A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly used to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm-diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum torque this turbine applies on the pivot.
Water parks often include a log rolling area, in which participants try to stay upright while balancing on top of floating logs that are free to rotate in the water. If you’ve tried this, you know that the larger the diameter of the log, the easier it is to balance on top. Explain why this is so.
You have a cylinder. You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°. The mass of the cylinder is 450 g and its diameter is 2.1 cm.

- Review. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.00 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.600. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1 000 rev/min (a) in air and (b) in water.arrow_forwardA smooth circular hoop with a radius of 0.500 m is placed flat on the floor. A 0.400-kg particle slides around the inside edge of the hoop. The particle is given an initial speed of 8.00 m/s. After one revolution, its speed has dropped to 6.00 m/s because of friction with the floor.

A solid copper disk of radius 10.50 m is launched toward the sun like a gigantic Frisbee with a constant linear velocity of 350 m/s and a rotation rate of exactly 438.7 rpm about its central axis. At the time of launch, the disk was very cold (-191.1 °C). As it approaches the sun, however, it will get very hot. You and your team have been brought in to determine whether the increased temperature will affect the motion of the disk. (a) Will the rate of rotation be affected when the disk becomes hot? If so, how and why? (b) What will be the rate of rotation (in rad/s) when the copper disk reaches a temperature of 785.9 °C? There are no external torques acting on the disk. Sarrow_forward

- You accidentally knock a full bucket of water off the side of the well shown in the figure. The bucket plunges a distance L to the bottom of the well. Attached to the bucket is a light rope that is wrapped around the crank cylinder. The mass of the bucket plus water within it is M. The crank is a solid cylinder which has a radius of R and mass of m. The moment of intertia of a solid cylinder through its long axis is I=(1/2)mR2. (assume the small handle's inertia is negligable in comparison with the crank cylinder).a) set up the energy equation for when the bucket hits the bottom. Find an expression for how fast the bucket moves as it hits the bottom of the well. Your expression may contain the variables m, M, R, L and any constants.b) How fast is the handle turning when the bucket hits the bottom? your expression may contain the variables M, R, L and any constants.arrow_forwardTwo spheres look identical and have the same mass.
