You have just bought a new bicycle. On your first riding trip, it seems that the bike comes to rest relatively quickly after you stop pedaling and let the bicycle coast on flat ground. You call the bicycle shop from which you purchased the vehicle and describe the problem. The technician says
that they will replace the bearings in the wheels or do whatever else is necessary if you can prove that the frictional torque in the axle of the wheels is worse than -0.02 N . m. At first, you are discouraged by the technical sound of what you have been told and by the absence of any tool to
measure torque in your garage. But then you remember that you are taking a physics class! You take your bike into the garage, turn it upside down and start spinning the wheel while you think about how to determine the frictional torque. The driveway outside the garage had a small
puddle, so you notice that droplets of water are flying off the edge of one point on the tire tangentially, including drops that…

- John is pushing his daughter Rachel in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (see the figure below). The handles make an angle of 0 = 17.5° with the ground. Due to the weight of Rachel and the wheelbarrow, a downward force of 403 N is exerted at the center of the wheel, which has a radius of 16.0 cm. 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. (Choose the positive x-axis to be pointing to the right.) i (a) What force (in N) must John apply along the handles to just start the wheel over the brick?

You are fascinated with her work. She is designing a new automobile and needs to determine how strong the front suspension should be. She knows of your fascination with her work and your expertise in physics, so she asks you to determine how large the normal force on the front wheels of her design automobile could become under a hard stop, when the wheels are locked and the automobile is skidding on the road. She gives you the following information. The mass of the automobile is m₂ = 1.10 × 103 kg and it can carry five passengers of average mass m = 80.0 kg. The front and rear wheels are separated by d = 4.45 m. The center of mass of the car carrying five passengers is dCM = 2.25 m behind the front wheels and hCM = 0.630 m above the roadway.
