An entertainer has perched a 281 g spinning plate on top of a pole. The plate has a radius of 12 cm and is spinning at 68 rpm. A 277 g cup with a moment of inertia of 0.005 kg•m2 is then placed in the center of the plate. The cup beings to spin with the plate. Once the two objects are spinning together, what rate of spin, in revolutions per minute do they have? Answer to one decimal place
A solid disk of mass M=0.600 kg and radius R=0.350 m is suspended vertically and is free to rotate about its center without friction. A point object that has the same mass as the disk is placed at an angle θi=35.0∘ clockwise from the top along the rim, causing the disk to rotate. The acceleration due to gravity is g=9.80 m/s2. What is the angular speed ?fωf of the disk when the object is directly below the center of the disk.
A wheel of radius 0.447 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is 0.0458 kg-m2. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a 3.00 kg block that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force of magnitude P = 2.91 N is applied to the block as shown in the figure, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Take the clockwise direction to be the negative direction and assume the string does not slip on the wheel.
A disk is rotating about a vertical axis of rotation without displacing with an initial angular velocity of 10 rad/s. A 40 kg child is sitting 2 meters away from the axis of rotation. The rotational inertia of the disk is 50 kgm2 and the rotational inertia of the child is 80 kgm2. Another 40 kg child jumps onto the disk 3 meters away from the axis of rotation with a rotational inertia of 180 kgm2. Calculate the new angular velocity of the disk and two children.

A cylinder has a cone removed from it. The cylinder and the conical hole have the same radius (2.06 meters) and height (4.56 meters). The cylinder has a density of 447 kg/m3. What is the rotational inertia of the cylinder with the cone removed in kg m2? You can set your origin at the tip of the cone, which is also the center of the base of the cylinder.

A thin rod has a length of 0.837 m and rotates in a circle on a frictionless tabletop. The axis is perpendicular to the length of the rod at one of its ends. The rod has an angular velocity of 0.249 rad/s and a moment of inertia of 1.11 x 10-3 kg·m2. A bug standing on the axis decides to crawl out to the other end of the rod. When the bug (whose mass is 5 x 10-3 kg) gets where it's going, what is the change in the angular velocity of the rod?

A child's top is held in place upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of ?=2.96 mm. Two strings are wrapped around the axle, and the top is set spinning by applying ?=1.90 of constant tension to each string. If it takes 0.590s for the string to unwind, how much angular momentum ? does the top acquire? Assume that the strings do not slip as the tension is applied. Point P is located on the outer surface of the top, a distance ℎ=27.0 mm above the ground. The angle that the outer surface of the top makes with the rotation axis of the top is ?=28. If the final tangential speed ? of point P is 1.45 m/s, what is the top's moment of inertia ??
