Chapter 12, Problem 85EAP
- sThe 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 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. As FIGURE CP12.85 shows, we can model the stamen tip as a 10-mm-long, 10 µg rigid rod with a anther sac at the end. Although oversimplifying, we’ll assume a constant
angular acceleration . - How large is the “straightening torque”?
- What is the speed of the anther sac as it releases its pollen?

In 2010, the Sikorsky's X2 helicopter became the world's fastest helicopter, flying at 249 miles per hour. When flying over 230 mph, the rotor speed is reduced from 446 to 360 RPM to keep tip speed below Mach 0.9.
If each one of the six rotor blades is about 4.02 m long, how fast is the blade tip actually moving when the rotational speed is 360 RPM?
A man in a barrel walking competition is moving along smoothly, with his barrel moving forward at 1.0 m/s.a. Think about how the man moves his legs. Is he walking forward or backward?b. From the point of view of the top of the barrel—the man’s walking surface—how fast is he walking?
A 90 cm long rod rotates around the horizontal axis at one end. We raise the rod to the highest position and let it fall. With what angular speed is it moving at the lowest point?
