on the pulley. The system starts at rest before it is released. Assume that block A slides frictionlessly on the table top. Assume that the table top is long enough for block A to still be on the table when block B hits the floor. Show by means of energy conservation that the speed of the blocks as block B hits the floor is given by: v = squarerot 2gH / 3 question Explain briefly why the height of block A does not matter.
