Chapter 11, Problem 39P
Biomechanical engineers have developed micromechanical devices for measuring blood flow as an alternative to dye injection following angioplasty to remove arterial plaque. One experimental device consists of a 300-μm-diameter, 2.0-μm-thick silicon rotor inserted into blood vessels. Moving blood spins the rotor, whose rotation rate provides a measure of blood flow. This device exhibited an 800-rpm rotation rate in tests with water flows at several m/s. Treating the rotor as a disk, what was its

The Bunchberry flower has the fastest moving parts ever observed in a plant. Initially, the
stamens are held by the petals in a bent position, storing elastic energy like a coiled spring. When
the petals release, the tips of the stamen act like medieval catapults, flipping through a 60° angle
in just 0.30 ms.to launch pollen from anther sacs at their ends. The human eye just sees a burst
of pollen; only high speed photography reveals the details. We can model the stamen tip as a
1.0 mm long, 10µg rigid rod with a 10µg anther sac
at the end. Although oversimplifying, we'll assume a

- Most gasoline engines in today's automobiles are belt driven. This means that the crankshaft, a rod which rotates and drives the pistons, is timed to the camshaft, the mechanism which actuates the valves, by means of a belt. Starting from rest, assume it takes t = 0.0760 s for a crankshaft with a radius of r1 = 4.75 cm to reach 1350 rpm. If the belt does not stretch or slip, calculate the angular acceleration a2 of the larger camshaft, which has a radius of r2 = 9.50 cm, during this time period. a2 = rad/s?arrow_forwardA high-speed drill reaches 2410 rpm in 0.220 s, starting from rest.

- Torque You are playing with the masking tape that came in your lab box. This tape has a thickness that is not small compared to the radius. You measure it and it has an outer radius of 6.40 cm and an inner radius of 3.95 cm. You weigh the tape roll and find that it has a mass of 79.5 g. Now you roll the tape like you would a hoop (Rolling tape 1 (00:05)). The video illustrates the idea of the motion - please do NOT use it for numerical values. You find that the tape starts from rest, and has a torque applied when you push on it with your finger. You push on the outer edge (perpendicular to the radial direction). This causes the tape to accelerate. After 0.75 seconds, you find that the tape has an angular velocity of 53.0 rpm (rotations / minute). What is the Force you applied to the tape to start the rotation?
