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?

The bunchberry flower has the fastest-moving parts ever seen in a plant. Initially, the stamens are held by the petals in a bent position, storing energy like a coiled spring. As the petals release, the tips of the stamens fly up and quickly release a burst of pollen. Shown are the details of the motion. The tips of the stamens act like a catapult, flipping through a 60° angle; the times on the earlier photos show that this happens in just 0.30 ms. We can model a stamen tip as a 1.0-mm-long, 10 μg rigid rod with a 10 mg anther sac at one end and a pivot point at the opposite end. Though an oversimplification, we will model the motion by assuming the angular acceleration is constant throughout the motion.
What is the speed of the anther sac as it releases its pollen?A. 3.5 m/s B. 7.0 m/sC. 10 m/s D. 14 m/s
