Problem #1Two identical uniform rods of length L and mass m are connected at the top by a revolutejoint, also of mass m that itself is connected to a fixed support by a vertical spring ofnatural length L and having the stiffness constant k. An ideal spring of natural length 2Land having stiffness constant also equal to k connects the bottoms of each rod. This isshown in the figure below.The two-rod/two-spring/revolute joint systemAssume that gravity acts downward.Assume that throughout the motion, the bottom spring always remains horizontal so thatthe angle between each rod and the negative vertical is e and that 0

Engineers are designing a system by which a falling mass m imparts kinetic energy to a rotating uniform drum to which it is attached by thin, very light wire wrapped around the rim of the drum (the figure (Figure 1)). There is no appreciable friction in the axle of the drum, and everything starts from rest. This system is being tested on earth, but it is to be used on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s2. In the earth tests, when m is set to 13.0 kg and allowed to fall through 5.00 m, it gives 300.0 J of kinetic energy to the drum. If the system is operated on Mars, through what distance would the 13.0-kg mass have to fall to give the same amount of kinetic energy to the drum? How fast would the 13.0-kg mass be moving on Mars just as the drum gained 300.0 J of kinetic energy?

In the figure, a motor weighing 3000 N hangs on a chain attached by an O-ring to two other chains, one attached to the ceiling and the other to the wall. Calculate the tensile force acting on the chain attached to the wall. Consider that the weights of the chains and the ring are negligible.
A uniform rod of length 1.20 m and mass 2.00 kg is free to rotate about a frictionless axle through one end. From the horizontal position, the rod is released from rest. A small piece of putty of mass 0.500 kg is suspended from the pivot by a string of negligible mass and length 0.800 m, as shown in the figure below. The putty sticks to the rod on contact. Determine the amount of mechanical energy dissipated in the collision. 1.20 m 0.800 m putty
A thin rod of length 1.40 m and mass 189 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed 4.66 rad/s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod's kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises. (a) Number (b) Number Units Units
Two masses, m1 and m2, are attached to a 1.95-m-long steel wire which runs over a light, frictionless pulley as shown. Assume the cross section of the wire is circular with a diameter of d = 4.00 mm, m1 = 3.30 kg, and m2 = 4.90 kg. The masses are released from rest and allowed to move freely. Compared with its length before the masses were attached, by how much has the wire stretched (in mm) while the masses are in\
