Problem 6: Consider two cylindrical objects of the same mass and radius. Object A is a solid cylinder, whereas object B is a hollow cylinder.
You are riding your bicycle on a city street, and you are staying a constant distance behind a car that is traveling at the speed limit of 30 mph. Estimate the diameters of the bicycle wheels and sprockets and use these estimated quantities to calculate the number of revolutions per minute made by the large sprocket to which the pedals are attached. Do a Web search if you aren’t familiar with the parts of a bicycle.

- John is pushing his daughter Rachel in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (Fig. P12.15). The handles make an angle of = 15.0 with the ground. Due to the weight of Rachel and the wheelbarrow, a downward force of 400 N is exerted at the center of the wheel, which has a radius of 20.0 cm. (a) What force must John apply along the handles to just start the wheel over the brick? (b) What is the force (magnitude and direction) that the brick exerts on the wheel just as the wheel begins to lift over the brick? In both parts, assume the brick remains fixed and does not slide along the ground. Also assume the force applied by John is directed exactly toward the center of the wheel.arrow_forwardA plank with a mass M = 6.00 kg rests on top of two identical, solid, cylindrical rollers that have R = 5.00 cm and m = 2.00 kg (Fig. P10.87). The plank is pulled by a constant horizontal force F of magnitude 6.00 N applied to the end of the plank and perpendicular to the axes of the cylinders (which are parallel). The cylinders roll without slipping on a Hat surface. There is also no slipping between the cylinders and the plank.

(c) What friction forces are acting at this moment?arrow_forwardThree objects of uniform densitya solid sphere, a solid cylinder, and a hollow cylinderare placed at the top of an incline (Fig. CQ10.9).

- In Figure P10.40, the hanging object has a mass of m1 = 0.420 kg; the sliding block has a mass of m2 = 0.850 kg; and the pulley is a hollow cylinder with a mass of M = 0.350 kg, an inner radius of R1 = 0.020 0 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.030 0 m. Assume the mass of the spokes is negligible. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is k = 0.250. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The light cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of vi = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley when it passes a reference point on the table. (a) Use energy methods to predict its speed after it has moved to a second point, 0.700 m away. (b) Find the angular speed of the pulley at the same moment.

The angular speed of the tip of the angular momentum vector, called its precessional frequency, is given by p=/I, where is the magnitude of the torque on the gyroscope and L is the magnitude of its angular momentum.
