The Singapore Flyer is a giant observation wheel (similar to a Ferris wheel) that has 28 capsules and can hold a total of784 passengers. The diameter of the wheel is 150 m and the entire thing rotates one complete revolution in 30 minutes.The rim weighs 7 x 10^5 kg, the capsules each weigh 1x 10^4 kg, and the average person weighs 70 kg. Calculate (a) themagnitude of the angular momentum at full capacity, and (b) the average net external torque applied to the spindle (axle)if it comes to a complete stop in 15 minutes. Write your answers using 3 significant digits.

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 1.5 rev/s. Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg, 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 70 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head. In this latter orientation, she can be modeled as a 45 kg, 20-cm-diameter, 200-cm-tall cylinder.What is her new rotation frequency, in revolutions per second?Express your answer in revolutions per second.
The figure shows a device that can be used to measure the speed of a bullet. The device consists of two rotating disks, separated by a distance of d = 0.922 m, and rotating with an angular speed of 90.8 rad/s. The bullet first passes through the left disk and then through the right disk. It is found that the angular displacement between the two bullet holes is = 0.360 rad. From these data, determine the speed of the bullet. Number i Bullet Units 19 kd + Motor

A rod of mass 5 kg has a length of 3 m. The rod is fixed at its center but is still free to rotate about its axis (1 = 1/2 ML2). The rod is initially at rest until a piece of putty of mass 1.4 kg strikes one end of the rod at a speed of 6.7 m/s. The putty sticks to the rod and the putty-rod combo begins to rotate. What is the final rotational speed of the putty-rod combo? Please select the correct answer from the choices shown below: ⒸA. 1 rad/s OB. 4 rad/s C. 2 rad/s D. 3 rad/s
