- You have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the Earth. The design of the space station is shown. It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 58,500 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 125 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. Your supervisor asks you to determine the following: (a) the time interval during which the rockets must be fired if each…arrow_forwardThe polar ice caps have a combined mass of about 2.65 × 1019 kg.

A space probe in outer space has a gyroscope within it used for rotation and stabilization. The moment of inertia of the gyroscope is I = 17.5 kg m² about the axis of the gyroscope, and the moment of inertia of the rest of the space probe is I = 5.00 × 105 kg • m² about the same axis. Initially both the space probe and gyroscope are not rotating. The gyroscope is then switched on and it nearly instantly starts rotating at an angular speed of 110 rad/s. How long (in s) should the gyroscope operate at this speed in order to change the space probe's orientation by 24.0°? (No Response) sarrow_forward
- Solve thisarrow_forwardWalking with a steady cadence is very important for covering long distances efficiently. How we place our feet, and how quickly we walk, also depends on the roughness of the surface we are walking upon and on the slope of the surface: we walk carefully on slippery surfaces, and take smaller steps when hiking up a hill. When we are walking at constant speed in a fixed direction, the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration of our center of mass must be zero. In addition, the sum of torques about the body's center of mass must also be zero. Consider the situation shown in the figure below. ALMA XCM Х СМ XCM XCM XCM We can model the walking gait of a person as a swing of the front leg and torso about the point where the front foot is planted (shown with a red circle in the figure) and a rotation of the trailing leg about the center of mass (CM) of the person.

While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a new game of skill. A thin rod of mass M = 0.550 kg and length l = 2.80 m hangs from a friction-free pivot at its upper end as shown in the figure. Pivot Velcro M Incoming Velcro-covered ball m The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.20 kg at the rod in an attempt to make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the rod to rotate over the top position (that is, rotate 180° opposite of its starting position), you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest point on the rod, you calculate how fast he must throw the ball to win the stuffed animal with this…arrow_forward
- A hanging weight, with a mass of m₁ = 0.365 kg, is attached by a rope to a block with mass m₂ = 0.835 kg as shown in the figure below. The rope goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R₁ = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As the weight falls, the block slides on the table, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μ = 0.250. At the instant shown, the block is moving with a velocity of v; = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley. Assume that the pulley is free to spin without friction, that the rope does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley, and that the mass of the rope is negligible.
