Chapter 6, Problem 77GP
A hockey puck of mass m is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the center of a table, as shown in Figure 6-73. The hockey puck moves in a circle of radius r. Tied to the other end of the string, and hanging vertically beneath the table is a mass M. Assuming the tabletop is perfectly smooth, what speed must the hockey puck have if the mass M is to remain at rest?

Thor flies by spinning his hammer really fast from a leather strap at the end of the handle, letting go, then grabbing it and having it pull him. If Thor wants to reach escape velocity (velocity needed to leave Earth’s atmosphere), he will need the linear velocity of the center of mass of the hammer to be 11,200 m/s. Thor's escape velocity is 33532.9 rad/s, the angular velocity is 8055.5 rad/s^2. While the hammer is spinning at its maximum speed what impossibly large tension does the leather strap, which the hammer is spinning by, exert when the hammer is at its lowest point? the hammer has a total mass of 20.0kg.
If the room’s radius is 16.2 m, at what minimum linear speed does Quicksilver need to run to stay on the walls without sliding down? Assume the coefficient of friction between Quicksilver and the wall is 0.236.
In the comics Thor flies by spinning his hammer really fast from a leather strap at the end of the handle, letting go, then grabbing it and having it pull him. If Thor wants to reach escape velocity (velocity needed to leave Earth’s atmosphere), he will need the linear velocity of the center of mass of the hammer to be 11,200 m/s. A) If the distance from the end of the strap to the center of the hammer is 0.334 m, what angular velocity does Thor need to spin his hammer at to reach escape velocity? b) If the hammer starts from rest what angular acceleration does Thor need to reach that angular velocity in 4.16 s? c) While the hammer is spinning at its maximum speed what impossibly large tension does the leather strap, which the hammer is spinning by, exert when the hammer is at its lowest point? The hammer has a total mass of 20.0kg.

Your supervisor has asked you to analyze emergency procedures for extravehicular activity (EVA), when the astronauts leave the International Space Station (ISS) to do repairs to its exterior or perform other tasks. In particular, the scenario you are studying is a failure of the manned-maneuvering unit (MMU), which is a nitrogen-propelled backpack that attaches to the astronaut's primary life support system (PLSS). In this scenario, the astronaut is floating directly away from the ISS and cannot use the failed MMU to get back. Therefore, the emergency plan is to take off the MMU and throw it in a direction directly away from the ISS, an action that will hopefully cause the astronaut to reverse direction and float back to the station. You have the following mass data provided to you: astronaut: 78.1 kg, spacesuit: 36.8 kg, MMU: 115 kg, PLSS: 145 kg. Based on tests performed by astronauts floating "weightless" inside the ISS, the most…arrow_forward
