Chapter 11, Problem 58P
A massless spring with constant k is mounted on a turntable of rotational inertia I, as shown in Fig. 11.19. The turntable is on a frictionless vertical axle, though initially it’s not rotating. The spring is compressed a distance Δx from its equilibrium, with a mass m placed against it. When the spring is released, the mass moves at right angles to a line through the turntable’s center, at a distance b from the center, and slides without friction across the table and off the edge. Find expressions for (a) the linear speed of the mass and (b) the rotational speed of the turntable. (Hint: What’s conserved?)

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg 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 4.0 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.
The rigid body consists of three particles connected by massless rods. It is to be rotated about an axis perpendicular to its plane through point P. If M = 0.40 kg, a = 30 cm, and b = 50 cm, how much work is required to take the body from rest to an angular speed of 5.0 rad/s?
